It is interesting to note that it is possible for you to survive for 40 days without food, but only 7 days without water. This is because your body’s cells need water to deliver nutrients and to rid itself of waste. Most people do not know that the average adult body is more than 70% water, with the brain being 80-85%, blood 90%, muscles 75%, bones about 13% and the amazing liver 96% water. If we become dehydrated then we start the process towards illness and within 7 days death.
The human body is a unique machine, designed primarily to run on healthy, uncontaminated water and minerals. Every life giving and healing process that happens inside our body... amazingly happens with healthy water.
How? The function of every cell in our body is controlled by electrical signals sent through our nervous system from the brain. Our nerves, in reality, are an elaborate system of tiny waterways. If the fluid inside our nerves thickens due to dehydration, or is contaminated with synthetic chemicals or toxic heavy metals like lead, the vital signals can get distorted. Many experts now believe that the distortion of these signals may be the root cause of many degenerative diseases and neurological illnesses like Attention Deficit Disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, anxiety, depression and even Alzheimer's disease.
Other signs of 
Dehydration are:
Acid reflux
Allergies
Asthma
Constipation
Cramps
Dizziness
Dry eyes
Dry mouth
Fatigue
Headaches
Irritability
Joint pain
pH Imbalance
Weight gain
Those who choose a healthy lifestyle will eat organic food versus non-organic, take supplements and vitamins, and try to adequately hydrate themselves. What most people don’t know is that there are healthy versus unhealthy hydration options. Unhealthy water can lead to an acidic body, which can cause cancer and many other illnesses, whereas healthy water can improve health and slow down the process of aging.
So how do you know which water is healthy or unhealthy. We could simply tell you the answer, but it's really not that simple. You need to make your own decisions based upon knowledge and not just what someone tells you. This website will attempt to assist your learning process by presenting a simple, but thorough, breakdown of the different water types. We will cover the many issues surrounding tap water and its contamination using references and reports from both government and national associations, plus information from today's leading nutritionist and wellness professionals.
We will also provide you with a wide variety of videos that focus on water. These videos have been produced by 20/20, CNN and other professional resources. As a sample, we'll start with the entertaining and informative video below entitled The Story of Bottled Water.
Before we launch into a deeper discussion of bottled water we need to review the hard data about tap water, which will surprise most of you. We'll explore the realities of fluoride, chlorine and several cancer causing contaminants found is most tap water. Plus we'll provide you will the numerous reports and links to national research data and the EPA.
Next we will explore the very expensive and largely unregulated bottled water industry. We will present some funny and not so funny videos that will having you hesitating a bit before buying your next bottle of water. Did you know over 80% of all plastic water bottles are not recycled and that it takes about a 1,000 years before they decompose? It's a bit scary to realize that Americans dump 30 million plastic water bottles per day into landfills, lakes, rivers and oceans.
We will then help you explore the multiple options for traditional water filters. At a minimum we recommend that everyone invest in a good quality water filter. This website will provide you with a thorough and unbiased review of the many different types of water filters on the market. If you do choose to buy a water filter then we also recommend that you change your filter cartridges per the manufacturers instructions. Failure to do so may very well be worse than drinking unfiltered water.
Next we will look at the unnatural distilled water and reverse-osmosis water. While these waters are very clean, they are also stripped of all healthy minerals such as potassium, and trace minerals like magnesium. These mineral deficiencies can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging.
Additionally, distilled water and reverse-osmosis water are very acidic. Those of you who choose to drink distilled and/or reverse-osmosis water should try to avoid most fast foods, meats, refined salt, refined sugar and and eat lots of fruits and vegetables, which are alkaline, to maintain a proper pH balance in your body.
Lastly we will explore the recognized health benefits of ionized water and why freshly ionized water is perhaps the healthiest drinking water on the planet. The water created by a quality water ionizer appliance is carbon filtered and molecularly restructured to hydrate you 5 to 7 times faster, is very high in alkalinity (pH 9.5 or higher) and rich in anti-oxidants.
Ionized water is probably something that most Americans are unaware of, yet in Japan nearly 20% of all households use one. In Japan one ionizer is certified as a medical device and used hospitals and clinics to treat thousands of patients each year.
Hydration-Specialist.com believes that once you have educated yourself about the many different issues surrounding drinking water that you will want to try ionized water for yourself. Therefore we offer anyone a three week supply of ionized water for free.
We also offer free presentations about the many issues surrounding drinking water. We also offer private water demonstrations for those who want to learn more about ionized water and the electrolysis process of molecularly restructuring water.
