LACK OF HYDRATION:
Physical Emergency Signals - morning sickness, migraine headaches, heartburn,
anginal pain, rheumatoid joint pain, back pain, lower leg pain, collitis,
chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia...
After a significant amount of time and depletion of proper hydration, the
physical emergency signals kick in, which can include early morning sickness,
migraine headaches, heartburn, anginal pain, rheumatoid joint pain, back
pain, lower leg pain, collitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and appendicitis
pain when no temperature is present. As the body draws what little
water it has left to maintain brain and vascular functions, circulation
becomes severly limited impending the body’s need to wash toxic molecular
wastes away. Since these waste bi-products are acidic in nature, acid
levels rise throwing off the pH balance of the body. With lack of circulation,
muscle fibers begin to stick together, forming adhesions and trigger points,
producing pain. The lubrication needed in the cartilage of the vertebral
discs and within the body joints is dimimished causing dryness and roughness
at its connections, producing arthritic pain. In return, the muscles
supporting these joints must work harder to keep everything in alignment
trying to support proper movement and keep our structures erect. Such
constant stress on these muscles will eventually lead to muscle spasms.
So how much water is enough? A minimum of 2 quarts of water a day
is often recommended, but many experts believe our water intake should be
in proportion to our body weight. 1/2 ounce for every pound, or basically
1/2 your body weight in ounces of water is need for basic normal functioning.
If you are involved in a very active lifestyle, much more is required.
