When you’re born you’re over 80% water. Through the years most dehydrate every organ in their body. Is it any wonder you Hurt, can’t Think, and your Organs fail?
Brain – 80% water
Blood – 90% water
Bones – 13% water
Skin – 70% water
And then you drink dehydrating drinks, caffeine, alcohol, soda which contribute to ACID build up. So, Are you Dehydrated and Acidic? Most likely yes. If you don’t replace the water you lose each day, about 10 cups you’ll eventually become dehydrated. Drink 1/2 your body weight in water daily, just to stay hydrated. A 100lb person needs to drink 50 ounces of WATER daily. Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces daily. This might motivate you to drink more water.
A healthy hydrated brain is almost 80% water.
Do you think being hydrated could have anything to do with a healthy, cognitive working brain? Just asking.
So here your are, born almost 100% water and as you can see, through the years the body begins to dehydrate. Many make the statement, “but I drink water all day long, how can I be dehydrated. It could be some of the things your are consuming that contribute to your dehydration.
Dehydration through the years
If you are like me, you drink 1/2 your body weight in water daily, and you get tested and are told you are 40% dehydrated and your are perplexed. The reason is Hyaluronic Acid (HA). And as we age, the collagen in skin loses its ability to hold its shape. We can blame this on decreased hyaluronic acid production: By age 70, most people will have lost approximately 80 percent of the hyaluronic acid they had at 40. As a result, the collagen fibers become fewer and farther between. As the network of collagen and hyaluronic acid shrinks, the skin becomes thinner and less elastic. Glands that secret natural oils also wither away, causing skin to become dry and itchy. Think of Collagen like a rubber band. For example, take an old dried up rubber band and stretch that rubber band a million times long than its original shape. Eventually that rubber band gets overstretched (saggy) and dried out and will most likely break. This is how collagen in our skin reacts as we lose moisture. Now imagine that same rubber band stretched a million times while under water the whole time. Chances of that rubber band drying out and breaking are minimal. Consider the Hyaluronic Acid as the water that keeps the collagen moist and elastic. Collagen is continuously surrounded and nourished by the gelatinous HA substance. Young skin is smooth and highly elastic because it contains high concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid, which helps skin stay elastic and healthy.
As we grow older, the body loses its ability to maintain this same concentration in the skin. With decreasing levels of HA in the skin, so goes the ability of the skin to hold water. As a result, the skin becomes drier and loses its ability to maintain it’s hydration. Hyaluronic acid acts as a space filler by binding to water and thus keeping the skin wrinkle-free.
OK, so now what? What can you do about it? You can start by drinking Hyaluronic acid. Injecting your face with HA and Collagen not only hurts but does not address the body’s hydration or collagen issues (saggy, crepey and lose skin). In fact, HA and Collagen injections are just a quick fix, not a real fix. So LED Skin Care offers a hydrating Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid and Condroitin solution.
