Miracle Water: Human most incredible healing power

Our body is 66 percent water. From all the cells that make the completely human body contain water and need water to work effectively. Water is needed in every actions of one's human body consist of digestive system, consumption, circulation, creation of saliva, transport of nutritional value, and maintenance of your body temperature.

The excellent ability water to melt so many substances allows our cells to use valuable nutrients, minerals, and chemicals in biological processes. Water acts as a delivery system, a lubricant for the blood and allows transport waste elements out of one's human body through lung (breathing), skin (sweating), kidney (urination), and colon (feces).

Miracle Water

Water is the simplest thing that we can take and has the most incredible healing power, and it is important to our survival. Consuming enough water will save you from many illnesses and diseases, lessen your chance to infection, and may solve many of your health problems. In fact, there are many reasons the body needs enough water regularly.

 Here are some examples of how water can get a lean and healthy body.

• Water can be beneficial to weight-loss. Water help to increase your metabolic rate to burn fat faster and controlling appetite. (Make sure to consume appropriate quantity of water to encourage your liver to boost metabolism.) Water can also help to decrease bloating.
• Drinking enough quantities of water can decrease the risk of certain types of cancers, including colon cancer, bladder cancer, and breasts cancers.
• Drinking enough water will make your skin glowing and smooth. Lessen wrinkles that triggered dehydration. Water helps moisturize skin and ensure proper cellular formation underneath layers of skin to make it shine and healthy.

• Drinking more water helps to control and lower blood pressure.
• Drinking water can significantly reduce joint or back pain. (Muscle pains sometimes are caused by dehydration)
• Water aids in the digestion and help to prevent constipation. It encourages regular bowel movement.
• Water results in increased energy levels. The most common cause of daytime exhaustion is light dehydration. It also helps to relieve headaches.
• Detoxification. Our body needs water to help remove toxins and waste product from our body.

Dr. Batmanghelidj, the author of “Your Body's Many Cries for Water,” state that many other health issues resulting from serious low-level dehydration such as gastric ulcers, joint pain, asthma and allergies, and many more conditions.

Dehydration: Signs that tell you need more water.

Our body loses water every day through the body activities. If water that has been lost is not refueled, the body becomes dehydrated. The thirst starts when we have lost between 1 and 2 percent of body water. However, it is often mistaken for hunger. If we ignore it, the dehydration will continue and seriously affects psychological and physical performance. Three percent loss of body water can result in loss of muscle strength. That is why we feel weak and tired.

Mild dehydration can cause to constipation, headaches, sleepiness and mental confusion. The body temperature goes up and concentration becomes more difficult. Exhaustion in the afternoon is mostly resulted from mild dehydration.

Ask yourself these questions to see if your body needs more water.

• Do you often have constipation?
• Are you often thirsty? (If you are constantly thirsty, it can mean that you need more water, or   something else. The other two reasons are diabetes, and essential fat deficiency, which often occur to children)
• Do you have joint problems?
• Do you feel tired?
• Do you have difficulty focusing, faintness, or light-headed?
• Are you overheating?
• Are you having dry skin, mouth, or lips?
• Do you get frequent infections?
• Are you having dry, weak hair?
• Does your urine have strong, dark yellow color? 

How much is enough? Do not stick to the eight-glass rule.

Eight glasses per day are about 2 quarts a day. Even though we need water but the amount that we need could be varied, depending on each person's condition. Just like nutrients, each person has different needs. There is no universal rule for this. A good estimate is to take your bodyweight in pounds and divide that number in half. (For example, if your are 150 pounds, you need at least 75 ounces of water per day) That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink.

Other reasons to consider include physical activities (If you work out, you should drink more because of sweating), climate (Dry or humid), health condition (If need to limit water intake), and physical condition (Women who are expecting or breast-feeding need additional fluids to drink to stay hydrated.)

Now that we know water is important for us, is it possible to drink too much water?

Water intoxication and hyponatremia

It is possible, but unusual to occur. Most people are drinking waterless than drinking too much. Drinking a great amount of water in a short period can lead to water intoxication. It simply said the person is 'drown' in water that has been drunk. Too much water results in the dilution of sodium in the body. Drinking an enormous amount of water also overwhelms the kidney as they cannot process and remove water fast enough, so sodium in your blood drops too low. This is a disorder called ‘hyponatremia’, which means 'low sodium.' The brain needs sodium to work effectively. When the sodium levels drop, a person feels confusion and sleepiness. Severe symptoms can cause to twitching, seizures and even death. Water intoxication and hyponatremia result when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes.

This is most commonly seen in infants under six months and sometimes in athletes. A baby can get water intoxication if drunk many bottles water a day. (Which rarely happens?) Athlete’s loss water by heavily perspiration, so they lose both water and electrolytes (Salt or Sodium). Drinking too much water will likely lead to hyponatremia as mentioned above.

Some other reasons that can trigger the thirst reflex the body includes some drugs and psychological disorder, makes the individual cannot stop drinking.

Therefore, it is not how much you consume; it is how quick you consume it.

Twenty percent of your water need will come from the foods you eat. The rest of your water need should come from the drinks you consume. Water is the best choice. Consuming a little amount water throughout your day is better than drinking many glasses of water in a short time. As you can see that water, intoxication is an unusual condition. Therefore, even if you consume a little more than you need per day but in a small amount throughout your day should not do any harm to your human body.
