The mechanism of dehydration

The human body constantly feels the need in water. It loses water through the lungs when we breathe. It loses water with the daily urine and stool. The color of urine is a good indicator of the organism need in water.

Well-saturated water body provides colorless urine – if you do not take into account coloring components of your food. In the body on dehydrated person the urine is yellow. In the state of severe dehydration the person produces orange urine.

The scientists have always argued that the energy of the body provides with the food through education of acid (ATP) and the water was not taken into account. However, the water produces energy, forcing ionic proteins of cell membranes to work.

Water triggers the sodium-potassium «pump», making necessary energy for normal functioning of cell, which is the trigger off and exchange of intracellular.

It is the maintenance of acid-alkali balance which must be within 7, 4 is the neutral state between the acidic and alkaline medium body, indicating its normal operation.

The larger cell is dehydrated, the more it depends on the energy from food intake, which contributes to the accumulation of fat, and the body receives the energy from protein and starches consumption. Dry skin, wrinkles and other external manifestations – this is not an old age, but the lack of water in cells.

Water is not just a liquid, but the nutrient medium for the cells. Since dehydration initially reduced cellular fluid (66%), followed by extracellular (26%), and then the water is extracted from the bloodstream (8%).

This is made in order to provide water, primarily in the brain cells that must continually remove the toxic products, resulting from its activities. The brain contains 85% of water, and some data even up to 92%, and the loss of even 1% of which leads to irreversible consequences.
