The SHOCKING Hydration Mistake Slowly Killing You

WATER & DEHYDRATION

The number one vital element needed for life is oxygen. The second most vital element needed for life is water. You can go 3 minutes without oxygen. You can go a couple of weeks without water. I always thought it was three days without water until I read a book called The Long Walk about some people who were escaping a Siberian work camp and they were in the desert and they went nearly two weeks without water {probably a cold desert where they didn't perspire much}. What is the second most vital element needed for life? In fact, where there's no water, you don't usually get people living. I always say to people, how much water do you drink? And these are some of the answers. I don't like water. If I drink water, my feet swell. If I drink water, I'm going to the bathroom all day. Those last two answers tell me that the water is not getting inside the cell. So how do we get the water inside the cell?

SODIUM, POTASSIUM, AVOID TABLE SALT

The third most vital element needed for life is sodium. The fourth most vital element needed for life is potassium. In nature, we find the highest amount of sodium in sea water and sea water contains 92 minerals. Of those 92 minerals, approximately 30% is sodium, and approximately 50% is chloride. Now because sodium chloride takes up the most amount, they're the first crystals formed when the water is evaporated. So what man does is he scoops up the first crystals formed, he bleaches them white, puts aluminium with it so that it runs freely. And there's your table salt. Table salt is a dangerous salt, because we now have two very harsh minerals that if you were to inject both of those into the blood, you'd die. There too harsh minerals and they need all the other 90 minerals to soften and balance them. The highest concentration of mineral inside the cell is potassium. The highest concentration outside the cell is sodium. And in this bilayered membrane that is around every cell, there are sodium-potassium pumps. And these sodium-potassium pumps are ever going like this, maintaining the balance between potassium and sodium. But when someone's not eating enough fruits and vegetables, and that's where you get most of your potassium and they're putting salt on everything far too much. What happens now is sodium levels rise and potassium levels drop. There is a small amount of sodium in the cell. But when this happens, you see osmosis and diffusion happens when the highest concentration merges into the lowest. So now sodium levels inside the cell are rising, which they should not. And the cell swells. What's that called?: High blood pressure.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, CELTIC SALT & HYDRATION

The doctor is right. Table salt will contribute to high blood pressure. There's a French doctor named Lee Langri and he's written a whole book on Salt. He said, When people come to me with high blood pressure, I put them on Celtic salt. Why does he put them on Celtic salt? Because Celtic salt contains 82 minerals. It's a hand-harvested sea salt. What about Himalayan salt? In many places, Himalayan salt is a lot easier to get. There's about 75 minerals, so it's pretty good. But I prefer the Celtic salt. And one reason is that the Celtic salt has three magnesiums. It contains magnesium chloride, magnesium bromide and magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is a water-hungry molecule and this explains why the Celtic salt is such a moist salt, especially when we've had a lot of rain. Because magnesium is a water-hungry molecule, it can be used to help the water get into the cell. So when you take a crystal of Celtic salt, put it on your tongue. And some say how big is a crystal? Well if you've got high blood pressure, start small, about the size of a sesame seed. I don't have high blood pressure so I might have about as big as 3 little sesame seeds. Put it on your tongue. Your mucous membranes start absorbing the minerals. The magnesium is taken to the cell membrane and you drink your water and that magnesium pulls that water inside the cell. It's the quickest way to hydrate the body. The only time excess water drinking can be dangerous is if people drink too much at once and don't have the minerals that are in the Celtic salt to pull that water inside the cell. I've had people complain to me, they say I'm drinking more water now and now I'm going to the bathroom all day. So I say are you having salt? Have a little crystal before every glass of water and ideally we should be having approximately 8 glasses of water a day, but don't drink a whole glass at once. I drink half a glass as soon as I get up. I go to the bathroom, I drink another half glass. Then I get dressed and have another half glass. But when I start every glass I have that little bit of salt. So you spread the water over the day. And many people have said to me, thank you so much, that has made a big difference. If you take huge water in, it's not long before huge water has to come out. It's like watering a plant. And look how God sends the rain little by little by little. So remember that with your body. Take it little by little by little by little. It is the best way to take it.

