>> How many times have your heard "drink eight to ten
>> glasses of water
>> everyday?" How often do we actually drink that much
>> pure water? Would you believe that as you are reading
>> this page you are dehydrating?
>>
>> We were all born as grapes, but now we are turning
>> into raisins. Your
>> body
>> was once more than 70% water and now, if you're like
>> most Americans
>> past the age of 40, you are lucky to have a hydration
>> level above 60%. The bodies of most hospitalized
>> elderly are less than 50% water.
>>
>> Today, Americans consume more coffee and soft drinks
>> than water. These beverages, along with tea and
>> alcohol, are diuretics and dehydrate the body.
>>
>> All the moisturizer in the world will not restore a
>> youthful
>> appearance. By dehydrating your body you are actually
>> pulling a hundred times as much water out of your skin
>> through the urinary tract. Much worse than the skin
>> dehydrating, is the dehydration of the internal
>> organs, connective tissue and the brain.
>>
>> Inadequate fluid intake and excess water loss can
>> disrupt critical cell function. Most people experience
>> this level of hydration all day, nearly everyday.
>> Water is essential for all anabolic repair functions,
>> and conversely, dehydration accelerates the aging
>> process.
>>
>> A study at Fred Hutchinson Research Center in Seattle
>> found that women who drank two glasses of water a day
>> had nearly twice the risk of colon cancer than women
>> who drank four glasses a day. The few women who did
>> drink eight or more glasses of water a day had less
>> than half the risk of those who drank only four
>> glasses. The association of increased water intake may
>> also reduce the risk for other types of cancer. In one
>> study, the women who drank the most water were 80%
>> less likely to develop bladder cancer than women who
>> drank the least.
>>
>> Other conditions that often respond to increased water
>> intake include
>> the reduction of headaches, muscle aches, hangovers,
>> fatigue, constipation, and heartburn. Drinking enough
>> water will also reduce fluid retention and edema.
>>
>> Sometimes it is difficult for people to understand
>> that drinking lots
>> of water actually decreases water retention. If you
>> provide your body with ample amounts of pure water, it
>> will not have to retain water in the tissues
>>
>> The body can become significantly dehydrated before we
>> actually feel
>> thirsty.
>>
>> In the morning, you have a true need for water, but
>> you may not feel
>> it. For most people, the first liquid they consume is
>> coffee, a beverage that sucks the water out of our
>> cells. Try this test: Before you eat or drink anything
>> in the morning, sip about four ounces of water-no
>> more. You will be surprised to see that in two to
>> three minutes your mouth will feel parched.
>>
>> Drink another four ounces and in two to three minutes
>> you will be
>> thirsty again. You may have to repeat this six or more
>> times before you are no longer thirsty. Add up all the
>> four-ounce servings that you consumed, and you will
>> discover your body's true metabolic need for water.
