Water and Intracellular Hydration
THE POWER OF WATER AND INTRACELLULAR HYDRATION
COMPLICATIONS OF DEHYDRATION
When the body's fluid supply is severely depleted, hypovolemic shock may occur.
This condition also called physical collapse may cause symptoms such as pale, cool and/or clammy skin as well as a rapid heartbeat and shallow breathing.
Blood pressure may lower and sometimes low enough that it cannot be measured. The skin around the knees and elbows may become blotchy. One may experience anxiety, restlessness and an increased thirst. Eventually one’s temperature may reach 107 degrees in which brain and organ damage can quickly occur.
Alcohol and caffeine as well as other diuretics and some medications can increase fluid excretion and cause dehydration.
However, even in healthy individuals the water consumed may not be getting into the cells as water can pass through the body rapidly for many reasons discussed in this video and outlined in this handout.
WAYS TO INCREASE INTRACELLULAR HYDRATION
THE POWER OF WORDS
Store your water in glass and place healing words and phrases on the water bottle. You can get clear vinyl stickers with the words such as love and happiness that you can adhere to your bottle which then sends loving intentions to your water as it is being structured.
SUN EXPOSURE
Exposure to the infrared light from the sun’s rays or an near infrared sauna will structure the water already in your body.
FOLLOW YOUR SEASONAL EATING PLAN AND EAT ELECTROLYTE FOODS
Foods rich in electrolyte minerals help nourish your macro-membranes and keep your cells hydrated. Add good quality sea salt to your food and even drink pickle juice which contains sodium, potassium and magnesium. Eating good quality veggies and fruits full of minerals can provide lots of electrolytes to your cells.
GET ADEQUATE FIBER IN YOUR DIET
Fiber helps your body to absorb water by creating bulk and keeping food in your intestines longer, so you can extract more nutrients and liquid from it to utilize in your cells. Eating lots of fibrous veggies can supply adequate fiber to the diet but if you feel you need more fiber talk to your practitioner for recommendations.
EXERCISE
Rebounding (trampoline workouts), walking, and other forms of exercise especially resistance training, can increase cellular hydration in both men and women.
ADEQUATE SALT INTAKE
Add good quality, clean sea salt, liberally to your food. My favorite brands of sea salt include are Redmond Real Sea Salt and Baha Gold Sea Salt Salt.
MOLECULAR HYDROGEN
Add some hydrogenated water, 1 glass a day, to your routine. You can buy inexpensive H2 Molecular Hydrogen tablets from Mercola’s website. More on video.
