Why Do We Need Water?

WHY DO WE NEED WATER?

DEHYDRATION - When the body is dehydrated, a form of rationing & distribution goes into play to ration the available water. Since the body has no reserve system, it operates a priority distribution system for the amount that has been made available by intake. The body’s signals of dehydrations are frequently joint pain, & ulcers, back pain, low energy, mental confusion & disorientation.

WHY DO WE NEED WATER?

KIDNEYS - The kidneys remove wastes such as uric aced, urea & lactic acid, all of which must be dissolved in water. When there isn’t sufficient water, those wastes are not effectively removed, which may result in damage to the kidneys.

WHY DO WE NEED WATER?

JOINTS - Water lubricates our joints. The cartilage tissues found at the ends of long bones & between the vertebrae of the spine hold a lot of water, which serves as a lubricant during the movement of the joint. When the cartilage is will hydrated, the two opposing surfaces glide freely, & friction damage is minimal. If the cartilage is dehydrated, the rate of “abrasive” damage is increased, resulting in joint deterioration & increased pain. The actively growing blood cells in the bone marrow take priority over the cartilage for the available water that goes through the bone structure.
