CAFFEINATED DRINKS CAUSE DEHYDRATION

CAFFEINATED DRINKS CAUSE DEHYDRATION?

The hydrationist, Professor Armstrong from the University of Connecticut, talks about whether caffeinated drinks cause dehydration.





"It’s interesting that in the 1930’s there was a small study done on medical students that showed that when they consumed caffeinated drinks, their output of urine for a few hours increased. However, the researchers in that study did not investigate total body water and did not look at markers of hydration status. So, to counter that study, about eight years ago university students were studied in our laboratory in the United States. We looked at the question of what would happen if 500 mg of caffeine were consumed each day, or about half of that amount, roughly 250 mg. Or if 0 mg of caffeine were consumed each day. And indeed we found by looking at over 20 biomarkers of hydration state, that they were not dehydrated. This explains why we don’t see millions of people in emergency rooms of hospitals who are dehydrated because they consumed caffeinated beverages. So in my opinion, it is a myth that caffeinated drinks cause dehydration."

MYTH OR FACT? › THE WATER YOU GET FROM FOOD IS ENOUGH TO STAY HYDRATED

THE WATER YOU GET FROM FOOD IS ENOUGH TO STAY HYDRATED.

The hydration expert, Professor Kavouras from the University of Arkansas, tells you everything about the water intake you get from food and your hydration needs.

 Professor Kavouras :

"The Water we get from food rarely exceeds 20% of our total water intake. Even if your diet is extremely high in fruits and vegetables and soups you will rarely exceed probably 30 to 40% of your total water intake. So the answer is no, it is practically impossible to stay hydrated if you just wait to get your water from solid foods. So this is definitely a big myth.

"THE WATER YOU GET FROM FOOD IS ENOUGH TO STAY HYDRATED" IS A BIG MYTH.

Dispelling the Inflammation Myth.

I am going to dispel many myths on this wall for the benefits of many readers and this will be one of them.
Inflammation is routinely advertised as something bad for you. The TRUTH is that inflammation is a warning sign that the human body is trying to heal itself. It's key to survival.
Inflammation is a symptom - a sign of something else going on in the body that ushers the inflammatory response for help. Think of inflammation as our human body warring against harmful agents, an indication that the body is repairing itself. You would die without an inflammatory response. It is key to the immune system. It tells us our immune system is working. If we never had inflammation, there would be no action within the dynamic cellular immune system network to offer assistance with the body. Knowing this, it becomes clear that inflammation in a healthy body, when it is not an overreaction, chronic , or irreparable, really results in increased general health because of the repair process that's happening at the cellular level.
HERE IS a prime example to explain : when you accidentally cut your finger, the inflammation process begins , ultimately to spur the healing . Once the skin is healed , the inflammation goes away naturally. In the case of more serious forms of inflammation , such as heart disease , which results from a long-term smoldering of chronic internal inflammation, the same holds true. If you were to take care of the underlying cause of the heart disease -- high blood pressure or cholesterol, for example , brought on by a poor diet and lack of exercise - then the inflammation would go away, and so would the disease. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to "treat" inflammation.
You have to treat the CAUSES of inflammation. But treating all of the causes of aging is a mighty tall order . What if you could address what happens as a result of the aging process, and then essentially reverse-engineer the treatment? That's what the cellular support supplements RESERVE(TM) does. Because it offers a unifying theory that helps us make sense of the aging process, it tells us HOW TO SLOW IT DOWN - YOUTH SUSTAINABILITY , and in some cases REVERSE it -- from a singular focal point.
Regardless of what causes aging or disease or even wrinkles , the final common pathway is that there is a reduction in water in our tissues.
You can get amazing results when you eat RESERVE(TM) . Jeunesse's research focuses on adult stem cell technology, telomere support , DNA repair, and nutrigenomics.

Cholesterol is cholesterol.

Yes, cholesterol is cholesterol. How we had been duped for too long by the drug industry into believing there is a real thing as 'bad' cholesterol.

Term like "bad" cholesterol is a myth. What is a myth?
It is an idea or story that many people believe, but which is not true. A myth can be dispel.

1. It is being increasingly understood that the level of cholesterol in the body circulation is not affected by high egg diet. It is a medically published fact that an elderly man has for many years eaten about 24 eggs a day without any clinical significant rise in his cholesterol level. For a scientific explanation , you are read a simple article found at this link :
http://www.watercure.com/sci_myth.html

2.There is no such thing as bad cholesterol . There are only uninformed and ignorant ideas that are exploited commercially.

3.The next time you come across a person (doctors included) who talks about "bad cholesterol" being the cause of heart disease, ask him or her : "Is it not true that we measure the cholesterol levels in the body from blood that is drawn from a vein?"
[[ * vein -- a blood vessel that carries blood to the heart from other parts of your body; while artery --- a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of your body ]]
If it is true that the level of cholesterol is the cause of plagues and obstruction of the blood vessels, when a slower rate of blood flow would encourage further cholesterol deposits, then we should also get more blockage of veins of the human body. Since there is not a single scientific report of cholesterol deposits causing blockage of the veins, the assumption that cholesterol is "bad" and is the cause of heart disease is erroneous and unscientific. "Bad cholesterol" is a false science. It is a commercial to sell drugs and medical services. Some business strive and grow on false science.

4.Let me explain why we get cholesterol deposit in the arteries of the heart or the brain or even on the inner wall of the major arteries of the human body. Remember, when we say "dehydration" it really means concentrated , acidic blood. Acidic blood that is also concentrated pulls water out of the cells lining the arterial wall. At the same time, the fast rush of blood against the delicate cells lining the inner wall of the arteries, weakened by loss of their water and damaged by constant toxicity of concentrated blood, produces microscopic abrasions. Abrasion is the process of rubbing a surface very hard constantly so that it becomes damaged or disappears.

5. Another of the many functions of cholesterol is its use as a "waterproof dressing" to cover the damaged sites within the arterial membranes until they are repaired. Cholesterol acts as a "grease gauze" that protects the wall of the artery from rupturing and peeling off. When you look at cholesterol through this perspective, you will realize what a blessing it really is.

All the statistics about the level of cholesterol in the blood and the number of people who die of heart disease reflect the extent of the killer dehydration that has also caused the level of blood cholesterol to rise. (Health tip: always drink a glass of plain water half hour before your meal, so that the blood can be prevent from concentrated, and you have a better digestion later.)
Only after researched understanding of cholesterol's important role in the human body, I have no hesitation in recommending wholesome eggs, white and yolk, to all age groups, as a very good source of the essential dietary needs of the human body.

6. If you drink adequate amounts of water everyday (for every 1 kilogram of your body weight, drink at least 32.53 ml of plain water), take the required amount of salt (preferably sea-salt,never use refined salt) and walk at least 2 hours per day -- not on treadmill, but in the open air and under good sunlight -- your body will begin to adjust its own intake of proteins and carbohydrates, as well as its fats requirement to use for energy. Your need for proteins will increase. Your need for carbohydrates will decrease and your fat-burning enzymes (activated by walking/exercise) will consume more fat than is in the average diet.

Share your views on cholesterol and let's dispel the bad cholesterol's myth.
