Osteoarthritis and Alkaline Water

Unintentional dehydration is primarily due to our misguided belief that we think we are properly hydrated because we drink. soda, coffee, tea and alcohol and 6 glasses of water a day. In fact we lose more water and salt than we drink because of the dehydrating effect of coffee, tea, soda and alcohol. In unintentional dehydration;
1. Water is lacking to remove acidic wastes in the spinal area. The alkalinity, 7.4 pH in the spinal joints and surrounding structures including the muscle turns to low pH acidic environment. The acidity is sensed by the pain receptors and registered in the brain as pain.
This is the cry of the body that the area is dehydrated. This is the immediate reason why drinking 2 glasses of  alkaline water give instant pain relief within minutes of drinking water. Water is the best analgesic and anti-inflammatory because we are replacing the water that is lacking which cause the sensation of pain.
2. The spinal disc which is a gel-like doughnut (without a hole) in between the spinal bones is the shock absorber of the spine. It is made up of mostly water. If there is dehydration, the doughnut-like disc shrinks and loses its bounce and can slip out of position that may impinge into the spinal chord and peripheral nerves causing severe pain of the back which is called a “slipped disc”. The slipped disc may also impinge a peripheral nerve causing severe pain like in sciatic pains. Maintaining proper hydration will prevent shrinkage of the discs.
3. The discs and the spinal bones are lubricated so it will not rub directly against each other. The lubricant is made up mostly of water. Dehydration dries up the lubricant causing deterioration of the discs and the bones leading to osteoarthritis or rheumathoid arthritis, tendonitis. We take care of changing the oil of our cars better than changing our water.
Drinking 1/2 to 1 OZ of the correct! water will prevent dehydration and acidity of the spine and surrounding areas therefore preventing;

Slipped discs
Muscle pain
Osteoarthritis
Rheumathoid arthritis
Fibromyalgia,
Peripheral nerve pains such as sciatica
Tendonitis, bursitis and the like
Avoiding dehydrating drinks like soda, coffee, tea and alcohol will also greatly help.