TABLE SALT KILLS TASTE

Did you know that sodium chloride is so strong it can kill the taste buds? Have you seen people that eat table salt? They put it on everything and they put it on before they're even tasted it. Well, no wonder their taste buds are dying. Whereas Celtic salt with all of its minerals, it enhances the flavor of the food. Now the red lentils we had this morning, a few people have said what's in this? I've even served it at my house at breakfast and people have said, Is there chicken in this? And I know why they say that, it's because it's so flavoursome. Well it has a little olive oil, some herbs, (nice if you can get fresh or Italian herbs) And some Celtic salt and a bit of turmeric.

MINERALS & SUNSHINE

So sodium not only is required to get the glucose into the blood, it's also required to get the water into the cell. So sodium is the third most vital element needed for life, and you can get that information on the four vitals in any Anatomy and Physiology book, Chemistry book, Biology book. I'm just giving you the facts here. So as you can see, water is very important, but so is the salt. And again, the potassium is found in all your fresh fruits and vegetables. Calcium cannot get into the cell by itself. It needs vitamin D. When vitamin D is present, the calcium is pulled inside the cell. This is happening in America a lot today. People are not drinking enough water, they're not having the whole salt and they're definitely not having many greens, which is where your magnesium is. So the little bit of water they're having is not getting inside the cell. They don't go out in the sunshine because they're scared of getting skin cancer, so they're not getting their vitamin D. And the minerals can't get in.

FAT & HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

And they're trying to lose weight, so they've listened to a lot of the media hype that you gotta stop the fat because fat will make you fat. So they're on a high carbohydrate diet. Remember what fat will do, it'll give you satisfaction, or a satiation or full feeling. But if you're not having any fat, you just eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat. The whole packet of cookies goes, the whole bag of chips goes, because there's not a sign in your body that says enough. It's the fiber, protein and good fats that will give you that sign. So they were on a high carbohydrate diet, thinking that if they go fat-free, they'll lose weight. And can you see what's happening? The water can't get in. The minerals can't get in. The glucose can't get in. And the body says what are we going to do? Because, remember, this is the vital need of the human body. What are we going to do? And the body says we've got one last thing up our sleeve. We'll just force it into the cell. That's high blood pressure. So high blood pressure can be a result of dehydration. It can be a result of mineral deficiency, magnesium deficiency. It can be result of vitamin D deficiency. It can be a result of a high carbohydrate, high sugar diet. It can be a result of inactivity. So there's a whole lot of things that can come together to contribute to it.

SALIVA & WATER NEED

I'd like to take you inside and look at a few body functions and how they're affected by dehydration So let's begin at the mouth. Did you know that in a state of chronic dehydration, too much saliva is produced. Some people think a dry mouth is a sign of dehydration. It is, and too much saliva can be a sign of dehydration. You see, we don't know when not enough water is going into the body and how much water should go in. Let's do an assessment of that. So our kidneys can show how much water should go in. We need to look at how much is coming out. So from our kidneys we urinate out a 1.5 litre loss. Now a litre is about the same as a quart. So I'm probably best, because I'm speaking to an American audience, to say quart loss. 1.5 quart loss. Out of the skin it can be .5 quart loss; out of the colon .3 quart loss; out of the lungs, over .2 quart loss. So that that equals 2.5 quart loss every day. So that's ten 8 oz glasses of water a day is lost out of the body. And we have no reserve tank on the back. The only water that's going in is the water we take in. So we should be drinking at least 2 quarts a day, or more if possible. The other half quart can come in your fruits and your vegetables, maybe your herb teas or vegetable juice through the day. So that's how much water we need.

