Water and "Inflammation" - What's the connection?


Okay . . . so yesterday I spoke about one of the easiest ways to calm the "inflammation" fire in the body . . . was to drink more "water" and stay "hydrated".


Well today . . . let's dig a little deeper and discover why . . .


So let me ask you this . . . Did you know that the brain is composed of 75% water???


Right there . . . drinking more water is a plus . . . because we all want to think a little clearer and maybe be a little "smarter". I know I do . . .


Another little unknown fact about drinking water is this . . .


Did you know that the amount of water we drink . . . regulates our POOP???


You see . . . the large intestine or colon . . . needs water to eliminate our waste and toxins from the body.


And if the body is "dehydrated" . . . we can't eliminate correctly.


Okay . . . so maybe you knew that . . .


But . . . did you know why???


Well . . . if the body is well "hydrated" . . . then some of that water is what flushes our stool from the body. This is how it's supposed to work


But if we're "dehydrated" . . . the intestines don't have enough water to flush our waste . . . therefore . . . the intestines pull water from other parts of the body to accomplish their mission.


And with this . . . either they pull too much water to the intestines and you now have diarrhea . . .


Or they can't find adequate water throughout the body and you now become constipated.
