You know the statistic: your body is 75 percent 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.
Mix Stevia Liquid Concentrate with water and lemon or lime juice to create your own delicious, refreshing flavored water that is alkalizing to your body.
Some common symptoms of adrenal fatigue are:
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 body, helping you stay hydrated.1
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.
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:
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. Following The Body Ecology program, with its great-tasting foods and its 7 healthy-eating principles, will help you restore your adrenals with essential minerals and hydrate your entire body for a longer, healthier life.
So many of us don’t realize that dehydration can be a symptom of adrenal fatigue, along with sugar and salt cravings, difficulty sleeping, difficulty relaxing, and general exhaustion. The adrenals are responsible for regulating the stress response in the body, but unfortunately, stress has become so prevalent today that dehydration caused by weak adrenals is commonplace.
