13 Harmful Effects of Not Drinking Enough Water

One aspect of vibrant, fortified health is staying hydrated. In the Bible, it says we have placed before us life and death. We make life and death-producing choices every day, all day long. Not drinking enough clean, properly filtered water is a death-producing choice.

Here are 13 things that can occur when de-hydrated:  

• Brain fog

• Headaches

• Lack of water increases the sensation of hunger, which can lead to greater calorie intake and weight gain.

• Muscles need water to adequately absorb nutrients and stay strong. A dehydrated body can lose a significant amount of muscle mass.

• Kidneys are in charge of filtering waste and producing urine. They depend upon water! Lack of water contributes to a higher level of toxins in blood and body.

• Blood plasma is 90% water, and without enough water blood can thicken and moves slowly, thus less oxygen being delivered to cells.

• Low energy

• Youthful skin requires moisture, and lack of it ages and wrinkles skin faster

• Joint pain … cartilage requires hydration

• Increase in inflammation

• Decreases the body’s ability to absorb nutrition

• Digestive and bowel issues

• Death … yes you can die from lack of water

My personal daily routine is to drink water as soon as I rise in the morning. Before eating breakfast I like to consume approximately 20-30 ounces of water with fresh lemon juice. I don’t drink it all at one time. I drink it over the course of 20 minutes or so, along with my 6-8 minute morning stretching exercise routine, which I jokingly refer to as my morning cup of coffee. My routine of drinking water includes taking metabolic enzymes with the water on an empty stomach.

4 Steps to Transform Your Health

David Cooley
Certified Health Consultant

David spent over 27 years in the mortgage/real estate business. But 33 years ago, God re-directed his life and placed in him a passion for natural health and prevention of disease. Today, David is a certified health consultant, and for the last 33 years has lived a natural food lifestyle and discovered simple, key components for living a lifestyle of health and vitality. One of the early things David realized is that disease was NOT the result of a drug deficiency. And that everything we think, say, and consume or are exposed to in some manner or another either supports our cellular structures or causes them to age faster and breakdown.  

David believes there is nothing more important than to live within God’s blueprint for one’s life. Each of us has been given specific gifts, talents, and purpose that are to be lived out on a foundation of faith in Him and His Word.

“It saddens me to see people suffering, frustrated, or discouraged with life … and fall into the rut of living, unable to reach their full potential: spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially. I think it’s also a travesty in this country people that are not educated in personal health care, nor in how to protect their privacy, assets, and often liberties. God has designed us to live amazing lives, and sometimes it just helps to find someone who will come alongside and provide the hope and direction needed at that moment. It’s about bringing together your personal and business aspirations into a balanced vision for your life, aligned with His Word.“

“Bottom line, what balance do you need to bring to your life, what type of life do you desire to create that enables you to be all you can be and live a life with no regret – a life that produces a faithful servant?”
