LACK OF HYDRATION
- Physical Symptoms..Asthma, Allergies, Diabetes, Hypertenstion...
The first physical ailment symptoms to
appear when our body is seriously lacking water is Asthma, Allergies,
Diabetes, and Hypertension. Today
12 million children have childhood asthma. Because the lungs require
water to contract the alveoli in order to push the air out, in preservation
the lungs shut down to prevent more water loss from the body. Our
children are bombarded daily at school with vending machines and advertisements
for the popular soda revolution. Caffeinated beverages, as well as
soda, dehydrate the body as well as leaching out important minerals needed
for proper growth and body function. In addition, caffeine is a neurotoxin
which suppresses the brains enzyme system in memory making, producing loss
of memory and inability to learn. When you consider that our brains
utilize 85% of the body’s water, it’s no surprise that between dehydration
and caffeine consumption our children are plagued with learning disabilities
and ADD. Henry David Thoreau was totally on target when he quoted,
"Water is the only drink for a wise man.”
Normal blood tests will not reflect the dehydration of the body,
since the vascular system will have the least amount of water loss.
66% of the loss is reflected inside the cells themselves (reducing cellular
actitivity drastically), followed by 26% loss outside the cells, with only
8% loss in the vascular system. Water binds cell membranes together
and when such a great loss is present it can lead to DNA damage and immune
suppression. Nothing can live without water.
