There are numerous health benefits of drinking water. But you already know this. But did you know that if you don't drink water and take salt, you are at risk of a number of health issues or health fails. Here are the top 3 fails. Yet people will complain, they don't like the taste of water. Or they may say they don't like to drink because they have to go to the bathroom.
Often times, the health benefits of anything we should do may not supersede the will of our bodies. To get the maximum benefits of water, we need not only to know the health benefits, we need motivation. Simply touting the benefits is often, not enough.
Our bodies are between 50% and 70% water. Drinking helps us maintain what we are.
Water flushes out the toxins. On both a systemic level and on a cellular level, water helps flush out toxins from our body.
Fail to drink water and you fail to flush your system as effectively as you can and should. The less you flush the more you leave your body at risk of disease. You are at greater risk of kidney and gall stones. You are at greater risk of anything that results of having too much of anything that would normally be flushed out of your body. This is the third of the most important health benefits of drinking water.
Fail to hydrate and have the proper electrolytes and you fail to provide the means to have optimal brain operation and energy to operate. Yes, water and salt are the original 3 Hour Energy Drink.
Water provides hydro-electric energy in our cells. But the electrical part of the energy is only if we have the proper electrolyte balance. Potassium in the cells, water outside the cells.
Interesting Fact: Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity. Lenntech on Water Conductivity So the electric energy is dependent on electrolytes like salt and potassium.
The hydro part of the energy is produced by water, which is, like ADP, is one of the fuels that our cells use.
Combine the two and something greater than the parts alone happens. Water transports essential electrolytes throughout our bodies and in and out of our cells. In addition to being a fuel, water transports in and out, the essential products the cells needs in order to produce various hormones and chemicals. Without the balance, any disease or condition that is related to the lack of hormones or chemicals the body produces will more likely be present.
If you want your brain functioning at its best, this is one of your essential reasons for drinking water and taking a pinch of unprocessed salt with each drink.
Sports Drinks vs Water: The Third Option, Water Cures Protocol
1st: Fail to Drink Fails Your Body:
Increase Heart Attack and Stroke RiskFail to properly hydrate your body put you at greater risk of heart attack. Even if you are young, and you begin to engage in sports, you may be at greater risk of a heart attack.

The science suggests that even if you are having a heart attack or stroke, by taking water and salt, it may be possible to reverse the stroke and stop the heart attack. For those with heart disease, this is one of the biggest heath benefits of drinking water.
Our Bodies Temperature Regulator
Like an air conditioner, our bodies water keeps us cool in the summer. Hydration also plays a role in maintaining our heat. All our systems and function work optimally when properly hydrated.
Water works like the air conditioning fluid that our body uses for daily operation. Water is the primary means our bodies use for cooling.
Water Promotes Weight Loss
When we drink water and take the salt, water goes into our stomach. There is washes out the old mucous and used up salt from the last meal. Once in the gut, the water is absorbed into the body, goes through the circulatory system and once back at the stomach, it creates a new mucous lining for the stomach to receive the next meal. It also takes the salt to produce on demand, a fresh batch of chemicals needed for digestion.
Then, when you eat, your stomach is ready for food. You digest food better. You quickly attain satiation. You are not full, you have just eaten enough that you do not need any more. It is a wonderful feeling and if your dieting, this is one of your best health benefits of drinking water and taking a pinch of raw or unprocessed salt before drinking your water.
You need the salt and the water 30 to 45 minutes before the meal for this benefit. Also, you may use raw or unprocessed salt with your meal.

Properly hydrated skin is healthy skin. You will look younger and more beautiful.
Good for Joint Health

Immunity
Our immune system, and especially the glutathione redox system has a high affinity for water. When properly hydrated, our body can more effectively make glutathione or GSH. This is the bodies master antioxidant, master detoxifier and master immunity booster.
Pain Reliever

It is amazing how so many things that are new to us were common knowledge in the past. One basic practice of the Water Cures protocol is to drink at least 30-45 minutes before and 2 1/2 hours after a meal. This is not a new thought however. Notice what a magazine from 1925 had to say...
"Drink plenty of water two hours after each meal; drink none just before eating; and a small quantity if any at meal time. Do not take a bath until two hours after eating a meal, nor closer than one hour before eating. Drink a full glass of water both before and after the bath." (Golden Age, Sept. 9, 1925, pp. 784-785)

Listen to your body. Do not use this if you are under a doctors care. Do not stop taking medications without consulting your doctor. If you are on medications, consult your doctor if you start the Water Cures Protocol as it may change your needs.

Hi, my name is Sharon. The webmaster of this site is my nurse, my personal water coach and my husband.
As this site was first being built, I had a headache and as usual took an Ibuprofen. Impatient for it to start working, I decided to try the Water Cures. I took a pinch of salt and a glass of water. Then I took a second pinch of salt and another glass of water. My headache was gone in less than 5 minutes.
From my personal experience, it usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for Ibuprofen to work. Some have found it takes ibuprofen 24 minutes to start working.
Yet on the Water Cures protocol, my headache was gone in 5 minutes.
Its simple: give your body what it needs and your body will give you what you need, the ability to feel great.
Water Cures was the solution for the elimination of my headache. It is what I will use from now on.
Why not give it a try yourself.
