You know the statistic: your body is 75% water. So you try to carry a water bottle with you every day and drink water at meals.
But just drinking more water is not the answer for keeping you well hydrated. Two little organs hold the key.
Correcting dehydration and reversing its symptoms are not as simple as how much water you consume. Dehydration can be a sign of adrenal fatigue.
Water is essential to life, but you may not be getting enough, even if you drink water daily! Discover why in this article - including 11 important tips from Dr. Leonard Smith, renowned gastrointestinal, vascular and general surgeon. |

What Do Adrenals Have To Do With Hydration?
Your adrenals are two small glands that sit on top of your kidneys, and along with your thyroid, create energy. They also secrete important hormones, including aldosterone.
Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by your adrenals that regulates water levels and the concentration of minerals, like sodium, in your body1, helping you stay hydrated.
Your adrenals are also responsible for regulating your stress response. Stress is so common today that it has become chronic for most people, creating a state of adrenal fatigue. When your body is stressed, more aldosterone and sodium circulate in your system. Once the stress is over, aldosterone levels fall and sodium must leave your bloodstream.
The sodium passes through your kidneys and exits your body as urine, taking water with it.
If you experience high stress levels on a regular basis, you will weaken your adrenals and dehydrate your body. And even if you drink a lot of water, you may not be getting the hydration you need!
11 Tips for Nourishing Your Adrenals and Rehydrating Your Body
If you want to feel more energetic and improve your health, then you need to nourish your adrenals to improve hydration!
Here are some guidelines from Dr. Leonard Smith, renowned gastrointestinal, vascular and general surgeon, on how to hydrate properly:
Just a few drops of Nariwa can restructure any liquid so that it improves intracellular hydration, replaces essential minerals, helps maintain blood pH, and flushes waste out of the cells. |
Hydration with Minerals
When it comes to water, high mineral content is best for nourishing your adrenals. Over the years, we have found that the autistic children in our BEDROK group (Body Ecology Diet Recovering Our Kids) did very well with Nariwa water as part of their healing program.
This is likely due to the unique properties of Nariwa, including:
Nariwa's magnetic properties seem to help control dehydration, toxicity and acidity so that your body can maintain homeostasis.
We all need adequate amounts of water to live and we need strong adrenals to keep our fluid and mineral levels stable.
If you're drinking a lot of water without feeling hydrated OR if you are experiencing symptoms of adrenal fatigue, start nourishing your adrenals now. Drinking high quality water is only part of the equation. Getting your minerals by following The Body Ecology Way program with its great-tasting foods and its 7 healthy eating principles will help you restore your adrenals and hydrate your entire body for a longer, healthier life.
