Staying Healthy w/ Water - question

[Guest guest]

I'm sure there are reasons why people get the idea

that too much water is bad for you. One is because if

you do drink a lot of water immediately before or

during heavy exertion you can have problems. Have you

ever noticed that marathon runners, when given a cup

of water while running will take a small swallow then

throw the rest on the face? That is because they

realize that during heavy exertion the kidneys stop

functioning, so if you flood the body with water right

before or during heavy exercise it tends to thin your

blood and cause hyponatremia, which can cause you to

collapse.

 

Another reason people may think that is the TYPE of

water one drinks. I know some people say distilled

water is a good cleanser, but distilled water should

never be ingested, especially in large amounts.

Distilled water is like a magnet, pulling things out

of the cells - good and bad things. It may be good at

pulling toxins out of the cells, but it may also

explode the cell while doing it, not a good thing.

The problem with distilled water was very clearly

shown me a few months ago when I told a friend of mine

with environmental illness that she really needed to

increase her water intake before seeing a doctor I had

referred her to. She did just what I told her but

told me she got a massive headache that hurt clear

down into her shoulders. On further questioning, I

found out that she had switched to drinking distilled

water when she upped the intake...she got off the

distilled water and the pain dissipated.

 

We are in such a toxic world today that we do need to

drink water, a lot of it, to maintain health. As the

saying goes, " The solution to pollution is dilution, "

and plain ordinary filtered water is by far the best

drink for your body (in my opinion).
