Prevention of Dementia (癡呆) - FOR ALL AGES ! - START EARLY !!
This is not just an email for the elderly!
Aging occurs for all of us. Practicing the suggestions below may help us all to live younger, healthier, and happier lives.
*DEMENTIA - HOW TO AVOID IT
To help ward off dementia, train your brain: *The minute you said you are retired, Dementia starts !!
Timing is everything, comedians say. It's also important when it comes to taking care of your brain. Yet most of us start worrying about dementia after retirement - and that may be too little, too late. Experts say that if you really want to ward off dementia, you need to start taking care of your brain in your 30s and or even earlier.
"More and more research is suggesting that lifestyle is very important to your brain's health," says Dr Paul Nussbaum, a neuropsychologist and an adjunct associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine "If you want to live a long, healthy life, then many of us need to start as early as we can.
"So what can you do to beef up your brain – and possibly ward off dementia?"
Dr Nussbaum, who recently gave a speech on the topic for the Winter Park (Fla.) Health Foundation, offers 20 tips that may help.
1.*Join clubs or organizations that need volunteers*..
If you start volunteering now, you won't feel lost and unneeded after you retire.
2.*Develop a hobby or two*.
Hobbies help you develop a robust brain because you're trying something new and complex.
3.*Practice writing with your non-dominant hand several minutes every day*.
This will exercise the opposite side of your brain and fire up those neurons.
4.*Take dance lessons*.
In a study of nearly 500 people, dancing was the only regular physical activity associated with a significant decrease in the incidence of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The people who danced three or four times a week showed 76% less incidence of dementia than those who danced only once a week or not at all.
5.Need a hobby? *Start gardening*.
Researchers in New Zealand found that, of 1,000 people, those who gardened regularly were less likely to suffer from dementia. Not only does gardening reduce stress, but gardeners use their brains to plan garden they use visual and spatial reasoning to lay out a garden.
6.*Buy a pedometer and walk 10,000 steps a day*.
Walking daily can reduce the risk of dementia because cardio vascular health is important to maintain blood flow to the brain.
7.*Read and write daily*.
Reading stimulates a wide variety of brain areas that process and store information. Likewise, writing (not copying) stimulates many areas of the brain as well.
8.*Start knitting*.
Using both hands works both sides of your brain. And it's a stress reducer...
9.*Learn a new language*.
Whether it's a foreign language or sign language, you are working your brain by making it go back and forth between one language and the other. A researcher in England found that being bilingual seemed to delay symptoms of Alzheimer's disease for four years. (And some research suggests that the earlier a child learns sign language, the higher his IQ - and people with high IQs are less likely to have dementia. So start them early.)
10.*Play board games such as Scrabble and Monopoly*.
Not only are you taxing your brain, you're socializing too. (Playing solo games, such as solitaire or online computer brain games can be helpful, but Dr Nussbaum prefers games that encourage you to socialize too.) *MAHJONG IS GOOD!* besides which there is the incentive of $$$.
11.*Take classes throughout your lifetime*.
Learning produces structural and chemical changes in the brain, and education appears to help people live longer. Brain researchers have found that people with advanced degrees live longer - and if they do have Alzheimer's, it often becomes apparent only in the very later stages of the disease.
12.*Listen to classical music*.
A growing volume of research suggests that music may hardwire the brain, building links between the two hemispheres. Any kind of music may work, but there's some research that shows positive effects for classical music, though researchers don't understand why.
13.*Learn a musical instrument*.
It may be harder than it was when you were a kid, but you'll be developing a dormant part of your brain.
14.*Travel.*
When you travel (whether it's to a distant vacation spot or on a different route across town), you're forcing your brain to navigate a new and complex environment. A study of London taxi drivers found experienced drivers had larger brains because they have to store lots of information about locations and how to navigate there.
15.*Pray*.
Daily prayer appears to help your immune system. And people who attend a formal worship service regularly live longer and report happier, healthier lives.
