Our body is comprised of approximately 70% water, and we are constantly losing that water through urine, feces, sweat, and mucous membranes. In fact, we lose water with every breath we exhale. This fact is easily proven by exhaling on a mirror or glass and noticing the tiny beads of water on the surface. All this lost water from the body needs to be replaced! The question answered in this article is – What kind of water should this lost water be replaced with? Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., had a very interesting article titled “Best Water to Drink” published on August 27, 2014 by Newsmax Health. In the article he states:
“Distilled water is prepared by boiling the water and then condensing the steam. This removes all contaminants but the volatile gases, which need to be removed by carbon filtration. Some will say that distilled water removes the beneficial minerals, but these can be added to water later. Distilling creates water with a neutral pH, kills all microorganisms even viruses, and removes fluoride as well as other harmful metals. The one problem is the volatile chemicals, which are condensed in the final water container. The better distillers have a carbon filter to remove these volatile gases during the condensation process. Other ways to filter water include reverse osmosis, ceramic filtration, silver impregnated filters, and multilayered filter systems, all of which have their advantages. The big problem with most filters is that they do not remove fluoride. The reverse osmosis filters remove fluoride but they have to be changed every three months because the fluoride burns holes in the filter. Most physicians have observed that adults, the elderly in particular, do not drink enough water. This can lead to a number of problems, including a higher risk of kidney disease and a greater risk of sudden heart attacks or strokes. When you are dehydrated, the blood is sluggish and tends to clog the microscopic vessels in the organs, especially the brain. It also makes the blood more likely to clot…..”
The Importance of Water
Did you know that most people can live at least 40 days without food but only about 4 days without water? By the way, we can only live about 4 minutes without oxygen. With all of today’s emphasis on food, have we forgotten the most basic of all body needs – water and oxygen? If you were to Google “water” concerning this issue, you would quickly realize that there is presently a lot of confusion and contradiction concerning the issue. For instance – some say distilled water is dangerous because it removes the minerals from the water, is acidic, and contributes to bone loss. Others say that distilled water is the purest and best of all waters and does not cause the problems the critics of distilled water proclaim. Then there are others that promote reverse-osmosis water, Kangan water, charcoal filtered water, and a variety of other methods of conditioning water for drinking. Most people realize the dangers of drinking water from municipal water supplies as it comes from the faucet, because of the toxic chemicals chlorine and fluoride that are added to most public water supplies, and the potential dangers to the body of the other toxins contained in tap water. In the more than 1,000 seminars I have delivered during the past 22 years, one of the most common questions I receive in the Q&A time is, “What kind of water should I drink”? Then they go on to tell how confused they are regarding the subject. What Kind of Water Did Adam and Eve Drink? Did you know that ever since God created all the water on planet earth at the time of creation, there has not been a drop of water added to or subtracted from that original amount that God created? Rain water is naturally distilled water! Distillation is a system put in place by God at creation to keep earth’s water pure: Water rises from the earth in the form of water vapors, leaving all minerals and contaminants behind. It then comes back down to earth from the clouds in a naturally distilled form as rain, frozen rain, or snow. When naturally distilled water strikes the earth, this naturally distilled alkaline water percolates through the soil dissolving some of the minerals that comprise the soil. Minerals and nutrients from the soil are then picked up by the roots of the plant, and with the assistance of the sun’s energy, the plant produces the fruits and vegetables that grow in the garden and that we eat.Did You Know? The purest and best water a person can consume is the water found in the fruits and vegetables growing in the garden.The water found in raw fruits and vegetables originated in the naturally distilled water that came from the clouds with the addition of the minerals and nutrients the roots of the fruit or vegetable plant added. The liquid in the plants, often called the “blood of the plant”, is the very best liquid with which we can replace the body’s lost liquids! That’s one of the reasons daily juicing of vegetables has been such an important part of my life for almost 40 years. Rhonda and I juice a 25-pound bag of organic carrots weekly, along with the juice of organic celery, cucumber, beets, leafy greens, in addition to the distilled water that we drink. I discourage the use of fruit juices because of the concentrated sugars they contain. We should eat our fruits and juice our vegetables. All raw fruits and vegetables are comprised of anywhere from 70% to 90% of this wonderful plant liquid. When we eat a diet that is comprised primarily of raw fruits and vegetables, we are providing our bodies with this wonderful, living, nutrient dense liquid. Sadly, the average person primarily eats foods lacking these wonderful plant liquids. With regard to the kind of water Adam and Eve took into their bodies, there is a very good chance (though it cannot be proven) that all the liquid they took into their bodies came from the fruits and vegetables they ate in the Garden of Eden. I question whether they drank water at all.
