Benefits of Adequate Hydration are Mind Boggling

Water means the difference between good health and disease. Consider some of the benefits.

Good Hydration Cuts the Risk of Disease

Research studies show that good hydration cuts the risk of breast cancer by 79%, reduces the risk of colon cancer by 45% and slashes the risk of bladder cancer by 50%.

Good Hydration Enhances Mental Clarity

A drop of just 2% in body water causes short term memory problems and significant difficulties with concentration. Good hydration helps you become mentally alert throughout the day.

Good Hydration Improves Digestion

A digestive system without sufficient fluid is constipated. Fluid is essential for nutrients to pass through the delicate membranes of the intestines. If the body is adequately hydrated sufficient fluid is present in the digestive track to distribute nutrients troughout the body.

Good Hydration Softens Skin Texture

Adequate hydration makes it possible for water to move through all the membranes of your body so that the largest organ in the body, the skin, is adequately hydrated.

Skin texture softens. The natural aging process is slowed. Wrinkles vanish. Bagging skin tightens.

Why bother to go through the pain of a face lift when giving your body water is a safe, natural and effective alternative with no complications?

Good Hydration Slows the Aging Process

The reason for poor hydration as we age is the gradual decline of the thirst mechanism in the brain. When we are young and get thirsty there is no stopping us when we are thirsty.

A different story emerges as we age. The thirst signal becomes distorted because we ignore it and because we drink dehydrating drinks such as coffee or alcohol.

Good hydration lowers the surface tension of the water that is ingested and reduces the cluster size of its molecules. Wetting capacity is increased, making water more readily available for transport to each and every cell of the body.

Good Hydration Relieves Back and Joint Pain

A little known fact is that adequate hydration has been shown to relieve back and joint pain for as many as 80% of sufferers.

Good Hydration Helps Control Body Weight

For many people the thirst mechanism in the body is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger in one third of Americans. Instead of drinking water we eat.

Adequate hydration resets the thirst mechanism in the brain so that hunger is not confused with thirst. The obvious benefit is a subsequent loss of excess weight that is caused by eating too much food.

In summary, what are the mindboggling benefits of good hydration?

* We look and feel younger.
* Mental clarity gets a welcome boost.
* Our digestive system sends nutrients to each cell
* Weight control is restored.
* Ability to handle stress is enhanced.
* Pain from aching joints is reduced.
* Overall flexibility is restored.

All systems in the body function at their peak potential with good hydration. Sound too good to be true?

It is not. As simple minded as it may sound, water is the secret to good health.
