Water - your health depends on it. Getting the right water in the right amount with enough safe salt creates optimal health.
Your body is electromagnetic. What do you need to conduct the messages from one neuron to the next? You need salt and water. That is what your body is , 75% water. In fact, your brain is 85% water. So think about this for a moment - your brain takes up about 1/50 of the whole mass of your body. And yet it uses 1/5 of the water you take in.
Now what does that tell you about water and mental functioning? Have you noticed how many people, surprisingly some of them are only in their twenties, joke about their senior moments, or their brain fog, or what they forget?
Chances are it is dehydration. Most people are short about two quarts of water. Most people think about drinking when they are thirsty. By the time you are thirsty, you may already be dangerously dehydrated.
Now how is a message going to be passed accurately from cell to cell if the water is not there, and if the salt is not in the water? Think about that one for a moment. It cannot happen.
Your body needs water. How much water? It needs sufficient water it can assimilate and use. Your body requires water equal to half your body weight - in fluid ounces not pounds. So a person who weighs 100 pounds needs 100/2=50 ounces of water daily - spread over the course of the day. If you drink either alcohol or caffeine you need to add an additional 2 glasses of water to counter the dehydrating affects of each.
If you have the right kind of water, at the right pH with the right amount of oxygen, you do yourself a big favor in prevention because you are less likely to get sick, get hurt, or develop emotional conditions as easily or as seriously as you will if you fail to consume enough water and salt.
You need salt. Himalayan pink salt is optimal. Avoid sea salt as its high plastic content is unsafe
You can dramatically improve many aspects of your health simply by changing your water-consumption habits.