16. *Learn to meditate*.
It's important for your brain that you learn to shut out the stresses of everyday life.
17.*Get enough sleep*.
Studies have shown a link between interrupted sleep and dementia.
18.*Eat more foods containing omega-3 fatty acids*:
Salmon, sardines, tuna, ocean trout, mackerel or herring, plus walnuts (which are higher in omega 3s than salmon) and flaxseed. Flaxseed oil, cod liver oil and walnut oil are good sources too.
19.*Eat more fruits and vegetables*.
Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables mop up some of the damage caused by free radicals, one of the leading killers of brain cells.
20.*Eat at least one meal a day with family and friends*.
You'll slow down, socialize, and research shows you'll eat healthier food than if you ate alone or on the go.
21.*In addition, I think receiving and distributing e-mails every day helps the brain function and exercise !!*

How's your day going?
There I was is sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.
"Well, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying."
"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my old lady in bed with the gardener, and then my dog bit me."
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve. Then you, you jack-ass, show up and drink the whole thing! But enough about me, how's your day going?"

水是最好的�.
（美）F. 巴特曼博士
F． BATMANGHELID
简化版前言
你知道仅仅用水就可以治愈许多慢性疾病吗?
我们对身体外面的水了解得很多，但对身体内的水却知之甚少。如果我们了解了水在身体内的具体运行情况，我们就会恍然大悟，许多疾病的病因仅仅是身体缺水。
本文作者 F・巴特曼博士是亚力山大・佛莱明 -- 盘尼西林发现者和诺贝尔奖得主的学生，他将毕生精力致力于研究水的治疗作用。他不用药，仅用水，就治愈了3000多名患者。本书总结了作者几十年的研究成果。他发现水可以治疗：
l 心脏病和中风，因为水能稀释血液，有效地预防心脑血管阻塞；
l 骨质疏松症，因为水能使成长过程中的骨骼变得更加坚固；
l 白血病和淋巴瘤，因为水能够将氧输送进细胞，而癌细胞具有厌氧的特征；
l 高血压，因为水是最好的天然利尿剂；
l 糖尿病，因为水能够增加身体内色氨酸的含量；
l 失眠，因为水能够产生天然的睡眠调节物质——褪黑激素；
l 抑郁症，因为水能使身体以天然的方式增加血清素的供应；
本书还详细介绍了如何喝水方法：喝水，不是喝茶、一天喝2~3升的水、分多次喝、不是等到口渴时喝水、喝水时要加点盐、尽量喝自来水，而不是碳酸饮料和咖啡。
《水是最好的药》和《水这样喝能治病》已被翻译成16种语言，畅销全球，到几百家电视台演讲，本书仅在美国就已印了35次。他难怪有人将这本书与《圣经》相提并论。
为了让普通人，特别是需要从本书获得解除自己慢性病痛的老年人能理解，作者简化了原著，由32万字简化为2.3万字，不去深究哪些深奥理论和生僻的医学术语，只是侧重其运用方法和效果。
这是另类医学理论，是与现代的医疗学说是离经叛道的，我没有本事判断其中有多少正确，多少谬误，哪些是有意夸大？但本书提出的问题关系着你的健康，甚至生命。而且，我国当前的医与药都以赢利为导向的现实里，现有的医疗与医药体系中的既得利益者是否可能有意无意掩盖了某些真理？作者单用水就可以治疗许多困扰我们老年人的慢性病，又不花钱，是否值得我们读一读，想一想和试一试呢！

1 新的医学理念
1，前言
现代人，包括大多数的医生不明白水在人体中的作用有多么重要。药物可以缓解病情，却治不好人体的衰老性疾病。
同时，人们很少去思考如下问题：
l 水进入身体后是怎样运行的?
l 水在身体内究竟起着怎样至关重要的作用?
l 身体缺水还有没有其他的信号和表征?
