Most of us don't recognize the crucial value of cellular hydration in regards to anti-aging
and how important it is to our wellbeing to drink the right
kind of water. Doctors usually say, “Drink plenty of water
or you will become dehydrated”. However, it is important to
make the distinction between the intercellular water
(or water around the cells), and the intercellular water (or
water inside the cells themselves).
Effects of Cellular Dehydration:
Research in the field of cellular hydration has shown that
when the cell hydrates and swells up, it triggers an
anabolic (building up) mechanism in the body, which is a
healing mechanism. It is accompanied by positive nitrogen
balance, protein synthesis, and growth hormone release,
equivalent to useful levels even in older people. Cellular
hydration also results in a reduction of cell acidity,
reduced autoimmune response, increased fat burning, DNA
repair, and increased resistance to viruses.
When cells become dehydrated, it triggers a
catabolic state (tearing down) accompanied by muscle
wasting, cell hypoxia (oxygen starvation), DNA damage, and
accelerated aging. As a result the cell becomes more
sensitive to free radicals and more susceptible to viruses
and autoimmune diseases. Virtually all symptoms of aging are
the result of cellular dehydration accompanied by free
radical damage.
Cell Damage: Most scientists
accept the free radical theory of aging. The free radicals
in our bodies damage our cells and the DNA replication
process so our cells don't replicate properly. They
replicate in a damaged way and our bodies deteriorate more
and more as we grow older, until we eventually die as a
result. Some older people die of things like common colds
because their immune systems have been so badly damaged by
free radicals over a lifetime.
The Importance of Intracellular
Hydration: Since cellular dehydration contributes to
cell damage it's important to find a way to keep those cells
hydrated. One way of doing this is by reducing the surface
tension of the water we drink. Drinking water that has a
high surface tension, like tap water, does not really
contribute to intracellular hydration. The water around your
cells will be there but it does not necessarily go inside
the them. In order for the cell to acquire the proper
hydration, the surface tension of that drinking water should
be lower than the surface tension of the cell wall. When you
drink the right kind of water, at the proper surface
tension, then the water can actually get inside the cell.
Making Water Wetter: One
product that actually does this is
HydraCel™. Each drop of
HydraCel™ has over 20 million spherical catalytic
particles in it. These particles attract water molecules by
electrical action which reduces the surface tension, making
ordinary water wetter. It creates a surface tension that is
similar to the surface tension in the cell.
Another way to prevent cellular deterioration
is by neutralizing free radicals. A product with similar
properties plus huge antioxidant advantages which helps in
neutralizing cell damaging free radicals is
Microhydrin™.
The type of water you drink may be one of the
most important things that you can do for your body. You
want to be in a state where your cells are constantly
hydrated, not dehydrated. If your cells are hydrated, your
body is in a very neutral condition and your cells can
repair themselves.
