Hydration
The Human body is about 75 percent water and 25 percent solid matter.
The Brain is said to be 85 percent water and is extremely sensitive to any dehydration or depletion of its water content.
Thinking that tea, coffee, alcohol and manufactured beverages can substitute for the pure natural needs of the body is an elementary mistake, particularly in a body stressed by confronting daily problems. It is true that these beverages contain water, but most of them also contain dehydrating substances, such as caffeine.
When you drink coffee, tea or even beer, your body gets rid of more water than is contained in the drink.
When the human body is dehydrated, it redistributes and regulates the amount of available water.
Within the body, alarm signal to show that areas in question are in short supply, much like the light signal that goes on when car is running low on gas or oil.
The available water is rationed and used where needed. The presence of water will ultimately regulate the production mechanism in a drought-stricken area in the body.
When chronic dehydration begins to set in, up to a certain level the shutdown of water-dependent functions is silent because there is a reserve capacity for endurance.
As times passes and the body becomes more and more dehydrated, however, a threshold is reached where the system becomes inadequate for responsibilities thrust on one or another function of the body.
