The Process and Effects of Human Body Dehydration

Most people have experienced the dry mouth or slight twinge of a headache that usually signals the need for fresh water, but few people are aware of the actual process that takes us to the point of dehydration. It all starts with the hypothalamus, the gland responsible for a number of functions, including:
~ Hormone production.
~ Body temperature regulation.
~ Constant evaluation and maintenance of the human body's fluid balance.


  All three of these functions play roles in the process of keeping the body hydrated. When the hypothalamus detects too little water in the blood, it signals to the pituitary gland to release an anti-diuretic hormone (ADH).





The ADH signals the kidneys to minimize their process of removing water from the blood while returning as much fluid as possible into the bloodstream. Once the kidneys pump the brakes on water extraction and instead focus on returning water content to the blood, the need to urine lessens and urine becomes more concentrated, thus the darker yellow hue that is a common indicator of dehydration. Once this process has reached a point where the blood volume is adversely affected, the brain signals thirst, and you feel the urge to drink water. Note that the first thirst signal was triggered when the body is already 2 percent dehydrated. If the process is prolonged, when you do not drink any fresh water right away, the percentage of water in the blood drops, leading to a reduced blood volume, this in turn leads to a drop in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate, both of which are detrimental to all of the cells, as well as the organs and systems throughout the human body.
As the process of becoming dehydrated continues to pile stress on the cardiovascular system, the supply and delivery to the brain is reduced, resulting in headaches, fatigue, inability to concentrate, sleepy, and fluctuations in mood. Once enough fresh water is consumed, though, the body is able to replenish the blood, cells, organs, and systems with the hydration they require, the human body can function as intended again.

Our Diet Decides ....

...our health and wealth destiny is a simple yet profound saying, since the early human civilisation. Health is wealth, as the old adage goes. And the way to amass such wealth is to eat wisely, choosing the nourishing foods that nature offers so abundantly.

I suppose many readers are annoyed by taking medicines when you get ill. Some such medicines are very peculiar, particularly those decoctions made from herbal compounds which are both bitter, hot, sour and puckery, and some of the tastes are so strange that one cannot tell what they are! Latest modern drugs ,for instance, in chemo treatment, are in fact poison inherently. However, for the sake of treatment, what else can one do but pinch his nose and swallow it down. If only more doctors worldwide learn about the DNA of healing.

Things might be even worse when your sick child is not obedient during the health crisis. He (or she) might run off as soon as he sees the medicine. That's natural self defence instinct response from the body. What then can you do? You have to seize him (or her), constrain him to open his mouth, and pour the medicine down his throat by pinching nostrils. Unfortunately, if the process is not properly handled, liquid may escape down the trachea causing even more complications. And all members who involved in this episode of health crisis will always remember that it was never a humane way to live with.

How nice it would be if the decoction to be taken could be made of foodstuff or taste like food! In fact, there is a simple instruction to follow this wisdom for the rest of your life :"Every herb bearing seed, and every fruit of a tree bearing seed; to you it shall be for sustenance. " For all the nutrients that is needed for the body's longevity and integrity are all well balanced and compacted in them, in every aspect of the energy, water and waste management in the most efficient manner.

In natural bio-chemistry world, no cooking is involved, for nature uses the chemistry "curing" method to mature the foodstuff and metabolism for the nutrients digestion, assimilation and excretion in the human body. The various types of energies in natural food are passed to the body upon consumption, the natural distilled water in the fresh raw food is sufficient in quantity and quality to achieve the complete cycle of digestion, assimilation and excretion without depleting the human body's inherent energy reservoir. Now, the science of raw food confirmed the actuality behind the curing of cancer patients after their diet were changed from "cooked version" to natural raw version. In fact, every cooked meal triggered the body's immunity system due to the subtle altered state of the natural nutrients, which can be tested by measuring and analysing the increased amount of white blood cells produced after each cooked-meal.
NOTE: White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as hematopoietic stem cells. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system.

Dietary lifestyle or daily normal natural eating is really the eating aspect in preventive health measures, which also embrace adequate rest, recreation and healthy lifestyle.

In the wake of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), the basics of health maintenance is again emphasised - eating well and wisely to build a strong immunity against illnesses and diseases.

There are many world cultures, the Chinese is one of them, with their long tradition of herbs and tonics, have handed down everyday knowledge of food therapy to promote natural health and wise longevity in an inexpensive way. Bama Yao Autonomous County is a county in Guangxi, China. It is under the administration of Hechi City. The residents of Bama County have a reputation for longevity, and Bama has been the focus of studies from geriatricians nationwide.

Food contains the various nutrients which provide the energy supply for the body's growth and activities. The old saying that "Food is the Number One need for the people" reflects the utmost importance of food in daily life.

Natural nutrients are essential for people during illness to overcome pathogenic factors and repair tissue damage, and to resist and prevent diseases while in good health.

The science and art of dietary or eating roughly includes the following :
1.Firstly, investigating the nature of food for preventing and treating diseases. In this sense, food itself is a remedy. For instance, in scurvy, a disease due to vitamin C deficiency, the eating of fresh oranges, tangerines, guava, apples, or other fruits which are richer in vitamin C is helpful. Bearing in mind that vitamin C alone will no work, but with all other traces of biodiversity of nano-nutrients which comes natural, all of them work synergistically for the balanced-wellness of the body, mind and spirit. The present popular "single vitamin C supplement" will not work in actuality. The same goes for those processed "vitamins enriched fruit drinks or juices so-called" found on supermarkets shelves. Why shortchanged your body ?
Again, garlic behaves both as a food and as a remedy for bacillary dysentery. It is because of the habit f not including this humble garlic nutrients in one's diet, many cases of stomach disease had increased among the urban folks, young and old. The odour of garlic also play a vital part to the body's nerves and immunity systems.

2.Secondly, investigating curative effects achieved by carefully selecting certain kinds of drug and adding them to food to complement each other.
