*13 Symptoms of Chronic Dehydration*

 

Adapted from *The Water Prescription, * by Christopher Vasey, N.D.

(Inner Traditions 2006).

 

Most people don't think they need to worry about dehydration. To

them, dehydration is something that happens to travelers in the

desert when they run out of water. But there is a chronic form of

dehydration that does not have the sudden and intense nature of the

acute form. Chronic dehydration is widespread in the present day and

affects everyone who is not drinking enough liquid.

 

This list of 13 symptoms will inspire you to go get a glass of

water, and then another, and another. . . :

 

After each symptom we will show how lack of fluid affects the issue.

 

1. Fatigue, Energy Loss: Dehydration of the tissues causes enzymatic

activity to slow down.

 

2. Constipation: When chewed food enters the colon, it contains too

much liquid to allow stools to form properly, and the wall of the

colon reduces it. In chronic dehydration, the colon takes too much

water to give to other parts of the body.

 

3. Digestive Disorders: In chronic dehydration, the secretion of

digestive juices are less.

 

4. High and Low Blood Pressure: The body's blood volume is not

enough to completely fill the entire set of arteries, veins, and

capillaries.

 

5. Gastritis, Stomach Ulcers: To protect its mucous membranes from

being destroyed by the acidic digestive fluid it produces, the

stomach secretes a layer of mucus.

 

6. Respiratory Troubles: The mucous membranes of the respiratory

region are slightly moist to protect the respiratory tract from

substances that might be present in inhaled air.

 

7. Acid-Alkaline Imbalance: Dehydration activates an enzymatic

slowdown producing acidification.

 

8. Excess Weight and Obesity: We may overeat because we crave foods

rich in water. Thirst is often confused with hunger.

 

9. Eczema: Your body needs enough moisture to sweat 20 to 24 ounces

of water, the amount necessary to dilute toxins so they do not

irritate the skin.

 

10. Cholesterol: When dehydration causes too much liquid to be

removed from inside the cells, the body tries to stop this loss by

producing more cholesterol.

 

11. Cystitis, Urinary Infections: If toxins contained in urine are

insufficiently diluted, they attack the urinary mucous membranes.

 

12. Rheumatism: Dehydration abnormally increases the concentration

of toxins in the blood and cellular fluids, and the pains increase

in proportion to the concentration of the toxins.

 

13. Premature Aging: The body of a newborn child is composed of 80

percent liquid, but this percentage declines to no more than 70

percent in an adult and continues to decline with age.

 

Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words.

Keep your words positive, because your words become your behavior.

Keep your behavior positive, because your behavior becomes your

habits.

Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values.

Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.
