The relationship between water and health should arouse everyone's attention; the knowledge of water is not only the health knowledge that every modern person must master, but also the basic knowledge of life. Water, the most important nutrient forgotten...

Water is the most abundant component in the human body. It also digests food and transmits nutrients to various tissues; excretes body waste, circulates body fluids (such as blood and lymph), lubricates joints and various internal organs (to keep them moist, so that substances can pass through cells). And blood vessels) and necessary to regulate body temperature. Water is a part of the blood system that contains dissolved minerals. It is like dissolved calcium and magnesium, which is needed for human tissues to maintain health.

Most people have heard, read or experienced these functions of water, but it is ridiculous that most of us suffer from dehydration. We only think that we need enough water when we feel dry mouth. This medical misunderstanding leads to Extensive, chronic dehydration, and many health problems that follow. The book "The Human Body's Call for Water" written by Doctor Feereydoon Batmanghelidj, discusses in detail the physiological importance of forgotten water and many signs of dehydration.

When there is sufficient water, the viscosity of the blood, the cartilage tissue of the joints, the blood capillaries, the digestive system, the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy system and the spine all work normally and efficiently. However, when water consumption is restricted, the body will invade some parts to protect different tissues and organs, which can cause pain, tissue damage and various health problems.

 

When sufficient water is taken in, some health problems can be resolved or reduced, such as asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, headaches, migraines, back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, angina pectoris, and interval claudication (such as Cramps caused by insufficient blood supply).

 

The incidence of gout is increasing, and its pathogenic factors are very clear. It is due to the increase in the level of uric acid in the body and the deposition of urate crystals in the tissues, which induces acute arthritis. Uric acid in the human body is mainly excreted through the kidneys, accounting for 2/3 of the total excretion. Drinking a lot of water can shorten the duration of gout attacks, reduce symptoms, and ensure that the kidneys and ureters are washed away, and stones are not easy to form, which protects the kidneys.

 

As people get older, people lose the feeling of thirst and gradually develop chronic dehydration. This makes us often confuse the two feelings of hunger and thirst, eating without drinking water, on the contrary, gaining weight.

Today's water quality-determines tomorrow's physique

 

Impurities in drinking water include: large particles such as silt and rust; residual chlorine; bacteria; heavy metals; ... These are always invisible to our bodies and corroding our health!

 

Rust-the undercover killer of the liver

 

1. Urban construction experts announced that the most direct cause of water pollution is precisely the accumulated rust in the entrance section of the tap water pipeline.

 

2. Experiments have proved that the main cause of human liver disease incidence is iron oxide in drinking water. Too much iron oxide can cause great damage to human liver.

 

The harm of residual chlorine

 

1. The tap water is mostly disinfected with chlorine gas, and the existence of chloroform, chloroform and other disinfection by-products have a huge risk of causing cancer.

 

2. The Japanese professor Jin Yi-male found through a lot of experiments that the residual chlorine in tap water will destroy the vitamins of vegetables and fruits, and enter the body through the skin. Excessive chlorine for a long time will erode our skin and greatly increase the risk of cancer in the body. rate.

The hazards of heavy metals

Mercury: It sinks directly into the liver after ingestion, causing great damage to the brain, nerves, and vision. Natural water contains 0.01 mg per liter of water, which can lead to human poisoning.

Cadmium: Causes high blood pressure, causes cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; destroys bones, liver and kidney, and causes kidney failure. The International Cancer Research Center is classified as carcinogen group 2A. Long-term low-level cadmium pollution affects the normal function development of kidneys, bones, and immunity, and damages children's and adolescents' advanced neurological activities such as learning and memory.

Lead: It is a kind of heavy metal pollution that is more toxic, once it enters the human body, it will be difficult to eliminate. It can directly damage human brain cells, especially the nervous system of the fetus, and can cause congenital mental retardation. The International Cancer Research Center is classified as carcinogen group 2B.

Lead pollution in water is serious. After children ingest lead, 40% is absorbed, while adults only absorb 10%. Lead pollution affects children's development, especially brain development, and makes children's intelligence quotient drop, causing irreversible damage to children's development.
