A dry skin is one of the signs of an aging body. As we
get old, skin lose sebum, and in turn, lose moisture. Drinking plenty of water
is imperative for someone who wants to slow down the signs of aging such as dry
skin. Any doctor would say we have to drink at least 8 glasses of water each
day. But most of them did not mention what kind of water we should drink. And I
guess we ought to know.
What
does water do?
Water cleanses our body. It promotes the efficiency of
blood circulation to help expel the toxins out of the body. Water aids the body
in swilling out waste from particular cells, keeping them in good state. While
it carries away toxins from the skin, water also transports necessary vitamins
and minerals into individual cells.
The
need to rehydrate skin
Water comprises 70% of our body. Skin, being the
largest organ, has a lot of water in it. But the body consumes and expels lots
of water in a day. Because of this, our skin needs regular rehydration. The
most powerful moisturizers are not enough to take the place of the element that
comprises our body most. Not enough rehydration causes the skin to look dry,
tough, and old.
Getting
old
We get older since we are not flushing out of all the
generated wastes within our body allowing these toxins and impurities to mount
up within our body. For our body to operate and to maintain its temperature, we
consume nutrients inside our cells. The chief ingredients of all foods, real or
junk, plant or animal, alkaline or acid, costly or not, are proteins, fats or
carbohydrates. And these are nothing but the amalgamations of these elements:
oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen.
After undergoing the digestive and circulatory
processes, these nutrients will be oxidized in the cellular level. After this,
oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen will all turn into organic acids: fatty
acids, ammonia, uric acids, etc.
These acidic rubbishes are expelled in the form of
urine or sweat after having undergone some processes in the blood. Regrettably,
as a result of our lifestyles (i.e., too much stress, not getting enough sleep,
not enough workout, too much ingestion, smoking, etc.), the body can’t rinse
out all those acidic wastes produced in our body. These waste products build up
in an area in our body. What’s worse is that we don’t consume enough fruits and
vegetables which are alkaline foods. We get old by this process.
The
Right Water
To reverse aging caused by acidic waste products, we
should drink alkaline water. Acid free alkaline water or microwater is created by
cleaning a tap water (typically with a pH of 7), and letting it go through an electro
analysis chamber. Alkaline and acid minerals found in a tap water is split b a
device called water ionizer. The system would release water with a pH of 9
(alkaline) and another set with a pH of 5 (acidic).
Drinking alkaline water is one of the most helpful and
trouble-free ways to flush toxins and delay the process of aging. Its
effectively lies in the fact that it penetrates deeper than ordinary water.
There, it dissolves and transports wastes out of the body.
Alkaline water is more than twice as effective as
ordinary tap water. In fact, the affectivity of three glasses of alkaline water
is greater than six glasses of a regular one. With this alkaline water, 4
glasses is enough to suffice your daily water need, and delay aging, in turn.
