HEALING POWERS OF WATER
Upto seventy percent of the total body weight is due to water. Although it is present in all parts of the body, it is more in organs such as lungs and brain and fluids such as blood, lymph, saliva and secretions by the organs of the digestive system.
Most people believe that we feel thirsty whenever our body needs more water. While this is true, recent research studies have indicated that there are several other indicators of inadequate water in some or all parts of the body. Ignoring these indicators can lead to several major diseases that medicines may cure but not treat.
HOW IS THE BODY WATER REGULATED?
Whenever there is water shortage in the house, one would prioritise the use of water for essential purposes. Similarly, when the body receives less water histamine, a chemical compound present in all cells, initiates a system of water regulation. Histamine directs some neuro-transmitters to operate sub-systems to regulate water intake. These sub-systems use chemical substances such as “vasopressin” for regulating water intake and distribution. The ratio of the water content in and outside the cells of the various organs is very important. As age of advances, water content in the cells-decreases. Since the water content in each cell plays a vital role in maintaining is normal function, inadequate water can lead to loss of some functions. Loss of functions results in specific signs and symptoms.
IMPORTANT USE OF WATER FOR MAINTAINING NORMAL HEALTH
Necessary for all chemical reactions in the body. Just as water helps a seed grow into a tree, it also helps our body grow from birth to adulthood.
The flow of water inside and outside the cells generates energy. This energy is stored in body along with other chemical sources of energy in the body.
The energy generated by the water in the cells helps transmit impulses in the nerves.
