so the number one vital element needed for life is oxygen and that that's not a surprise is it the second most vital element needed for life is water you can go 3 minutes without oxygen you can go couple of weeks without water I always thought it was 3 days without water until I read I read a book called The Long Walk about some people who are escaping the Siberian Work Camp and they were in the desert and they went nearly 2 weeks without water water is the second most vital element needed for life in fact where there's no water you don't usually get people living do you I always say to people how much water do you drink and these are some of the answers are I don't like water um if I drink water my feet swell if I drink water I'm going to the bathroom all day those last two answers tell me that the water's not getting inside the cell so how do we get the water inside the cell we have to go to the third most vital element needed for life and that is sodium the fourth most vital element needed for life is potassium in nature we find the highest amount of sodium in seawater and seawat contains 92 minerals of those 92 minerals 30% approximately 30% is sodium and of those 92 minerals approximately 50% is is chloride now because sodium chloride take up the most amount they're the first crystals formed when the water is evaporated so what man does is he Scoops up the first crystals formed he bleaches them white puts aluminium with it so that it runs freely and there's your table salt table salt is a dangerous salt because we now have two very harsh minerals that if you were inject both of those into the blood you would die there's two half FR minerals and they need all the other 90 to soften them and balance them the highest concentration of mineral inside the cell is pottassium the highest concentration outside the cell is sodium and in this bolay membrane that is around every cell there are sodium potassium pumps and these sodium potassium pumps are ever going like this maintaining the balance between potassium and sodium but when someone's not eating enough fruits and vegetables and that's where you get most of your potassium and they're putting table salt on everything far too much what happens now is sodium levels rise and potassium levels drop there is a small amount of sodium in the cell but when this happens you see osmosis and diffusion happens when the highest concentration merges into the lowest so now sodium levels inside the cell Rising which they should not not and the cell swells what's that called high blood pressure the doctor is right table salt will will contribute to high blood pressure there's a French doctor named Dr lilangry and he's written a whole book on salt he said when people come to me with high blood pressure I put them on Celtic salt why does he put them on Celtic salt because Celtic salt contains 82 minerals it's a handh harvested sea salt what about himay salt in many places him Himalayan salt is a lot easy to get there're 70 about 75 minerals so it's pretty good but I prefer the Celtic salt and one reason is that the Celtic salt has three magnesiums it contains magnesium chloride and mag magnesium bromide and magnesium sulfate magnesium is a water hungry molecule and this explains why the Celtic salt is such a moist salt especially when we've had a lot of rain because those three magnesiums absorb the moisture and because magnesium is a water hungry molecule it can be used to help the water get into the cell so when you take a crystal of Celtic salt put it on your tongue and some say how big's a crystal well if you've got high blood pressure starts small about the size of a sesame seed I don't have high blood pressure so I might have about three times little sesame seeds put it on your tongue your mucous membranes start absorbing the minerals the Magnesium is taken to the cell membrane and you drink your water and that magnesium pulls that water inside the cell it's the quickest way to hydrate a body the only time excess water drinking can be dangerous is if people drink too much at once and don't have the minerals that are in the Celtic salt to pull that water inside the cell I've had people complain to me they say I'm drinking more water now and now I'm going to the bathroom all day so I say are you are you having the salt have a little Crystal be before every glass of water and ideally we should be having approximately eight glasses of water a day and then I say to them and don't drink a whole glass at once I think I mentioned earlier I drink half a glass as soon as I get up I go to the bathroom I drink another half glass then I get dressed and have another half glass but when I start every glass I have that little bit of salt so you spread the water over the day and many people have said to me thank you so much that that has made a big difference see huge water in it's not long before huge water has to come out it's like watering a plant and look how God sends the rain little by little by little and when there's a tornado when there's a torrential downpour that's when the soil gets washed away and and flooding can happen so remember that with your body take it little by little by little by little it is the best way to take it did you know that sodium chloride is so strong