I highly recommend that everyone read the book, Your Bodies Many Cries for Water. It explains how our body systems and cells use water. If we are in a dehydrated state our bodies are prone to illness and disease. After reading this book and implementing the writers, a doctor, suggestions I noticed a huge improvement in my health. The key to getting the most from the water you drink is adding sea salt to your diet. I add the sea salt to my glasses of water. Here is what I first noticed, my irritable bowel basically vanished. My hair became softer. My asthma got better, I have not had to use steroids for it since I started the sea salt. As the years went by I never stopped adding sea salt to my water and I watched as my HDL's on my blood work progressively went up. I started in the 40's and my most recent test had it at 93. That is an amazing level, anything above 60 actually protects you from heart disease. I also feel like I'm aging gracefully.
Here is my common sense approach. We have billions of cells that make us a human and each cell is about 85% water. That's a lot of cells and every one needs water and water replacement to operate efficiently. So, that requires a lot of water for all those cells. If you are short on water, the most important cells will take the water first. Can you now see how not enough water can lead to aging and disease. The sea salt is the gate keeper for each cell, it allows the water in and out of the cell, so if you are short on salt the water doesn't get into the cells. If you are hot and working out and you notice that your fingers are swelling, then you are short on water. Your body turns on the mechanism to save water (retain water) because it needs it for the important cells, like you brain. If you read the book you will understand this process better. Sadly salt has a bad rap in this country. I find it interesting that when you go to the hospital and they hook up an IV to hydrate you, it contains a salt solution. Is there something the doctors are not sharing with us? Another thought is, if you believe that we evolved out of the ocean then it would make sense that a few pinches of sea salt might be good for us. Sea salt is not processed and stripped of the micro nutrients like our iodized table salt. You do need a little of it for iodine, as sea salt doesn't have iodine (that's hard to imagine) but it is so. I don't cook with salt so I add a little iodized salt to my plate of food to add a little flavor. If you believe that God created us, which you should know by now that I do, then he put us on this planet with that huge ocean so that humans would have enough water and salt to sustain life for a very long time. I think it is a win win for both thoughts on creation. One last thing, when I had my hip revision the doctor said he torqued the stem of the replacement and it wasn't loose at all, pretty surprising since it has been in me for 32 years. I credit it to the sea salt and water that I have been doing now for 15 years or so. The salt crystals are actually what makes the bone hard, so it makes sense then that the stem is fully grown into my bone and the salt crystals are keeping it from loosening. So start drinking water and add a few pinches of sea salt and feel your body feeling healthy and strong. Read the book also.
