VITAMIN WATER - Drink Yourself Well. Luke EisenbergЧитать онлайн книгу.
is not remedied, the tongue swells strongly and delirium occurs. However, those who ensure optimal fluid intake throughout the day usually have no problems with this. If you do not necessarily want to drink vitamin water, you should look for vegetables and fruit containing pectin as well as foods rich in dietary fibres. They are able to bind water and then release it slowly through the intestines.
Electrolytes control our water balance in the organism, which is important for the bile, as well as for the stomach and intestinal fluid, the synovial fluid and also for the brain water. They are of great importance for almost all physical processes, as they are located inside and outside the body cells. By the way, our nervous system relies on electrolytes to pass on information and impulses. Through a balanced diet, sufficient minerals can be absorbed. They are found in fresh fruit and vegetables as well as wholemeal products. However, it is essential to prepare them gently, otherwise the valuable ingredients will be lost if vegetables are boiled too long, for example, or washed too long under the tap. By the way, desserts and white flour products contain virtually no minerals, which is why consumption of these foods should be limited. Vitamin water is therefore highly recommended, as it provides our organism with valuable nutrients and can therefore really prevent many diseases.
Why is water so important for the metabolism?
Water is, as is generally known, the source of life, and our body is NO exception. However, most people do not worry about their own drinking habits at all and only drink if they notice a pronounced feeling of thirst. For our organism, however, drinking is almost more important than eating. A human being can survive several weeks without food, but only a few days without fluid intake, since almost two thirds of our body consists of this vital element. Water is the means of transport for blood, sweat and also for urine. Also, it is a necessary solvent for most pulps. The body temperature is regulated by the water contained, by sweating and sweat. In order to maintain the liquid level, the constant losses must be regularly compensated by an optimal liquid supply, since we also excrete large quantities of it daily, without paying much attention to it. Part of our needs is covered by food, but it is far from enough on its own. It is not for nothing that the recommended amount of liquid is at least two litres of water a day. By the way, we only feel thirsty when there is already a fluid deficit!
A water loss of only two percent, of our body weight, can contribute to the fact that the efficiency is strongly impaired by it. We get thirsty when half a percent is already missing. Although our organism is able to compensate for a slight lack of water, this is very dangerous for our health in the long run. It leads to dry skin and dried out mucous membranes, which makes us much more susceptible to bacteria and viruses. A lack of fluids also leads to constipation, urinary infections and kidney problems. If we drink far too little, our body is also less supplied with blood, which can lead to a loss of brain performance and to concentration disorders. Lack of fluid in our body is not only expressed by thirst, but also by loss of appetite, dry mouth, headaches and nausea. Our organism sounds a clear alarm if it is not sufficiently supplied.
The water requirement is higher during heavy sweating, physical exertion, diarrhoea or vomiting, fever and also during a diet. However, older people in particular drink very little, as the feeling of thirst decreases significantly with age. In many cases, however, they simply forget to drink or are afraid of having to go to the toilet more often at night. The German Nutrition Society therefore recommends a dosage of 2.25 litres for older adults in particular, one third of which should be part of solid food. So dairy products, salads and also fruit. The other two thirds should be made up of suitable drinks, such as vitamin water or stomach-friendly teas.
The recommended amount must be distributed evenly throughout the day. Of course, not only in older adults, but of course in every age group. It is advisable to have a drink close to your eyes at work or at home so that you are really reminded of drinking. It should also be clear to everyone that a suitable drink belongs to every meal, as this makes the food easier to digest and our body also receives important additional fluids.
Our metabolism has to supply all body cells so that we really feel comfortable and so that toxins can be broken down and excreted. However, he can only work well if we provide him with the appropriate conditions for this. Metabolism is the process of processing everything we consume correctly and appropriately. The food is therefore first crushed by our metabolism and then sorted out according to its usability. The nutrients contained are distributed as required and transported to the cells. All substances that are not useful for our body must be excreted as quickly as possible in order to guarantee a good state of health. Our metabolism keeps our body functions going, supplies us with heat or energy and is involved in necessary regeneration processes. Also, the metabolism is with the main culprit whether we lose weight, gain weight or grow. A clumsy metabolism, for example, is the reason why some people gain weight very quickly and simply cannot lose weight with many diets or with exercise. A fast metabolism, on the other hand, is usually the case for particularly slim people who would like to put on a little more weight.
A disturbed metabolism can not only cause overweight and underweight, but also depression, rheumatism, diabetes mellitus, impaired thyroid functions and growth hormone deficiency. It is therefore very important to get the metabolism back under control in a natural way. This is possible through a change in diet, in which the metabolism is well supplied by proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as through physical activities and a lifestyle that is as stress-free as possible. But water is also ideal for stimulating the metabolism.
It is assumed that an adult loses more than two litres of water a day. This happens mainly through urine, through the skin and also through breathing. This large amount of liquid is an average value, which is why the recommended intake of liquid also corresponds to this value. In principle, every person must drink as much as he needs personally, since not every body or metabolism is comparable to another. Stress and sleep deprivation, as well as the absorption of toxic pollutants such as nicotine or alcohol, also require more fluids. Even with a high body weight it is clear that this organism is dependent on much more water than an underweight person.
It is recommended to drink a large glass of water before eating. This increases the energy turnover over a longer period of time. Additional calories can also be burned. If you can drink more than two litres of water a day without any problems, you can even lose weight "unintentionally". You should also be aware that you can support these effects with vitamin water from fruit and herbs, which is why we will explain the recipes in more detail in the following chapters.
Only with water is our organism able to excrete the absorbed pollutants every day. These are absorbed by environmental and home toxins, as well as, of course, by nutrition. The more harmful substances we absorb, the higher our water requirements. Unfavourable drinks for our metabolism are for example alcohol, coffee and black tea, soft drinks, sugary drinks, fruit concentrates or purchased fruit juices. Most fruit juices contain not only a lot of fructose, but also additional sugar. Fructose, by the way, is transformed much faster by our organism into fat than the normal household sugar. It also increases uric acid levels and the risk of diabetes. The typical lemonade and cola drinks also contain a lot of sugar and can cause serious health problems. If our metabolism is stimulated, then the storage of waste products and toxins is avoided. Slags, by the way, are the acids and toxins deposited in our body. They need to be neutralized so they don't burn our organs. Gout, for example, is the result of the deposition and slaging of uric acid. Slags are salts formed by our bodies, which are easily excreted through the kidneys, skin, lungs and intestines if they are in good health. If this is not the case, the diseases mentioned above occur.
Slags must therefore be removed from our bodies if we do not want to become ill. But they can also contribute to acidosis and thus to weakness of the connective tissue. In many women, the weakness of the connective tissue can be seen with pronounced dents on the buttocks and legs. If the connective tissue is not relieved, then understandably more and more slag accumulates over the years and the cellulite becomes much more intensive together with varicose veins. It is therefore also advisable in this respect to remove the metabolic waste products from our body in order to relieve our connective tissue, so that the skin is no longer as limp and wrinkled. Vitamin water is therefore not only ideal for detoxification, but also for our skin problems. The best thing to do is to get yourself a nice glass decanter,