DEHYDRATION & STOMACH WALL

And Doctor Batmanghelidj showed the first place that we feel that water loss. If we're not replacing the water, the body goes into a form of drought management and it releases a hormone to manage this drought, histamine. And if someone has an allergic response to something, what are they given?: antihistamines. You know the best antihistamine is just water. So the first place that water is taken from to try and maintain full blood volume in the veins and arteries is the lining of the stomach. We have a thick mucosal wall lining the stomach. And so, with too little water, now we've got a very thin mucosal wall. Now what's in that mucosal wall? There's sodium bicarbonate to neutralize any stomach acid that might try and get through and basically protect against stomach ulcers. So what is a stomach ulcer? It's basically a breakdown of the stomach lining. When we smell food and we start to chew food, hydrochloric acid is released and it connects with pepsinogen to release pepsin, which breaks down protein. But hydrochloric acid does something else. It's antifungal, antibacterial, and so it has the ability to wipe out these pathogens. And just as hydrochloric acid is going down and wiping these guys out, you have a big glass of water. And what does water do to hydrochloric acid? It dilutes it. So Helicobacter pylori is chomping away at the dead tissue and it goes, Oh, that was close, chomp chomp. When someone comes to me with Helicobacter pylori, one of the first things I do is increase their hydrochloric acid. Because if you increase the hydrochloric acid, remember what one of its roles is, antibacterial, anti yeast, antifungal. Now I'm not criticising the doctors that discovered that Helicobacter pylori causes stomach ulcer. It is there, it does play a role. But why is it there? Can you see that? And unfortunately. On the board that awards Nobel Prizes are representatives from the pharmaceutical company.

WATER FOR DIGESTION

I'm just giving you the basic Anatomy and Physiology. Dr. Batmanghelidj found the 1st place that we lose water is the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. He also found that if you go down the gastrointestinal tract, you come to the pancreas. And the pancreas releases two hormones into the blood to help balance blood sugar levels. That's your insulin and your glucagon. But if you're dehydrated, those hormones aren't being made as they should be. So for people that are dehydrated, that can be a contributing factor to diabetes. He also discovered that there are hormones released from the pancreas to finalize digestion, so there's pancreatic lipase to finalize fat digestion; there's pancreatic amylase that finalizes the starch digestion; there's trypsin and chymotrypsin that finalizes protein digestion. Now they're all made out of water. If you don't have enough water, your digestion will be compromised. At every stage water is needed for every body function. So no wonder he entitled his book. When a person has a symptom of disease, he says it must be one of The Body's Many Cries for Water. That's the title.

MANY DISEASES OF DEHYDRATION: HEADACHES, NEGATIVITY, ARTHRITIS, ASTHMA, DIABETES

Our brain cells shrink when they don't have enough water. Headaches are common when we don't have enough water. Negative thought patterns can develop when our brain cells don't have enough water. I can get my hand to open and close like that without pain, because around every joint there's fluid. And that fluid is synovial fluid and it is 99% water. In a state of dehydration the body can take some water from there to maintain full blood volume in the major arteries and veins. And so, if I have pain in there, maybe it's called arthritis, but actually maybe it's just a state of dehydration. Our eyeball moves around in water, so we need water at every single step. Also, our lungs. Now at the bottom of our lungs, I'll draw you a small picture of our lungs, so that you'll understand this. So here's our lungs here. That's one lung. Your trachea splits and comes down and then it splits again into little bronchioles. And then at the end of every bronchial there's looks like a little bunch of grapes, but they're alveoli. The alveoli is where the gaseous exchange takes place. Over every alveoli there's a little blood capillary network, where the oxygen is picked up from the alveoli and the blood drops the carbon dioxide and we breathe it out. In every alveoli there's a minuscule droplet of water and because of the surface tension of water, when you breathe out, that little alveoli collapses, which allows all the carbon dioxide or the majority of it to be breathed out, so that now, when you breathe in, you can breathe in more oxygen. In a state of dehydration, that little droplet of water is not as it should be, which means that alvioli doesn't totally collapse, when you breathe out, which means you can't get your full quota of oxygen. But what also happens to prevent the water loss, the body can start constricting all the little bronchioles, wo that we don't lose water. And so one of the signs of dehydration can be constricted breathing. The blood gets very thick in dehydration, our blood needs to be nice and thin. So the heart can pump it easily so that the little filtering units in our kidneys can can filter it with ease. So water is needed for every single body function.