it can kill the taste buds have you seen people that eat table salt they put it on everything and they put it on before they've even tasted it well no wonder their taste buds are dying whereas Celtic salt with all of its minerals it it enhances the flavor of the food now the red lentils we had this morning a few people have said what's in this I've even served it at my house at breakfast and people have said is there chicken in this and I know why they say that it's cuz it's so flavorsome well it has a little olive oil some some herbs nice if you can get fresh or Italian herbs and some Celtic salt and a bit of turmeric that's it I rinse it very well it must be rinsed well first and I do that just before it's fully cooked and yet as you can see it's delicious see I'm not interested in cooking up onions and garlic and much as I love that in my lentil I'll do that at lunchtime but in the morning I've got Hills to run up and down Creeks to jump in I'm not interested in in being in the kitchen for a long time and that's a very quick dish to to make so sodium not only is required to get the glucose into the blood it's also required to get the water into the cell so it's sodium it's the third most vital element needed for life and you can get that information on the four vitals in any anatomy and physiology book chemistry book Biology book I'm just giving you the facts here so as you can see water is very important but so is the salt and again the pottassium is found in all your fresh fruits and vegetables calcium cannot get into the cell by itself it needs vitamin D when vitamin D is present the calcium is pulled inside the cell you just imagine for a moment and this is happening in America a lot today people are not drinking enough water they're not having the whole salt and they're definitely not having many greens which is where your magnesiums is so the little bit of water they're having is not getting inside the cell they don't go out in the sunshine because they're scared of getting skin cancer so they're not getting their vitamin D so the calcium can't get in and the minerals can't get in and they're trying to lose weight so they've listened to a lot of the media hype that you got to stop the fat cuz fat will make you fat so they're on a high carbohydrate diet remember what fat will do it'll give you satisfaction or a satiation a full feeling but if you're not having any fat you just eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat the whole packet of cookies goes the whole chips go there there's almost there's not a sign in your body that says enough it's the fiber protein and the good fats that will give you that sign so they're on a high carbohydrate diet thinking that if they go fat free they'll lose weight and can you see what's happening the water can't get in the minerals can't get in the glucose can't get in and the body says what are we going to do cuz remember this is the CBD of the human body what are we going to do and the body says we've got one last thing up Our Sleeve we'll just force it into the cell that's high blood pressure so high blood pressure can be a result of dehydration it can be a result of mineral deficiency magnesium deficiency it can be a result of vitamin D deficiency it can be a result of a high carbohydrate high sugar diet it can be a result of inactivity so there's a whole lot of things that can come together to contribute to I'd like to take you inside and look at a few body functions and how they're affected by dehydration so let's begin at the mouth did you know that in a state of chronic dehydration too much saliva is produced some people think a dry mouth is a sign of dehydration it is and too much saliva can be a sign of De dehydration you see when not what not enough water is going into the body and how much water should go in Let's do an assessment of that so our kidneys to know how much water should go in we need to look at how much is coming out so our in our kidneys we urinate out 1.5 liter loss now a liter is the same as a quart so I'm probably best because I'm speaking to an American audience to say quart loss 1.5 quart loss out of the skin it can be 0.5 of a quart loss out of the colon3 of quart loss and out of the lungs it's about A2 of a quart loss so that that equals uh 2 and a half quart loss every day so two quarts is8 cups so that's uh 10 glasses 8 oz glasses of water a day is lost out of the body and we have no reserve tank on the back do we the only water that's going in is the water we take in so we should be drinking at least two quarts a day at least more if possible now at the moment because you're having a steam sauner every day I wouldn't be surprised if you've got a08 of a quart loss coming out of your skin cuz you perspire profusely the other half can come in your fruits and your vegetables maybe your herb teas or vegetable juice through the day so that's how much water we need and Dr Batman geldi he showed that the first place that we feel that water loss if we're not replacing the water the body goes into a form of drought management and it releases a hormone to manage this drought management it's called histamine and if someone has an allergic response what to something what are they given antihistamines you know the best