Drink plenty of water

There are many reasons to drink a lot of water. In fact, water (both simple and in the form of other liquids or food) is necessary for health.

If the water intake does not correspond to the loss of fluids, one risks dehydration. Fluid loss is more common in warm climates, intense physical activity, at high altitudes and in the elderly (who are usually not very thirsty).
The water must be drinkable, i.e. it must not contain any substances that are hazardous to health.
Ozonated water is safer because ozone has an antibacterial effect.

You should drink plenty of water for the following reasons:

1. Drinking water helps maintain the balance of body fluids. The body consists of about 80% water. The functions of these body fluids include:

• Digestion
• Absorption of nutrients
• Circulation
• Saliva production
• Nutrient transport
• Maintaining body temperature

The brain communicates with the kidneys via the pituitary gland, signaling how much water to excrete in the form of urine or how much water to retain.
If the body has little fluid, the brain sends a feeling of thirst.
One should drink water or fresh fruit juice without sugar and avoid milk or coffee and especially alcohol.
Alcohol disrupts communication between th kidney and the brain and causes excessive secretion of fluids, which can cause dehydration.

2. Water can contribute to weight loss. Replacing high-calorie drinks with water reduces calorie intake and helps to lose weight.
Sparkling water (carbonated) dilates the walls of the stomach and gives a feeling of satiety. In any case, you should drink water when you are hungry. This reduces appetite.
After vomiting, you should first drink water. If this does not cause any problems, you can try to eat solid food.
If you have diarrhea, you should drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

3. Lowers blood pressure and reduces water retention or swollen legs (because it dilutes the concentration of sodium in the blood).

Attention: You should not drink very cold water (even quickly), because this can lead to congestion and block digestion.

There is an expiration date on the bottles. In fact, however, water in a glass bottle lasts much longer. It is dangerous to store water in plastic containers, especially if they are exposed to sunlight and heat, because plastic can release harmful substances to the liquid.

How much water should you drink daily?

Studies have shown various data. In fact, the amount of water depends on many factors, such as health, physical activity and the place where you live.

Every day you lose water through breathing, sweating, urinary excretion and feces. For the body to function properly, it must receive enough fluids, which is achieved by drinking enough and eating water-containing foods.
Men should drink a lot, at least 2 liters a day.
You should start drinking in the morning after waking up and continue until the evening. It is better to drink less with meals to prevent dilution of gastric juice and thus slow down digestion.
About 1 hour before bedtime, you should stop drinking, so that the night sleep is not interrupted by the urine stimulation.
Some people think that you should not drink anything before blood or urine tests. In fact, however, this does not affect the results of the investigation.

Water poisoning

The human body has a mechanism for regulating the balance of fluids and electrolytes (such as calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc.).

• The kidneys are the organs that ensure the balance of fluids and electrolytes.
• Sodium plays a fundamental role in regulating the balance of fluids.

Water poisoning is a condition in which the concentration of sodium in the blood drops because the person drinks too much water.

Symptoms and consequences

• The most common symptoms of water intoxication are nausea and vomiting.
• The affected person may suffer from weakness, fatigue and restlessness.
• Swelling.
• Confusion and disorientation.
• Muscle spasms.
• In extreme cases, seizures, coma, respiratory arrest and even death can occur.

Distilled drinking water

Distilled water is drinkable. It is made by removing solid impurities from the water. However, it also removes valuable minerals that are necessary for the organism.

A counter-argument is that the amount of minerals in the water is very small and the diet should sufficiently supplement the minerals.
Another small drawback is the lack of taste that we are used to.
This can be remedied by adding a lot of mineral salts necessary to maintain health and taste.Tap water

Tap water is relatively calcareous, but this is not a problem, because mineral salts (especially calcium and magnesium) are useful for humans.

In about 85% of the territory of the United States, water contains arsenic.
This substance can cause cancer and many other diseases, such as high blood pressure (arterial hypertension), behavioral disorders in children, low IQ and reproductive disorders, as well as diseases of the central nervous system.
Tap water purification methods in the U.S. are so antiquated that tap water can pose serious risks to public health.
Fluoridated water is still common in the United States, while it is banned in much of Europe.
This water causes cancer and sterility.
It has been discovered that most tap water flows through lead pipes that are more than 100 years old. So it can contain large amounts of toxins and pollutants.

Health benefits from drinking water with the addition of oxygen

Water with an increased amount of oxygen for drinking is not the oxygenated water from the pharmacy (which is used to disinfect wounds). This would lead to internal injuries.

Effects on the organism:

1. Reduction of lactic acidosis
   Lactic acidosis is a disorder in which there is an excessive accumulation of lactic acid (a byproduct of anaerobic respiration) in the blood and a marked reduction in oxygen levels. In order to significantly reduce lactic acidosis and increase oxygen uptake, it is recommended to drink water with the addition of oxygen during physical training. This oxygenated water delays anaerobic respiration during exercise and helps increase performance.
2. Natural increase in immune defense
   When you drink oxygen-enriched water, the body basically has an oxygen-rich environment. Such an environment provides good growth conditions for immunoglobulins, mainly IgG and IgM.

• Rehabilitation in the water
• Hypertonic and hypotonic dehydration
• Loss of appetite during pregnancy and old age
