The Hidden Cause of Aches and Pains and All Natural Remedy for It

Dehydration is a hidden cause of many aches and pains including headaches, back pain, and arthritic pain. It can even contribute to injuries since even mild dehydration can negatively effect mental clarity, performance and productivity in sports and in life. Most people live in a chronic state of dehydration without even knowing it. In fact, 75% of Americans are actually dehydrated right now! This is because the majority of the beverages we consume like soda, coffee, milk, alcohol, sports drinks and even bottled waters can have an dehydrating effect on the body!


Dehydrating Effect of Most Liquids

How can water and other liquids be dehydrating, you ask? Your blood needs to stay at a pH of just under 7.4. If the pH of a beverage is below 7.0, it is considered acidic and thus steals valuable minerals and energy from the body in order to neutralize it, having a dehydrating instead of hydrating effect. Tap water is regulated by the government to be at least a 7.0, while the pH of milk is about a 6.0, the pH of most bottled waters is between 3.5 and 4.5, and sodas, sports drinks, coffee, and alcohol usually have a pH of between 3.5 and 2.0! The pH scale is a logarithmic scale which means the difference between each number is actually 10 times greater than the one before it.

Traditional Painkillers


There are a number of painkillers on the market. Unfortunately, all medication (with the exception of some natural and homeopathic remedies) have an acidifying effect on the body. This means that they contribute to an acidic environment which is the opposite of the alkaline environment our body thrives in. Continuous use of over the counter medications for pain relief can actually prolong the problem--by constantly flooding your body with dehydrating and acidifying substances, you are creating an environment where pain and discomfort is likely to occur!

Importance of Staying Hydrated


Staying hydrated can help relieve pain and prevent injuries or discomfort from occurring the first place. Studies have shown that if you have a headache and opt to drink a full glass of water instead of taking a painkiller, the water alone may get rid of the headache. Other studies have shown that arthritic and back pains have a root in inflammation, which may be alleviated and prevented by staying properly hydrated.

How Much Water Do You Need?

We naturally lose an average of two liters of water a day through urination, perspiration, breathing and defecation. It is recommended that we drink a minimum of half our body weight in ounces daily (more if you are active or live in a hot climate) in order to replace the fluids lost and to stay hydrated. But hydrating with the right kind of water is equally as important as drinking enough water.


What is the Best Kind of Water?

Alkaline ionized water hydrates up to six times better than conventional water due to its microclustered size which is more easily absorbed by the body. Unlike acidic liquids, alkaline ionized water nourishes the body by providing bioavailable alkaline minerals instead of robbing the body of minerals. Alkaline ionized water also contains more antioxidants than orange juice, and has the ability to soothe inflammation of many kinds from the inside out. Alkaline ionized water can be produced in your home by hooking a Chanson water ionizer up to your faucet. The machine will allow you to make various pH levels of water, but the optimal drinking level of 9.5 pH supports overall wellness in a way that conventional waters cannot.

All-Natural Topical Pain Relief


In addition to hydrating the body with alkaline ionized water which may help prevent and alleviate pain, a topical application of high alkaline water often provides temporary pain relief. Strong alkaline ionized water neutralizes inflammation in the muscle and reduces oxidation which is a byproduct of inflammation. Just soak a rag in 10+ pH alkaline ionized water from a Chanson Water ionizer and apply to the sore area for a non-addictive, all natural remedy. With this remedy, you may no longer have to worry about the possibility of chemical dependency on over-the-counter and prescription painkillers or the effects those chemicals may have on your body.

2012 is the Year of the Water Dragon

January 23, 2012 marked the beginning of the year of the water dragon according to Chinese astrology, a time which only occurs every 60 years.

Dragons are a symbol of good fortune, and are the most revered of the 12 animals honored in Chinese astrology, and the only mythical animal featured. Throughout history parents in China have actually hoped and aimed to have their children born in dragon years (every 12 years).

As a Christian company, we at Healing Water Machines are not followers of astrology but thought some of our readers might find this interesting (plus we wanted an excuse to use the cool graphic above). We are of course most intrigued by the water part--an element which is featured every five years. Water is the source of life: it covers 70% of our planet and comprises 60%-70% of our bodies. In Chinese element theory, water produces wood, which signifies growth and is the natural element of the dragon.

The last time the Water Dragon made an appearance was in the year 1952. Major world events in 1952 included the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, the introduction of two of the most destructive weapons in history: the hydrogen bomb and the B-52 bomber, the first successful separation of Siamese twins, and a killer fog which descended on London and coined the word "smog." So it will be interesting to see what 2012 will bring, especially with a pending US presidential election and of course all of the Mayan calendar end-of-the-world hype.
