Water is essential to live. Most of us forget the true importance of water and go about our day drinking other beverages like, juice, pop, energy drinks, tea and coffee. We all know we are made up of at least 70% water, but yet so many people choose not to provide it for our bodies. Then we wonder why we’re sick. We’re sick because one of the main ingredients in life, we are forgetting about, we are forgetting that water helps flush our body of toxins, we forget that water helps to push nutrients and vitamins around our body that are essential to keeping healthy. And lastly we forget that water keeps us hydrated along with so much more. You can go weeks without food but only 5-7 days without water. On the Next Page check out if you have any of these 13 symptoms and see if you’re dehydrated. Most people are!
Check out the article we found over at Organic Health.
Dehydration occurs when the body loses more water than it takes in. Vomiting, diarrhea, the use of drugs that increase urine excretion (diuretics), profuse sweating (for example, during heat waves, particularly with prolonged exertion), and decreased water intake can lead to dehydration.
But there is a chronic form of dehydration that does not have the sudden and intense symptoms of the acute form. Chronic dehydration is widespread in the present day and affects everyone who is not drinking enough liquid.
At first, dehydration stimulates the thirst center of the brain, causing thirst, a powerful motivator for people to drink more fluids. If water intake does not keep up with water loss, dehydration can become more severe.
Here are 13 symptoms that tells you that you are not consuming enough H2O:
Fatigue, Energy Loss: Dehydration of the tissues causes enzymatic activity to slow down.
Premature Aging: The body of a newborn child is composed of 80 percent liquid, but this percentage declines to no more than 70 percent in an adult and continues to decline with age.
Excess Weight and Obesity: We may overeat because we crave foods rich in water. Thirst is often confused with hunger.
High and Low Blood Pressure: The body’s blood volume is not enough to completely fill the entire set of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Cholesterol: When dehydration causes too much liquid to be drained from inside the cells, the body tries to stop this loss by producing more cholesterol.
Constipation: When chewed food enters the colon, it contains too much liquid to allow stools to form properly, and the wall of the colon reduces it. In chronic dehydration, the colon takes too much water to give to other parts of the body.
Digestive Disorders: In chronic dehydration, the secretion of digestive juices is less.
Gastritis, Stomach Ulcers: To protect its mucous membranes from being destroyed by the acidic digestive fluid it produces, the stomach secretes a layer of mucus.
Respiratory Troubles: The mucous membranes of the respiratory region are slightly moist to protect the respiratory tract from substances that might be present in inhaled air.
Acid-Alkaline Imbalance: Dehydration activates an enzymatic slowdown producing acidification.
Eczema: Your body needs enough moisture to sweat 20 to 24 ounces of water, the amount necessary to dilute toxins so they do not irritate the skin.
Cystitis, Urinary Infections: If toxins contained in urine are insufficiently diluted, they attack the urinary mucous membranes.
Rheumatism: Dehydration abnormally increases the concentration of toxins in the blood and cellular fluids, and the pains increase in proportion to the concentration of the toxins.

Most of the time people will just drink coffee or tea during breakfast and lunch, hardly drinking any water at all. No wonder there’s so many sick people around.

So get yourself a Berkey so you can drink the best, purest water available! I had never tasted water till I bought my Berkey!
Michelle Karwatt Anstadt

Yes agreed, but if you’re drink trap or bottled water you aren’t getting pure water. We need to remove fluoride, chlorine and heavy metals out of the water which neither of the above do. Check out The Berkey water filter system, not expensive about $300 best $ I ever soent
