By drinking adequate water on a regular basis, you maintain the balance of fluids in your body, stay hydrated and will be in good health.
Drinking water is important to keep your body from becoming dehydrated, which will eventually lead to the shutting down of your organs, coma and death.
Between 70 and 75% of the human body is water:
- Blood is 83% water
- Lungs are 90% water
- Muscles are 75% water
- The brain is 95% water
Your entire body is made up of electrical cells, each of which is filled with a water solution made up of a variety of elements: amino acids, fats, proteins, minerals and micro-elements. Every single action that helps us to stay alive and function is electrical in nature and happens in water, via a process called electrolysis.
Electrolytes, which are found in the water that we drink and which the body needs to perform even the most basic functions, are minerals like bicarbonate, potassium, chloride and sodium. When our bodies are sufficiently hydrated and contain a normal balance of fluids and electrolytes, micro-elements and minerals travel via the cell membrane to the nucleus by electro-osmosis and all is well.
When you do not drink water as regularly as you should, the body lacks water and electrolytes; the water and minerals cannot perform the functions they need to because electrolysis cannot occur, and the cells dry out and eventually die.
Yes the body’s fluid balance needs to be maintained, and eating water-heavy vegetables and fruit and drinking other fluids can replace some of the water we lose through sweating etcetera, but they do not contain the salts or electrolytes that our bodies need to function, so the majority of fluid replacement must be done via drinking pure water.
According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, who did research on ulcers whilst a political prisoner in Iran, “You are Not Sick – You’re Thirsty!†The doctor contends that drinking water can cure many illnesses because the illness is just the body’s way of telling us that it needs more water. He says that using drugs (medicine) is just a temporary solution that treats the symptoms and not the cause of a health problem. While this may sound a bit far-fetched, holistic healers have maintained for years that pharmaceutical drugs do more harm to the body than good.
SO, if you want to maintain a healthy body, drink water throughout the day, as often as you need to taking into consideration the climate, your age, health and exercise regimen, and you will stay hale and hearty and look and feel much better too.