antihistamine is just water so the first place that water is taken from to try and maintain full blood volume in the in the veins and arteries is the lining of the stomach we have a thick mucosa wall lining the stomach and so now we've got a very thin mucosa wall now in that mucosa wall there's sodium bicarbonate and the sodium bicarbonate is in the mucosa wall to neutralize any stomach acid that might try and get through and basically protect against uh against stomach ulcers so what is a stomach ulcer it's basically a breakdown of when we smell food and we start to chew food hydrochloric acid here's hydrochloric acid hydrochloric acid is released and hydrochloric acid connects with pepsinogen to release pepsin which breaks down protein but Hydrochloric does something else it's antifungal antibacterial and so it has the ability to wipe out these guys and just as hydraulic acid is considering going down and wiping these guys out he has a big glass of water and what does water do to hydrochloric acid it just dilutes it so heloa to pylorus tromping away at the dead tissue and it goes that was close Chomp Chomp when someone comes to me with helicobactor pyora one of the first things I do is increase their hydrochloric acid cuz if you increase the hydrochloric acid remember what one of its roles is antibacterial anti- yeast antifungal now I'm not criticizing the doctors that discovered that helicobactor pyora causes stomach ulcer it is there it does play a role but why is it there can you see that and unfortunately on the board that Awards Nobel prizes they're are representatives from the pharmaceutical companies so we won't go any further there and I certainly am not saying people that get Nobel prizes don't deserve it absolutely they do because of their their their great work but I'm just presenting you the facts I'm just giving you the basic anatomy and physiology Dr Batman galin he we call him Dr B he found the first first place that we lose water is the lining of the gastrointestinal tract he also found that if you go down the gastrointestinal tract you come to the pancreas and the pancreas releases two hormones into the blood to help balance blood sugar levels that's your insulin and your glucagon but if you're dehydrated those hormones aren't being made as they should be so people that are dehydrated that can be a contributing factor to diabetes he also discovered that there are hormones released from the pancreas to finalize digestion so there's pancreatic lipas to finalize starch digestion sorry fat digestion there's pancreatic amalaye that's what finalizes starch digestion there's Tron and choton that finalize protein digestion now they're all made out of water if you don't have enough water your your digestion will be compromised at every stage water is needed for every body function so no wonder Dr beat entitled his b his book when a person has a symptom of disease he says must be one of the body's many cries for water that's the title of his book our brain cells shrink when they don't have enough water headaches are common when we don't have enough water negative thought patterns can develop when our brain cells don't have enough water I can get my hand to go in and out like that without pain because around every joint there's fluid and that fluid is sovial fluid and it is 99% water in a state of dehydration the body can take some water from there to maintain full blood volume in the major arteries and veins and so if I have pain in there maybe it's called arthritis but actually maybe it's just a state of dehydration our eyeball moves around in water so we need water at every single step also our lungs now at the bottom of our lungs I'll draw you a small picture of our lungs so that you'll understand this so here's our here's our lungs here that's one lung so your tra trachea splits and comes down and then it splits again into little bronchial it's quite a process and then at the end of every bronchial there's looks like a little bunch of grapes but they're Alvi so at the end of the bronchials you've got the Alvi and this is where the gaseous exchange takes place over every Alvi there's a little blood capillary Network and it is in that blood capillary Network where the oxygen is picked up from the alivi and the blood drops the carbon dioxide and we breathe out in every Alvi there's a minuscule droplet of water and because of the surface tension of water when you breathe out that little Alvi collapses which allows all the carbon dioxide the majority of it to be breathed out so that now when you breathe in you can breathe in more oxygen in a state of dehydration that little droplet of water is not as it should be which means that doesn't totally collapse when you breathe out which means you can't get your full quota of oxygen but what also happens the body to prevent the water loss it can start constricting the uh alv the the um the little bronchials so that we don't lose water and so one of the signs of dehydration can be constricted constricted breathing the blood gets very thick in dehydration our blood needs to be nice and thin so the heart can pump it easily so that the little filtering units in our kidneys can can filter it with EAS so water is needed for every single body function I'm going to
