Dehydration and the Importance of Water

There is a Dehydration epidemic! Freshly Squeezed Water Explain:

Most people are chronically and dangerously dehydrated. This is because they do not drink enough water. Instead they drink dehydrating fluids that most people deem more palatable or pleasant than water, like coffee, tea, cordials, fizzy drinks or alcohol. The causes of the resultant diseases are generally not identified my medical practitioners – so they are often treated completely unnecessarily with drugs which bring with them a whole range of side effects.

(See a BBC News report about the side effects of drugs, and an article about it from Jay Cohen, a prominent US medical practitioner.)

How to Avoid Dehydration

To avoid dehydration, adults should drink 2 to 3 litres of fresh, clean water every day, and minimise the consumption of dehydrating fluids. Avoid drinking during and within 30 minutes of meals. Drink more if you are exercising or sick.

Tap water generally contains many contaminants and should be filtered by reverse osmosis (see which water) to remove fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, hormones and other contaminants. Bottled water is of variable quality and may become contaminated with oestrogen-rich plasticisers from plastic bottles.

Use RO water for all cooking needs too, to avoid concentrating the chemicals in water in your food.
