Water In the Body - The Harm of Drinking Ice Water and Ice Drinks
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Immunology & Microbiology - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Drinking water is very important because our body is mostly water – a fetus is 95% water, a baby is 92% water – that is why they grow so fast. Between ages 20 and 30, the water content in the body drops to 70%. Between ages 40 and 50, the water is 50%, which makes the dehydrated skin to wrinkle. At age 70, the amount of water drops to 30%. Since the bones have vertical canals with structured water, which make them flexible, after the age of 70 when the water drops under 30% the bones become brittle. That is why the quality of the water we drink is so important [1]. Always filter your water! The water is chlorinated to kill the germs in it, but be sure you always filter the chlorine out before drinking it because chlorinated water causes cancer (found in German and American studies) [2]. Always use carbon filters because it is a physical absorption without residues. Water filtered with reverse osmoses contains some residual chemicals, which sensitive individuals feel like bitter taste. Drink a lot of water and exercise! Usually, at least 8 glasses of water are recommended per day. But if you only drink water, this will flush only your digestive system. To flush your body, you need to exercise. Szent-Gyeorgyi found and published in 1938 (one year after he took the Nobel Prize for the chemical formula of Vitamin C in 1937) that the contraction of all muscles pools water to them. So, if you want to flush the whole your body (not only the digestive system), you need to drink a lot of water and exercise [1]. Don’t drink ice water and ice drinks! Putting ice in drinks was started by entrepreneurs, who figure it out that if they put a lot of ice in the glass, they need to put 3 to 4 times less drink to fill the glass – be it alcohol or fruit juice. And surprisingly the clients liked it. From here started the habit in the US to drink everything with ice – alcohol drinks, juices, and water. What happens when somebody drinks ice drink.
