You would
probably think that I was writing a lot of old rubbish, but please stay with
me, as I can assure you that it is very possible and there are many cases
reported worldwide to back up my statement.
A number of
medical experts recommend that everyone should drink eight glasses of water per
day, which is about two litres. This old chestnut has been pulled out of the
fire, so many times over the years, that no one really knows where the recommendation
came from in the first place, or what the benefits to your health would be, if
you followed this regime.
A survey
that was sponsored by large companies that sell bottled water, state that
everyone should consume between one and a half, to two litres per day, of
Natural Mineral Water, of course, makes you think, when they paid for the
survey.
There is a
lot of confusion about how much water should be taken daily, and when you look
around, you will see numerous people carrying their water bottles of natural
mineral water everywhere, probably more ladies than men.
Excessive
consumption of water can lead to a condition known as, Hyponatremia, which
means “water intoxication".
People are
encouraged to drink water for detoxing purposes, and yes, it does that very
well, it can flush most of the toxins out of your body, this is one of the
things that it is meant for, but, when you overdo it, the minerals and sodium
levels in the blood can become too low, because they are also being flushed out
of your system, this can lead to complications, coma and even death.
This
situation has often been seen in Athletes, especially runners when they
collapse on the track, this is frequently caused by a low level of sodium in
the athletes’ blood, and there are instances where it has had serious
consequences.
A young man
of 23 years of age was rushed to hospital, after going in to a coma, he was
diagnosed with Hyponatremia, his sodium levels was dangerously low, and his
brain was starting to swell, of course there is not much room available for the
brain to swell, because it is surrounded by the hard skull, this causes the
brain to be compressed and it does not like this one little bit.
Drinking
too much water can flush out the essential nutrients and minerals and if you
are drinking mineral water to excess, it can lead to high levels of calcium, magnesium or other minerals that is
in the water. Some of these minerals are needed, but not in excess quantities.
A large
number of water drinkers think that Natural Mineral Water is better for you
health than the ordinary water that is supplied by your local authority.
I have
written before about the dangerous concoction of chemicals that is put into the
water supply, Fluoride, Chlorine and goodness knows what else, but please
consider the following: Bottled water is frequently supplied in plastic
bottles, this can give bacteria a very good environment for breeding, the water
is sometimes taken from natural springs, no one knows what is in that water.
You will think that this natural mineral water would be fresh, but, when you
consider that it has been in the warehouse, before being shipped to the
supermarket, some of these waters come from various overseas countries, so by
the time you purchase the water off the supermarket shelf, it could be anywhere
up to two years old. Does that make you think?
My personal
way of having water is by the use of a rainwater tank, the rain comes from the
sky, falls on the roof picks up some dust and probably some bird droppings on
the way to the tank. I therefore recommend that the tank is cleaned out on a
timely basis, also that a quality filter is fitted in the supply line and that
the water is boiled before drinking
I use it
for drinking water, tea, coffee and for cooking purposes only.
Not all
local authorities will allow you to have a rainwater tank, but if they do, I
honestly feel that even though this is not perfect, it is the best quality
water that you are going to get. In today’s environment.
Look upon
drinking water as an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, rather than as
something that you have to do every day. Some days you will drink more than on
others, if its hot, you will want more, if its cold, you won’t be so keen and
it will depend on just how thirsty you feel and how hard you are physically
working.
My old
Grandmother always said to me. “Everything in moderation my boy" it is so true
about drinking the essential water and almost everything else that you do in
this life.
