WHY IS WATER VITAL TO MY HEALTH?
Water is an important structural component of skin cartilage, tissues and organs. For human beings, every part of the body is dependent on water. Our body comprises about 75% water: the brain has 85%, blood is 90%, muscles are 75%, kidney is 82% and bones are 22% water. The functions of our glands and organs will eventually deteriorate if they are not nourished with good, clean water.
The average adult loses about 2.5 litres water daily through perspiration, breathing and elimination. Symptoms of the body's deterioration begins to appear when the body loses 5% of its total water volume. In a healthy adult, this is seen as fatigue and general discomfort, whereas for an infant, it can be dehydrating. In an elderly person, a 5% water loss causes the body chemistry to become abnormal, especially if the percentage of electrolytes is overbalanced with sodium.One can usually see symptoms of aging, such as wrinkles, lethargy and even disorientation. Continuous water loss over time will speed up aging as well as increase risks of diseases.
If your body is not sufficiently hydrated, the cells will draw water from your bloodstream, which will make your heart work harder. At the same time, the kidneys cannot purify blood effectively. When this happens, some of the kidney's workload is passed on to the liver and other organs, which may cause them to be severely stressed. Additionally, you may develop a number of minor health conditions such as constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, nosebleeds, urinary tract infection, coughs, sneezing, sinus pressure, and headaches.
So, how much water is enough for you? The minimum amount of water you need depends on your body weight. A more accurate calculation, is to drink an ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight. Back to Top
HEALTH BENEFITS
For centuries the health and vitality of the longest living people on the planet has been attributed to them consuming mineral water direct from mother nature, only water sourced from beneath mineral filled rock without artificial purification processes can provide this level of well-being.
Mineral water is a very popular drink in the modern world and contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, along with other dissolved substances that are very beneficial for human health and hygiene. Among the various substances found dissolved in mineral water, the vital ones are salt, sulfur compounds and various gases. The use of mineral water to cure ailments and diseases has been known since a long time. It was traditionally consumed at its very source called spas, wells or baths. However, there is a mild difference in the usage of these words. Spas would be used when the water was used for the purpose of both consumption and bath, wells would be used when the water was not generally used to bathe with and bath when the water was not generally consumed. Today, bottling of mineral water has become a blooming business, as people are coming to know more about the diverse health benefits of mineral water.
In accordance with a study published by the “British Journal of Nutrition” in the year 2005, drinking mineral water can help to increase the level of HDL (High Density Lipoprotein or good cholesterol) and at the same time, lower the level of LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein or bad cholesterol). The high calcium present in mineral water helps to decrease the bone loss in postmenopausal women and strengthens the human skeletal system as well. Certain people are unable to drink milk due to lactose intolerance and hence are unable to get the daily calcium requirement of the body. Drinking mineral water will be beneficial for such people, as studies have shown that the calcium absorbed from drinking high calcium mineral water is comparable to that from consuming dairy products.
The magnesium present in mineral water can help to strengthen the human immune system, relax the muscles and lower blood pressure.
Drinking mineral water also helps to achieve optimal health. One major function of mineral water is that it helps to replenish water that is naturally lost from the body, due to various activities. Besides this, it also helps to maintain a balance in the electrolyte level in the body, as it is full of electrolytes (minerals) which naturally dissolve in the water. The chlorides and bicarbonates present in mineral water play an important role in digestion and aid in maintaining a balance in the acid levels within the stomach and upper and lower intestines.
Certain varieties of mineral water contain small quantities of iron, which is very essential for the process of oxygen transport throughout the body.
The sulfate found in certain varieties of mineral water acts as a detoxifying agent and is used by the human body for the purpose of cleansing and detoxifying the harmful agents. Mineral water is also used to combat the infections caused by fungi and viruses. Many individuals believe that drinking mineral water on a regular basis can reduce the aches due to muscle and joint inflammation.
Alkaline Water – The ESSENCE OF LONGER AND HEALTHIER LIFE!
Water is perhaps one of the most fundamental elements that sustains life. But if you are thinking that it is only a basic thirst-quencher, you might be surprised. With 70% of our body made up of water, and the fluid playing a key functional role in the human circulatory system, water could be more instrumental in helping you stay in the pink of health than you might have thought.
In fact, in some parts of the world, such as the Longevity Villages in Japan and Korea, Lourdes in France, Sangsa Village in Korea as well as the Himalayan Hunza Valley, healthy drinking water has been identified as one of the key reasons why people live longer and healthier. Water in these regions is naturally rich in ions, oxygen as well as alkaline minerals; this is widely known as “alkaline ionized water”. For over fifty years, research by scientists around the world has proven that alkaline ionized water is highly effective in restoring the balance in our body chemistry, detoxifying our body and boosting immunity, among other health benefits observed. When consumed regularly, it is said to lead to greater vitality and better health.
