How water is used in your body.

They say your body is 80% water which sounds crazy and of course really isn’t true. People make up things all the time in life and some myths stick.

Your body is essentially carbon molecules and some hydrogen and some oxygen and then calcium and zinc, iron, magnesium. Basically made out of all those tablet bottles you see in the chemist of you added up one while shelf you might have a human body equivalent.

But it doesn’t quite work how we think or perceive. See we come from the inside out like a hot sun burning bright the nutrients in our body, we don’t consume and absorb same with water…

We take foods and liquids and we use them to do about 50 different processes. I won’t name them all but just the basic ones.

Cleaning, cooling, energising and replenishing.

So we need food and liquids to clean our cells out of toxins.

We need them to cool our cells especially our blood.

We need food and liquids to give us energy to our cells to divide and reproduce new ones.

And of course to replenish our old dying cells that have done their work and died. Or are sick or are just damaged.

So when you drink a cup of water, you need enough to do these basic 4 processes at least!! But not all in one cup. The body will store away that liquid to become useful so kind of warming it up so it can be used and that might take hours.

So some goes straight to our blood, some our glands, some our digestive juices and some just into our system which deals with problems we call immune.

Bit what happens is as we use the water we divide it into hydrogen which is a fuel and oxygen which is a cleanser.

So oxygen fills our cells and then pushes out the crap.

Hydrogen heats and fuels our cells to do this work.

Then something cool happens, the cells which are dead drop out into our digestive tracts and urine and the water does too and reforms as urea. With the waste and dead cells trapped inside. So it looks a lot like water but water becomes just the carrier. It really is carbon and sodium or salt.

So it’s why you can’t rehydrate drinking pee.

So once that is finished and you wee out the waste some water is left behind for other things like your nervous system and others which take a lot longer to process than blood waste.

So from the time you drink that cup of water to the time it all passes can be up to about a year.
