The body of a new-born infant contains more than 80% water. The amount of water in the tissues lessens with advancing age. More than 60% of our body is made up of water.
Humans have lived 81 days without food‚ but they will die in 5 days without water. If a person loses just 5% of his total water‚ he will start to hallucinate‚ become disoriented‚ and experience twitching muscles. If he loses 15% of his total water‚ his life is endangered. A loss greater than 15% of body fluids may result in death.
Yet‚ the body has no water storage system to depend on in times of need.
The parts of the body that suffer most from dehydration are those without direct vascular circulation‚ such as the joint cartilages in fingers‚ knees‚ and vertebrae. Chronic pains are often indicators of chronic dehydration. When any of your joints begin to signal aching pains that come and go‚ the first thought that should occur to you is “My body is severely short of water.” Often‚ though‚ when the signs of water deficiency in joint cartilages are not recognized for what they indicate‚ painkillers are prescribed‚ frequently resulting in a dependence on addictive medication‚ and possible permanent results could be permanent damage to cartilage separation of the joint bones.
How much water should I drink and how do I know if I am drinking enough water?
Contrary to popular belief‚ thirst is not a good indicator. By the time you are thirsty‚
it means your body has already lost more than 3% of its water. If your urine is bright
yellow‚ you are drinking too little water. Ideally‚ your urine should be as light as
possible‚ almost colorless. Regular intake of water throughout the day is important
because when a huge amount of water is ingested‚ it is practically completely
eliminated by the kidneys in the succeeding few hours.
That is why‚ to meet your daily ration of water intake‚ a lot of water all at once
is not the solution. Drink one to two glasses of water every waking hour or so
throughout the day.
Drink more if you sweat much or the weather is hot. This will help your endurance.
Carry a supply with you. Upon rising‚ drink two glasses at room temperature
with a freshly squeezed lemon in it.
How about daily showers?
A burned victim who has had over 50% of the
skin function destroyed‚ has a lower chance for
survival‚ and his kidneys are placed under a
terrific load because of the loss of eliminative
assistance by the skin. The skin is considered
to play the role of a third kidney. The average
healthy person eliminates about 1 kg of waste
material daily through the pores of the skin!
People who engage in rigorous physical activity
eliminate an even greater amount.
It is important to keep the pores open
and clean by daily bathing.
Persons in health should on no account
neglect daily bathing. More so‚ those who are
not in good health have impurities in the blood.
The multitude of pores‚ or little mouths‚ through which the body breathes‚
become clogged and filled with waste matter‚ and the skin is not in a healthy condition.
The skin needs to be carefully and thoroughly cleansed‚ that the pores may do their
work in freeing the body from impurities. Feeble persons who are diseased surely
need the advantages and blessings of bathing daily.
Whether a person is sick or well‚ respiration is more free and easy if bathing is practiced.
By it‚ the muscles become more flexible‚ the mind and body are alike invigorated‚ the
intellect is made brighter‚ and every faculty becomes livelier. The bath is a soother of the
nerves. It promotes general perspiration‚ quickens the circulation‚ overcomes
obstructions in the system‚ and acts beneficially on the kidneys and urinary organs.
Bathing helps the bowels‚ stomach‚ and liver‚ giving energy and new life to each.
It also promotes digestion‚ and instead of the system being weakened‚
it is strengthened.
Instead of increasing the liability of cold‚ a bath‚ properly taken‚ fortifies against cold‚
because the circulation is improved‚ and the uterine organs‚ which are more or less
congested are relieved‚ for the blood is brought to the surface‚ and an easier and
regular flow of the blood through all the blood vessels is obtained.
Remember to always end your bath or shower with cold water‚ as this
strengthens the body whereas ending with warm or hot water weakens the body.
Should I use hydrotherapy (water treatments) when I am sick?
How effective is it?
The things of nature are God's blessings‚ provided to give health to the body‚ mind‚
and soul. They are given to the healthy to keep them healthy and to the sick to make
them healthy. Natural remedies with water treatment are more effective in restoring
health than all the drug medication in the world.
Take one hot bath a day‚ remain in the bath for 20 minutes; the temperature of the
water should be 110 degrees F‚ followed by a cold shower for 1-3 minutes.
Before each shower or bath‚ dry brush the skin with a stiff brush until the skin is rosy
and warmed. Brush stroking towards the heart region.
Having steam bath at home is excellent. Have a steam bath daily‚ or twice daily
in serious sicknesses‚ until you are recovered. Sit on a small stool‚ covered with a
blanket‚ from the neck to the feet. Place a basin of boiling water between your feet.
Replace the water as it cools‚ with more hot water.
Maintain this position for twenty minutes; end with a cold shower for 1-2 minutes.
