Did
you know?
Reverse osmosis is the finest water filtration method known. This process will
allow the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution. It is used
to purify water and remove salts and other impurities in order to improve the
color, taste or properties of the fluid. R.O. uses a membrane that is semi-permeable,
allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting
other ions and contaminants from passing.
This technology uses a process
known as crossflow to allow the r.o. membrane to continually clean itself. This
is the reason of why an r.o. element can last many years before clogging or
need replacement. This
water purification process requires a driving force to push the fluid through
the membrane, and the most common force is household water pressure or pressure
from a booster pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force and
efficiency.

Water can prevent and alleviate many of our symptoms
WATER
AND STROKE
Along
with its many other benefits, drinking adequate water offers significant
protection against heart problems, including strokes and heart attacks—even
in those who have already experienced a stroke.
Although
strokes are more common in the elderly population, stroke prevention can—and
should—begin early in life.
Preventing
Strokes
Studies
have shown that people who are afflicted with heart disease and/or have
previously suffered a stroke can reduce their risk of a future, fatal
stroke by half just by keeping properly hydrated.
Although
an excellent, simple, preventative measure for everyone, it is of particular
importance for those with, or at risk for, heart disease to consume a
minimum of one cup of water for every 20 pounds of body weight daily.
It is most important to forego the morning cup of coffee in exchange for
a mug or two of water. This is the time of day when our bodies are most
dehydrated, as we do not consume any water while we sleep, as it is important
to increase hydration as quickly as possible.
A
lack of water leads to thickening of the blood, making a stroke all the
more likely. Blood is at its thickest in the morning when we awake, a
leading reason why strokes and heart attacks disproportionately occur
in the morning. Beverages like orange juice and coffee temporarily thicken
the blood, so if you must drink something other than water, wait until
your hydration has been fully restored later in the day.
Water
and Stroke Onset/Recovery
A
person who feels a stroke coming on should drink water as soon as they
begin to feel weak and as they wait for help. Receiving medical attention
as quickly as possible is crucial, as damage to brain cells (which are
irreplaceable) begins as quickly as four minutes after the beginning of
the stroke.
In
an attempt to restore oxygen flow to the brain, the body increases the
size of the arteries around the area of the blockage. The more hydrated
the blood is, the thinner it is, and the easier it can pass oxygen through
to the brain. This, combined with your overall state of health, can be
the key difference between minimal long-term side effects and permanent
disability.
Many
stroke victims experience difficulty swallowing and a dry mouth during
their recovery. Although this usually subsides after a few weeks, it helps
to take frequent small sips of water, or to use a spray bottle to keep
the mouth moist.
