Water, Greek Hydro, latin, acqua, chemical makeup. A water molecule has 3 atoms, 2 hydrogen (H), (the name hydro derives from the Greek hydro meaning water and gen meaning gene, which means forming, because it burns in the air to form water) and one oxygen atom(O) , usually called H2O.
The Mayan empire of central Mexico collapsed due to drought where many of their stone cities were abandoned. Modern day Mexico City is going to run out of fresh water supply in the next 2 years. With a population of 22 million that’s a huge problem, that may be repeated worldwide as the years evolve.
Bringing it all back to your body, water levels in the blood have to be kept within a certain range, otherwise your body’s cells become too shrunken (dehydrated), or too bloated (overhydrated) to work. For this reason your kidneys, your endocrine (chemicals that run your body system, and your circulatory system work together to maintain a healthy balance (of water) in your bloodstream.
Too little Water: We lose water constantly through sweating, vomiting, or diarrhoea, etc. the result is a decrease in blood volume (since water is in the blood), and a rise in the level of salt relative to water in your blood. These act as triggers for balance to be restored. The endocrine system releases the hormone ADH which instructs the kidneys to reabsorb water and to retain salts that may be lost through sweating through exercise or stress.
Losing Balance: A number of commonly consumed substances upset the water balance in your body, Alcohol blocks the pituitary glands from releasing the hormone ADH. This means that the kidneys which are working hard to get rid of the alcohol in your bloodstream, send more water out into your urine.
Tips: My doctor, Dr. Lau, a medical doctor in Capel street said to me when I reported to him in 2020, that I drank 8 cups of tea, per that “tea is for relaxation” and not to be drunk in excess. 2) Keep drinking some water or water with magnesium powder each day. 3) Come to get Back Health this week and get your nervous system freed up with a spinal adjustment. Get your body aligned so water balance is restored.
Yours in Health
