As our bodies become dehydrated, the first things to be affected are mucous membranes, joints, and skin. This is the body’s way of protecting the vital organs. As these areas weaken, we are vulnerable to many problems. Even just 2% dehydration has been found to depress the nervous system. Humans are having trouble staying hydrated because we are drinking unstructured water, which has bigger molecules that the cell cannot absorb properly.
Without hydration the body just cannot function properly and begins to fail quickly. Here is a list of ailments linked to dehydration provided by Adams: “allergies, asthma, colitis, headaches, candidiasis, liver disease, stress, hypertension, COPD, heart disease, varicose veins, stroke, infertility, panic attacks, gastritis, rheumatism, cirrhosis, glaucoma, arthritis, chronic fatigue, Crohn’s disease, angina, hiatal hernia, neck pain, multiple sclerosis, high cholesterol, peptic ulcer, insomnia, GERD, Alzheimer’s, scleroderma, indigestion, cystitis, eczema, PAD, polyps, diabetes, kidney disease, irritable bowel, claudication, gout, depression, PMS, atherosclerosis, obesity, cystic fibrosis, muscle cramps, Parkinson’s, anxiety, constipation, UTI, schizophrenia, neuropathy, and ear infections.” This is no short list; hydration with the right type of water is extremely important. Around age 21, thirst sensation starts to decline. That is why drinking water becomes even more important when we become adults.