如果我们了解了水在身体内的具体运行情况，我们就会恍然大悟，许许多多疾病的病因仅仅是身体缺水。身体缺水造成了水代谢功能紊乱，生理紊乱最终又导致了诸多疾病的产生；而治疗这些疾病的方法简单得令你难以置信，那就是：喝足够多的水。
2，水是生命之源
人之所以能在陆地上成长，也是因为身体内有一整套完善的储水系统。这个系统在人体内储备了大量的水，约占体重的75％。正因如此，人才能在短时间内适应暂时的缺水。同时，人体内还有一个干旱管理机制：在人体缺水时，严格分配体内储备的水，并让最重要的器官先得到足量的水以及由水输送的养分。水的分配中，大脑处于绝对优先的地位。
大脑占人体重量的1／50，却接收了全部血液循环的18％一20％，水的比例也与之相同。身体缺水时，干旱管理机制首先要保证重要器官，于是，别的器官的水分就会不足。这时，它们就会发出报警信号，表明某个局部缺水。
作者从医多年，经常碰到这种情况：明明是身体缺水发出的信号，急需补充水，但人们却用化学药品对付这些缺水信号。更不幸的是，这个错误还会持续，身体的病状逐渐发展，脱水症越来越复杂，用药越来越多，直到有一天病人死了。这时，谁都说不清他究竟是病死的还是渴死的。
这是新的认知模式和新的科学理念，当然要挑战现代医学，得到广泛认同不容易！
3，离经叛道的新理念
人体是由25％的干物质(溶质)和75％的水(溶剂)构成的。
今天的科学认为，人体是装满了各种不同性质的固体物质，水只不过是无足轻重的“填充材料”和运输工具。而且，只有溶质(也就是溶于血液的物质，或血液携带的物质和血液中的血清)才能调节人体的各种活动，调节人体对水分(溶剂)的吸纳。这样的错误认识使得医学研究时全都盯着一个方向：找到致病的“特殊”物质、先用化验来查找病因，再寻找化学品中和或改变这些“溶质”。须知，除了用抗生素治疗细菌感染外，所有治疗方法都是为了减轻患者的症状，都是治标不治本。
有关人体的科学新理念和新思维能使普通人成为自己的保健医生。溶剂，即水，有调节体内功能的作用，还能调节溶解于其中的溶质(固体物质)。人体内的水代谢一旦紊乱(溶剂紊乱)，就会发出各种信号，表明“系统”功能出了问题，水的供给与分配出了问题。
人体大约由75％的水和25％的固体物质构成。据说大脑组织的85％都是水，而且，大脑对脱水或水分不足的状态极为敏感。大脑总是浸泡在含有盐分的脑脊髓液体中。身体里的水被视为溶剂，水中溶解的固体物质被称为溶质。
作者曾对3000多名消化道溃疡患者做过临床观察，只用水治病，就能治愈。
身体缺水的惟一补救办法就是供水，除此之外别无他法。本书各章节都引用了一些例证，以便让心存疑虑者明白：水是天然的保健良药，能够解决多种健康问题。这也是人类历史上最伟大的发现。
特别是，进入成年后，渴的感觉会逐渐衰退，我们的身体内的水分会越来越少。随着年龄的增长，体内细胞的含水量也会逐渐减少，细胞内的含水量与细胞外含水量之比从1：1减少至大约0.8：1，也就说是进入老龄后，每十年身体内丧失3升以上的水。这是一个巨大的变化。我们饮水是为了满足细胞的功能需求，饮水量的减少会影响细胞的活力。结果，慢性脱水就会引发一系列症状。如果不明白这些症状是人体脱水发出的紧急信号，就会把它们误认为是别的疾病。直到今天，人们还是没有弄明白这个问题，把身体对水的渴求误认为是别的疾病，用化学药物来治疗。
4，这是一个偶然的发现
1979年，作者作为伊斯兰教革命运动的政治犯关押在伊朗的艾威恩监狱。有一天深夜里他发现了一个神奇的事实：只需要两杯水，就可以解除因胃溃疡引起的剧烈腹痛。
在监狱15个月时间内，他已经治愈了数百名囚犯，在随后的两年半时间里，使用自来水成功又治愈了3000多个因各种压力导致的胃溃疡病例。这时，作者清醒地意识到，这些人实际上只是于渴而已，病人脱水的信号是通过身体的疼痛表现出来的。
