Very few people understand the connection between water and energy, or water and health.
By Dr. Sharyn Wynters
They have no idea that water is one of their main sources of energy. In fact, it may be THE main source of energy when all factors are considered. Nothing happens in the human body without water. It is involved in every function that takes place.
When water is lacking, everything slows down. No wonder afternoon fatigue is rampant, and no wonder many people have difficulty concentrating later in the day. By the time afternoon rolls around, you’ve used up the pool of energy you accumulated while you slept, and as soon as you eat lunch, your body hits a crisis. That’s because digestion requires copious amounts of water.
If you are dehydrated (and most people are), eating an afternoon meal will sap your energy quickly. And yet, it’s not just about drinking enough water. There are a few things you can do to maximize water’s benefits and to experience more energy from the water you drink.
First of all, you need to understand that water functions in the body the same way a crystal functions in our solid-state technologies.
Water is capable of storing energy and information, just like crystals. It amplifies and transmits signals at the speed of light—unless toxins and wastes have corrupted its molecular organization. Most of the water on the planet today has been stripped of the qualities that allow it to hold and transmit energy with efficiency. That’s why drinking more water isn’t always the answer.
Water has to be delivered into your cells to participate in all the metabolic pathways that provide energy and the ability to function throughout the day. Water also has to enter your cells to participate in cellular cleansing.
If water lacks energy it simply follows the pathway through your organs of elimination and out your body. Here are six ways to augment your drinking water and to maximize its ability to get to your thirsty cells:
1. One of the simplest ways to return the property that allows water to store energy is to stir it within a magnetic field. This is the way the Earth cares for her water. The Earth pulses with tiny electromagnetic fields, the same way your body does. These fields return water’s life force as water moves. Place your water over a small magnet in a glass container. Stir the water for several minutes—in both directions. This allows water molecules to align and re-align within a magnetic field. It may sound over-simplistic but the New Science of Water is confirming this process. I use a little blender-type device called the Vitalizer Plus that does all this automatically.
2. If you drink distilled or reverse osmosis water, you need to add unprocessed salts to your water—just a tiny amount. Most people know that distilled water does not conduct energy. It is the salts (minerals in their ionized form) that conduct energy. They are vital for water to be able to hold energy. Put a pinch of Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan salt in your water before you stir it.
3. Stay away from electromagnetic fields when you drink water—never drink while at the computer. Unnatural electromagnetic fields affect you because they affect your body’s water. They “short out” the electrical potential at the cell membrane, which allows water to enter your cells. Staying away from unnatural electromagnetic fields is a good idea anyway, but especially when you drink water.
4. Exercise puts all your bodily fluids in motion. Whole-body movement (walking, swimming, Tai chi, etc.) pumps water into the tissues of your body. Drinking one glass of water 10 minutes before exercise will do more to hydrate your body than three or four times that amount when you are sedentary.
5. Avoid alkaline ionized water. There is a lot of hype in favor of alkaline water these days, but the truth is that your body responds to organically complexed minerals in the form of organic acids. The very best water contains minerals in this same form and the resulting water has a neutral or slightly acidic pH. Water from fresh springs contains carbonic and fulvic acids—not alkaline minerals without their acidic counterparts. One of the best things you can do is to squeeze a few drops of lemon in your water. Funny how some of the things we have instinctively done for a long time are in our best interest.
6. Drink water at key times. The best times to drink water are first thing in the morning and 10-15 minutes before each meal or exercise. These times are when your body needs water the most.
If you practice the above recommendations on a regular basis you might be surprised to discover you have more energy than you’ve had in a long time.
