DID YOU KNOW…

Every function of the body is monitored and pegged to the efficient flow of water, and the simple truth is that dehydration can cause serious disease.

Background Information

When you consider that our bodies are made up of billions of cells all working together for a common good, it really makes sense that in order to evaluate the health state of the human organism, we first need to examine its smallest living component… the cell. In reality, it is the breakdowns and degenerations which occur at the cellular level in our bodies that lead to all of our major health problems.

To your cells, WATER IS EVERYTHING! Over 99% of the biological reactions in the body involve water. Water is needed for the delivery and utilization of nutrients. Water is needed for the elimination of toxins and wastes. Water is needed to maintain optimal communication within and between cells. Water is needed to preserve the electrical properties of the cells. Water is needed for supporting protein structure and enzyme activity. And, water even serves as the adhesive which holds together the structures in cell architecture.

When any of these functions are compromised, disease and aging processes begin to manifest and accelerate. However, if these functions are improved, the body moves back to a state of balance where it can begin to effectively heal itself and possibly begin reversing the effects of aging.

It is also important to note that the material inside of your cells is gelatinous and must remain at a very specific consistency in order for your cells to be healthy. When your cells become dehydrated, this gelatinous material hardens, making it less porous and more difficult for nutrients and oxygen to pass into the cells and toxins and wastes to be removed out of the cells.

In order for water to work optimally with the cells in your body, it must be able to pass freely through the cell wall and penetrate this gelatinous material that fills your cells.

In the early 1900’s, Dr. Alexis Carrel won the Nobel Prize by managing to keep alive tissue from the heart of a chicken embryo for 29 years. He did this by providing the heart tissue with the nutrients it required to sustain life and by constantly changing the fluid the tissue was immersed in. The tissue finally died when someone forgot to replace the fluid full of cellular waste with clean, unpolluted fluid. Upon completing this experiment, Dr. Carrell stated,

”The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats that degenerates. Renew this fluid at intervals, give the cell something on which to feed, and so far as we know, the pulsation of life may go on forever.”

This incredible experiment shows how important it is to provide your cells with a constant supply on healthy, clean water on a consistent basis if you want them to maintain higher levels of health.

Unfortunately, not all water is created equal when it comes to hydrating your body on a deep cellular level.
