Information from an article By M J Pangman
Did you know that 50-75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated …and that many of those individuals are drinking the suggested 8 glasses of water a day? It’s true. That’s because as we age, the water in our bodies is less mobile – less able to move within the cells.
Dehydration is a condition that occurs when a person loses more fluid than s/he takes in. However, the problem is not just a lack of water, it is a lack of cellular water! If the water we drink is unable to get into the cells, we can drink water all day long and still be dehydrated.
When there is insufficient water inside the cells, every function suffers and the body must operate from a level of “crisis management.” This has been well documented from the medical perspective, by Dr. Batmanghelidj in his book, Water: for Health, for Healing, for Life – Your’e Not Sick, You’re Thirsty. With a lack of cellular water, organs must compete for vital fluids; balance (homeostasis) gives way to disharmony and disease.
Nothing can happen without water. It is required for every metabolic process. Think about the amount of water that leaves our bodies every day. Copious amounts of water are used to digest food and eliminate wastes. Water from the kidneys neutralizes acidic wastes and sends them out in the urine. Water leaves during respiration. Water is continually being moved through the skin to moderate temperature and flush the tissues of the skin. And when water is lacking inside the cells, our organs do not function properly; toxins are allowed to build up.
Most diseases can be traced to dehydration. In fact, dehydration is the number one cause of stress in the human body. Many scientists believe it is the #1 cause of death. Common signs of dehydration that are often ignored include: dark urine, afternoon fatigue, heartburn, dry skin, acne, headaches and constipation. Dehydration has also been linked with angina pain, asthma, colitis, diabetes, peptic ulcer pain, high blood pressure, low back pain, high blood cholesterol – even aging.
As we age, the amount of water inside our cells decreases. Our cells actually begin to shrink and stiffen – their ability to expand and contract is reduced. As a result, nutrients, and oxygen are not efficiently exchanged at the cell membrane and waste products are not efficiently removed. What we need is the ability to get water back into our cells, where it counts – and that’s where hexagonal water can make a big difference.
While some water is available from the food we eat, the majority of the water we use on a regular basis must be provided by drinking water. Smaller, more organized, hexagonal units enter the cells rapidly providing superior hydration with a subsequent effect on nutrient absorption, waste removal, metabolism, immune function, and overall health.
Drinking hexagonal water is one of the easiest ways to overcome chronic dehydration and to protect your body from disease and premature aging. When individuals consume hexagonal water, the cellular water environment improves, contributing to enhanced energy and improved cellular efficiency.
