Water - the stuff of life
Our body is 75 per cent water.
Our brain is said to be 85 per cent water and highly sensitive to
dehydration. We can go without food for weeks, but without water we die
in a few days.
Lack of water and chronic pain? What most people still don't know is that chronic pains, which cannot easily be explained as injury or infection, should first and foremost be interpreted as signals of chronic water shortage, our bodies literally crying out for water. World-renowned water expert Dr Batmanghelidj maintains a wide range of conditions are the body's many cries for water, including: heartburn, arthritis, lupus, asthma, 'high cholesterol', high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer formation, hot flushes and menstrual problems, obesity, allergies, bulimia, chronic fatigue syndrome, ME, angina, lower back pain, gout, kidney stones, skin disorders, diabetes, fungal/yeast overgrowths, multiple sclerosis, allergies, migraine headaches, general aches and pains, morning sickness, depression, heavy/burdensome periods, colitis, dyspepsia, peptic ulcers. Do you have any of these problems? How much water do you drink? How much water should you drink everyday? At least eight glasses of water we are often told, but it will depend on how much you weigh, how much exercise you do, whether you're pregnant/breastfeeding, how much tea/coffee/alcohol/soft drinks you consume, and where you live (hot/cold, wet/dry or on top of a mountain). How much water does your body need? Every 24 hours your body recycles the equivalent of 40 thousand glasses of water to maintain its normal physiological function. Every day. In this process, depending on environmental and physical conditions, your body will become short of about 6-10 glasses of water. Every day. Recommended reading