在度过了2年零7个月的监狱生活和后来的日子里，作者对于水在生理机能方面的作用，以及水与许多疾病的关系，形成了更多的认识，并发表在各种医学杂志中。
2 水是最好的药之基础
l 身体水份调节与干渴管理机制的重要特征之一，使身体机能受到严密的监控。任何器官获得的水分份额，都不会超过它自身的需要。器官获得水分的多少，取决于其运行功能和特性。和其他所有的系统相比，大脑具有绝对的获取水分优先权。
l 人们都会对干渴和饥饿做出反应，以为二者都是饥饿导致的。但是人们总是吃固体东西，只有身体需要消化过剩的食物，导致干渴的感觉逐渐占据上风时，才会喝些水。在这种情况下，身体的缺水过程，可能会进入一种持续发展的阶段，以致会以一个适应机制逐渐形成和巩固下来。这一过程，将会破坏干渴管理机制，致使身体无法通过有效的干渴感觉表达对水的需求。也就是说，如果你喝的水越多，你的口渴感就会越敏锐，你喝的水越少，你的口渴感就越迟钝。
l 茶、咖啡、葡萄酒和饮料不能代替身体所需的天然水。因为，这些饮料固然含有水分，但也含有脱水因子，特别是咖啡因和酒类。这些物质不仅会清除溶解它们的水分，还会清除身体额外的水分。当你喝咖啡、茶或啤酒时，身体消耗的水分，总是多于这些饮料含有的水分。假如你喝完饮料后测量一下尿液，你就会发现你排出的尿超过饮料的量。
l 当人体处于脱水状态时，它就会将当前所剩的水分重新分配。在人体内部，某些区域水分供应不足，就会发出警报。当干渴管理机制发生作用时，人体仅存的水分将会得到调配，并在需要时使用，这会使人体的整体运行机制发生改变 — 开始生病。
l 如人体长期脱水，会导致依赖水分的机体功能暂时关闭或休眠，因为身体需要将所剩不多的水分储存起来，以便度过困难期。进而身体脱水的程度越来越严重，某些器官和功能的承受力就会达到极限。这时，身体最活跃的组织和器官，将首先发出特定的信号，并且通知我们：身体已经进入严重缺水状态 — 慢性病出现。
l 当身体的干渴管理机制发出一系列危机信号时，意味着身体某个区域处于干渴状态，此时，只要增加水分供应，就可以缓解不利局面。但实际上，我们从医生哪里获得的往往是大量的化学药物。因为绝大多数的医生并不了解脱水的症状，不清楚水在身体里的重要性，只能用药物而不是水来解决这些症状，最终的结果是：制药企业越来越富有，病人却没有得到治疗，医生面对身体出现的各种慢性病束手无策。
l 药物治疗只能暂时消除身体缺水的各种危机信号，对人体细胞(包括基因细胞)却有害无益。长期脱水，会使身体机能的活跃性和有效性彻底丧失，即便是药物也不能起到任何作用，这种可怕的情形，还将传递到下一代身上。如果一种疾病的根源是脱水，人体的感应机制就会遭到破坏，在下一代人的体内就难以形成对抗缺水状态的内在机制。特别是哮喘症、过敏症、胃灼热等疾病，都可通过补水来进行预防，并且只有这样，在我们自己以及下一代人的身上，某些疾病才不会产生。
l 蛋白质和酶这两种物质，在低粘稠度的溶剂里效率更高。只有周围的水分充足，它们才能够高速扩散和运转。如果溶剂因细胞内缺水而产生高粘稠度，那么，蛋白质和酶在细胞内部的运转效率就会迅速降低。
l 老年人身体水分不足的问题十分突出，他们每10年身体的水分平均丧失3.5~6升，这是一种巨大的损失。而且，依赖口渴的感觉会引起长时间脱水，主要是引起细胞内部脱水，结果导致生产神经传递素的“工厂”体内的氨基酸大量丧失。因为随着年龄的增长，细胞内的水分含量，将逐渐少于细胞外的水分含量，细胞内部的水分逐渐流失，将导致水渗透平衡被完全打破，细胞的吸水性能和储水性能将会逐步丧失，这就是开始干瘪！
