Summertime and the living may not be so easy.

Summertime can be sizzle-time.  As the heat intensifies, the need for water intensifies.  And since we as humans are made up of about 70-75% water, we need to be sure that we are not losing that vital balance.  Consider the dangers of both temporary and chronic dehydration.


What are some of the potential results from dehydration?

Fatigue

Dehydration causes enzyme activity to slow down. Water moving between the inside and outside of the cell also generates energy.

Who wants to go through the summer drained and tired?  People often think they are drinking more than they really are.  For instance, some who drink a lot of coffee think they are hydrating their bodies, when in reality the coffee is really dehydrating and depleting the water in the tissues.

So instead of the water substitutes, instead of the bottled waters, drink real Kangen Water® for superior hydration.  One guideline for the amount of water to drink, is to take your actual weight, divide it in half and drink that number of ounces of water per day.   For example, a person weighing 150 pounds should drink at least 75 ounces of water daily.  But remember that in intense heat, you may need even more.

Digestive Disorders

The friendly bacteria in the “gut” require negative ORP values to thrive.

So if you are providing beverages with a positive ORP, like soda pop and other popular drinks, ( and even most bottled waters) then your body is being deprived of the important antioxidant potential. (ORP = oxidation reduction potential.)

Remember that Kangen Water® does have a strong negative ORP, meaning that it provides vital antioxidants.  See some test results comparing various beverages and Kangen Water®.

Acid-alkaline Imbalance

Dehydration significantly impacts how the body moves acid wastes.

This is of primary importance.  We all need to strive for that critical balance of the acidic and alkaline in our bodies.  When that balance is not maintained, many illnesses ensue.

Everybody knows that so many people suffer from acid reflux, and many other gastrointestinal maladies.

Constipation

Dehydration causes the colon to pull as much water from the waste as possible.

This contributes to constipation.  Don’t set up residency in the bathroom, waiting for proper elimination.  Sure, you can read the paper there, and daydream, and watch flowers, etc.  But proper and regular bowel movement is more likely to be facilitated if there is significant hydration.

High Blood Pressure

Did you know that 95% of blood plasma is water?  Dehydration thickens the blood and therefore elevates blood pressure.

Keep that blood pressure in the normal range by getting enough water daily. Don’t risk the dangers of an elevated reading that could be caused by common dehydration.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is produced to slow down cellular water loss when there is not vital hydration.

Why risk an elevated cholesterol? It may be shocking to find out that cholesterol may increase just from lack of water. There are enough other factors that may be more difficult to control. But water—that is something we can easily regulate.  Drink to your health.                                                              

Weight Gain

At 2% hydration the body is too acidic and goes into fat storage mode. (A one hour workout can get you to this point)

So who wants to go to all that effort putting in a one hour workout, only to be more liable to gain weight? Not a good idea! It would be a lot simpler just to make sure that you are properly hydrated before, during and after the workout. But, remember to watch what form of hydration you are selecting. Those soft drinks and most sports drinks simple don’t fit the bill.

Skin Disorders

Dehydration reduces the ability of the skin to eliminate wastes and causes wrinkles, etc.

So lubricate that skin–after all its the largest organ in the body. And then, also, in the hot summer climate, pay attention to the damage of the sun rays, when your skin is not protected. Well, that’s only common sense. Use Kangen Beauty Water, which is acid water, and which makes the skin feel good and fresh.

Liver, Kidney, Bladder Problems

Dehydration increases the concentration of toxins in these organs of elimination.

Who wants to house toxins needlessly?  Flush them out with adequate hydration.  Send emergency assistance to the liver, the kidney and the bladder.  For the best rescue, send lots of alkaline water to the source.  Your organs will thank you.

Respiratory Problems

Dehydration causes the respiratory system to dilate to reduce water loss via exhaling.

But you can breathe easily, breathe deeply when you know that providing your body with plenty of healthy, alkaline, ionized water will prevent such respiratory problems that could otherwise be caused from dehydration.


Joint Problems

The fluids around the joints are mostly water.

What if there is not enough fluid around the joints?  There is more pain, stress, and less ability to move freely.  Many individual, anecdotal records reveal relief from chronic joint pain, after drinking adequate amounts of alkaline water.

Premature Aging

Dehydration places great stress on the body and increases oxidation and aging.

Well, this may be like saving the worst for last. Who do you know who wants to age faster? Well, when you cut open the apple and leave it, then you observe oxidation or instant aging. So why should we want to have instant aging?

Nevertheless, a great deal of our population suffers from dehydration, and not just dehydration from excessive heat. This is a year round problem, affecting all ages, and backgrounds. In a recent study, 31% of Seniors were found to be dehydrated.

Drinking Kangen Water® helps to maintain fluid balance for everyone. It can be the solution for better health and hydration.
