Hydration Tips for Seniors

"Hydration: this is a critical issue that we have to deal with, since 90% of our body is water. Water is essential for every single process that takes place within the body. The water that we consume determines the pH of our body. Now it's a known fact, research has proven that an alkaline body resists disease. An acid body provides a haven for disease. So, if you find somebody that's kind of sickly, normally if you take the pH of their body, you will usually find that they're acidic. I?m saying that we need to choose the right water. We want to drink alkaline water. Now, you've got to go out and find alkaline water because an alkaline body resists disease. Now the next thing: most of the water that's available out there, the molecules are in big clusters, and this is a problem. We need a water that has small cluster-type molecules, so it can diffuse through the walls of our system and goes to where it's needed. One more thing that's really important to note here is that whenever the body is dehydrated, it always takes water from the colon. What happens then? Well, we have a silent killer on our hands today: it's called colon cancer. Because the colon is unable to cleanse itself when it's been deprived of water. So, this is one of the critical reasons why we need to hydrate. We need to give the body plenty of water and we need alkaline water. This is an indicator: it indicates the integrity of the plastic. The rating is from one to seven. A one means that we're drinking toxic chemicals that's leaking from the plastic because the plastic is unstable. Now, the best bottle to drink from is one that has a 7 in the triangle. Of course, the next best thing is glass, but it's important to make sure that our drinking water is a 7."