假如老年人体内的水分充足，将会有一个潜在的好处：它能提高成蛋白质和酶的活性，由于蛋白质和酶受所处自由水环境的影响，这意味着体内拥有充足的水分，就可以最大限度地预防早衰和所有感观系统的过早退化。
l 仅仅依赖干渴的感觉做出判断，等到口渴才开始喝水，只会带来严重的后果。等待口渴，意味着忍受疼痛和提前死亡。

4 身体缺水就会生病
A，序言
脱水，会使生命体的内外结构发生改变，人和水果一样，水果脱水会变成果子干。
人体细胞数目达100万亿之多。在身体缺水最严重的部位的细胞开始变皱，其内在机能也会受到影响。身体任何部位缺水，都会通过不同的信号反映出来。到目前为止，身体脱水的信号，并没有得到充分的认识，它们往往被视为原因不明的疾病。
作者认为，有三种不同的感觉系统来反映局部或全面的缺水症状。在大多数情况下，这些症状只要合理补充水份完全可以逆转，而不会使身体受到更多的伤害。
一、最常见的“感觉”：劳累，激动，恼火，焦虑，沮丧，压抑，睡眠不足，头昏脑胀，……。
二、第二类反映身体脱水的症状，是身体干渴管理机制涉及的相关脱水症状。前五种症状，我们只要对身体的生理机制进行调整，它们很容易得到修复。第六种症状是由一系列不良反应构成的，我们将其定义为自身免疫性疾病，不过，它们也应被视为身体内部自我摧残的结果。换言之，身体长时期脱水会使身体的组织系统受到破坏。
1．哮喘症：
2．过敏症：
3．高血压：
4．便秘：
5．Ⅱ型糖尿病：
6．自身免疫性疾病。
三、更强烈的“危机信号”
以细胞内部酸性物质的数量和活动状况为基础出现下列病痛，都是身体长期脱水、基因遭到潜在破坏的早期信号：
1．胃灼热：
2．胃痛；
3．心绞痛：
4．背痛；
5．风湿性关节痛，包括类风湿性脊椎炎；
6．偏头痛：
7．结肠痛：
8．纤维肌痛：
9．贪食症；
10．怀孕期的晨吐现象。
B 缺水病症的进一步说明
1, 哮喘和过敏
什么是哮喘症?大致说来，它是支气管发炎和痉挛引起的呼吸道疾病，症状是呼吸急促，有时甚至会使人窒息。作者认为，哮喘症和过敏症是身体需要水的一种“危机信号”，证明人体处于脱水状态，预示着身体正在持续退化，直至脱水引发的其他症状逐一出现，最终可能导致人过早死亡。
盐是天然的抗组胺药物。过敏症患者应当增加盐的摄人量，它可以防止组胺的过度生成。
肺需要水来保持气流通道的湿润，防止空气的出人造成通道干燥。在脱水状态下，粘液的分泌可以使空气通道保持湿润。在哮喘病初期，粘液可以保护肺部组织。到了一定程度，分泌的粘液会越来越多，滞留并阻塞正常的空气通道。钠是天然的粘液化解者，通常，钠的正常分泌就是为了使粘液“容易咳出”。这就是为什么吐出的痰是咸的。
如果你患有过敏症和哮喘症，那你必须从现在开始，坚持长期饮水。应该停止摄取咖啡因和酒精，直到身体恢复正常。那些心脏和肾脏功能正常的人，在每餐前一个半钟头左右，应该喝两杯水，而在饭后，要喝两杯半水。在增加水量的同时，也需要增加盐的摄取量，以弥补尿液增加导致盐分缺失。

Excerpts from the book:
"When the human body developed from species that were given life in water, the same dependence on the life-giving properties of water was inherited. The role of water in the body of living species - mankind included - has not changed since the first creation of life from salt water and its subsequent adaption to fresh water."
