BEING TRULY HYDRATED CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
hydration[ hī-drā′shən ]: The process of providing an adequate amount of liquid to bodily tissues.
I believe that adequate hydration is the most important component of living long and living well.
The problem is that it is so harder to actually hydrate your body than most think. It's not just as simple as drinking water until your urine is clear. Your cells need a proper balance of sodium and potassium in order to easily pass fluid through the walls of the cell. The result of not having enough of either mineral is bloating or imbalance.
"About two-thirds of your body is composed of water, and a majority of that water — about 66 to 70 percent — is within your cells and lymph system. With age, your body tends to lose its ability to get water from the vasculature, the extracellular environment, to the inside of your cells. "If we could stay perfectly hydrated in the intracellular environment, our aging would slow down if not reverse," Bush says. The reason is because water is an important mechanism by which you remove toxins and naturally-produced oxidants from your body.

Your gut is an important part of the hydration cycle. The question is, how do you move water from the intestinal lining into your bloodstream and, more importantly, into your cells? As noted by Bush, when we talk about hydration, we're not simply talking about drinking enough water throughout the day but, more specifically, getting water inside your cells." Zach Bush MD
This is a very interesting interview with Zach Bush. He is such an interesting guy and has this deeper understanding of the universe than most people do. So, that being said, this article is a fun read ;-)
Here is what you can do today:
1. Take a terrahydrite humic compound such as Ion Gut Health by Zach Bush
2. Reduce EMF exposure- Try to keep your devices away away from your body or on airplane mode when not in use. You can also buy protective gear at Safe Sleeve.
3. Avoid Alcohol and other toxins such as pesticides and drugs
4. Drink water with electrolytes. Try Nun or Ola Loa Sport
5. Don't drink a lot of water with food as it decreases absorption of minerals
6. Do a hydration protocol: "When I’m going through a hydration protocol with my patients, for three days they’ll do an intensive hydration protocol where they’re drinking 4 ounces every 30 minutes. They’ll do that from about 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Then they’ll give their body a break. They can pee off what they need to before they go to sleep at 9:30 or 10 p.m. In that 12 hours of intense hydration every 30 minutes, every other [4-ounce dose] has electrolyte in it.” Zach Bush MD
