Staying Healthy w/ Water - question

[Guest guest]

Hello Kat,

A definition of the word " factoid " from the site

doctoryourself.com Factoid is a fact that never

existed before it was printed.Where is the evidence

that distilled water totally absorbs the vitamins and

minerals that rapidly from the cells it touches? Thank

you,sheldon

DO WE RECEIVE OUR MINERALS

FROM DRINKING WATER?

Minerals are essential for the basic functions of the

human body to take place. They help to control bone

growth, regulate fluids, normalize nerve and muscle

functions, keep up metabolism, grow connective

tissues, and so much more.

 

However, a big misconception is that that we obtain

minerals from our drinking water. This is actually not

true because, in reality, the main source of minerals

is always from our food and diets, not from our

drinking water. Because in order to receive enough

minerals for our body, we need to drink a bathtub

amount of water everyday! Not very feasible. We are

sure that your doctor will not prescribe you a

" bathtub of water " if you are deficient in minerals,

right?

 

Therefore watch out for the water products which

claims that they can take out ALL of the bad

contaminants and leave you only the good stuff

(healthy minerals) in the water. There is no real

purification method that can be selective and leave

you only the " good " stuff. When filters leave you the

" good " stuff, they actually leave you " most " of the

stuff in the water. " Most of the stuff " meaning

besides calciums and magnesiums, they also leave you

pesticites and most chemicals. In this era of

pollution where water contains much more

disease-causing contaminants than beneficial minerals,

it makes sense that the water we drink should be as

pure and clean as possible.

 

So remember to eat healthy and enjoy a variety of

vegetables and grains everyday, and stay healthy the

natural way.

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

For your reference, below are the common minerals

which can be found in our natural water sources.

 

Magnesium

“Hard water” is indicative of the presence of higher

levels of magnesium. In certain areas, drinking water

actually contains 100% or more of the Recommended

Daily Allowance (RDA) for magnesium, which is around

300-400mg daily with levels varying according to

gender and age. The need for magnesium increases with

age as well as level of stress.

 

Magnesium controls muscle contraction, protein

metabolism, blood coagulation, and energy production,

among other vital tasks. Failure to take in enough

magnesium over time leads to high blood pressure and

osteoporosis.

 

That said, not only does this mineral aid in body

functions, it can also help prevent disease. Studies

show that magnesium in drinking water protects against

the deaths of patients with diabetes mellitus, and

prevents the development of cerebrovascular disease.

Magnesium also lowers the risk of fatality from acute

myocardial infarction (heart disease), particularly in

females. In high-risk patients, magnesium is

recommended to protect against gastric cancer.

 

Calcium

 

Areas with hard water are known to provide as much as

one-third of the RDA for calcium per eight glasses of

drinking water. Adults should consume 1000-1200 mg of

calcium per day. Sure, we think mostly of milk and

even orange juice to obtain this essential mineral,

but it can also be found in our water supply.

 

The human body needs calcium to develop strong teeth

and bones. With that, calcium can combat osteoporosis

and other bone disorders. It also helps in regulating

nerve transmission, blood coagulation, and muscle

contraction.

 

Calcium intake through water sources is shown to

protect against death from acute myocardial infarction

(heart disease), especially in women. It also protects

against rectal and gastric cancers.

 

Sodium

 

Sodium naturally occurs in water supplies in varying

amounts due to underground salt deposits and sea

water. It is also added to water supplies in some

areas to make it “soft” (or through home water

softeners), and used for water purification in the

form of sodium hypochlorite.

 

Necessary for transporting nutrients throughout the

body and balancing fluid levels, sodium is best known

for its negative effects—namely raising blood

pressure. So, those with high blood pressure may want

to avoid water with high levels of sodium. However,

in moderate amounts (under 3000 mg daily), sodium is

perfectly safe.

 

Fluoride

 

There has been some controversy about fluoride being

added to our water, more can be read about this debate

here.

 

While not absolutely necessary, fluoride is proven to

protect against cavities when consumed in moderate

amounts (under 4 mg/L). Fluoride is partially

responsible for the rapid decline in tooth decay seen

in the United States since the mid-1980s.

 

Special care should be taken when fluoride is ingested

by children—levels over 2 mg/L can damage developing

adult teeth before they break through the gums.

 

Most water systems add fluoride to their water

supplies, but not all; check with your local provider

for additive levels in your area.