(p.4)
"Since the water we drink provides for cell function and its volume requirements, the decrease in our daily water intake affects the effeciency of cell activity. (...) As a result, chronic dehydration causes symptoms that equal disease when the variety of emergency signals of dehydration are not understood."
(p.14)
"The human body has a major problem with its normal water regulation, caused by a gradual loss of thirst sensation. This problem is confronted often enough in clinical practice that it does not need explanation. However, The Lancet editorial of 3 November 1984 and the 20 September 1984 article by Paddy Phillips [should] remove any doubt on the issue."
(p.140)
"Humans seems to lose their thirst sensation and the critical perception of needing water. Not recognising their need for water, they gradually become increasingly and chronically dehydrated with the progress of age. Further confusion lies in the idea that when we're thirsty, we can substitute tea, coffee, or alcohol-containing beverages. This is a common error."
(p.14)
"Not recognising the thirst signals of the body will undoubtedly produce complicated problems in the present way of treatment of these conditions. It is all too easy to assume these signals are complications of a serious disease process and begin to treat signal-producing dehydration with complicated procedures. Although water by itself will alleviate the condition, medications or invasive diagnostic procedures may be forced on the person. It is the responsibility of both patients and their doctors to be aware of the damage that chronic dehydration can cause in the human body."
(p.18)
"These chronic pains include dyspeptic pain, rheumatoid arthritis pain, anginal pain (heart pain on walking, or even at rest), migraine and hangover headaches, colitis pain and its associated constipation.
The "view shift" dictates that all these pains should be treated with a regular adjustment to daily water intake. No less than two and a half quarts (two and one half litres) in 24 hours should be taken for a few days prior to the routine and regular use of analgesics or other pain-relieving medications."
(p.19)
"If the problem has persisted for many years, those who wish to test the pain relieving property of water should make sure their kidneys can make sufficient urine so that they do not retain too much water in the body. Urine output should be measured against water intake. With an increase in water intake, the urine output should also increase."
(p.19)
Digestion
"It has been shown experimentally that, when we drink one glass of water, it immediately passes into the intestine and is absorbed. However, within one half-hour, almost the same amount of water is secreted into the stomach through its glandular layer in the mucosa. It swells from underneath and gets to the stomach, ready to be used for food breakdown. The acid is poured on the food, enzymes are activated, and the food is broken down into a homogenised fluid state that can pass into the intestine for the next phase of digestion.
The mucus covers the glands' layer of the mucusa, which is the innermost layer of the structure of the stomach. Mucus consists of 98 percent water and two percent the physical "scaffolding" that traps water.
(p.25)
Ulcers
"It is said that ulcers are the result of infections. My researched opinion is that the variety of curved bacteria, blamed for causing ulcerations, are commensals - that is, bacteria that naturally dwell in the intestines. They may take an unfair advantage from the immune system suppression that is the direct outcome of dehydration. You see, the normal intestinal bacteria cohabit with us and produce much of the vitamins needed by the body. They contribute to our well-being when we are strong. In dehydration, particularly at the site of the valve between the stomach and the duodenum, many histamine producing nerves exist. This particular curved bacterium benefits from the growth hormone effects of histamine, at the same time that these nerves are restrictively monitoring the rate of flow of the strongly acidic content of the stomach into the intestine."
(p.28)
Colitis pain
"Colitis pain, felt in the lower left part of the abdomen, should initially be viewed as another thirst signal for the human body. It is often associated with constipation, itself caused by persistent dehydration.
One of the main functions of the large intestine is the process of taking water out of the excrements so that too much of it is not lost in the waste matter after food digestion. When there is dehydration, the residue is naturally devoid of the normal amount of water necessary for its easier passage. Also, by slowing down the flow and further squeezing the content, even the final drops of water will be drawn away from the solid residue in the large gut. Thus, constipation will become a complication of dehydration in the body. With added food intake, more solid waste will be packed into the intestine and increase the burden for passage of its hardened waste content. This process will cause pain. Colitis pain should initially be considered as a thirst signal of the body. With adequate water intake, the left lower abdominal pain that is associated with constipation will disappear. Eating an apple, a pear, or an orange in the evenings helps reduce constipation the next day."

Motilin
"When we drink water, depending on the volume of water that enters the stomach, a hormone/neurotransmitter called "motilin" is secreted. The more water we drink, the more motilin is produced by the intestinal tract and can be measured in blood circulation. The effect of motilin on the intestinal tract, as its name implies, is to produce rhythmic contractions of the intestines - peristalsis - from its upper parts to its lower end. Part of this action would involve the timely opening and closing of the valves that are in the way of flow of the intestinal content.
Thus, when there is enough water in the body for all the digestive processes that depend on the availability of water, the pancreas will produce its watery bicarbonate solution to prepare the upper part of the intestinal tract to receive the ecidic content of the stomach. Under such ideal circumstances, the pyloric valve is also allowed to open for the evacuation of the content of the stomach. Motilin has a major "transmission" role in co-ordinating this action. Motilin is a satiety hormone secreted when water extends the stomach wall."

How much water?
"Your body needs an absolute minimum of six to eight-ounce glasses of water a day.
[ 8 ounces is equivalent to app. 2,25 deciliter ]
Alcohol, coffee, tea, and caffeine-containing beverages don't count as water.
The best times to drink water (clinically observed in peptic ulcer disease) are: one glass one half hour before taking food - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and a similar amount two and one half hours after each meal. This is the very minimum amount of water your body needs. For the sake of not short-changing your body, two more glasses of water should be taken around the heaviest meal or before going to bed.
Thirst should be satisfied at all times. With increase in water intake, the thirst mechanism becomes more efficient. Your body might then ask you to drink more than the above minimum.
Adjusting water intake to mealtimes prevents the blood from becoming concentrated as a result of food intake. When the blood becomes concentrated, it draws water from the cells around it.
Water is the cheapest form of medicine to a dehydrated body. (...) There is more natural magic in a glass of water than any medication you are brain-washed to use for the treatment of the conditions I have explained in this book. And I do not sell water!"

Salt
"Salt is an essential ingredient of the body. In their order of importance, oxygen, water, salt and potassium are the primary elements for the survival of the human body. (...)
The precation to keep in mind is loss of salt from the body when water intake is increased and salt intake is not. After a few days of taking six or eight or ten glasses of water a day, you should begin to think of adding some salt to your diet. If you begin to feel muscle cramps at night, remember you are becoming salt-deficient. Cramps in unexercised muscles most often means salt shortage in the body. Also, dizziness and feeling faint might be indicators of salt and water shortage in the body. If such occasions arise, you should also begin to increase your vitamins and minerals intake, including vegetables and fruits for ther water-soluble vitamin and mineral content.
I have developed a rule of thumb for daily salt intake. For every ten glasses of water (about two quarts), one should add to the diet about half a teaspoon of salt per day. An average teaspoon can contain six grammes of salt."
