The composition of our cells is made of 98 percent water; water is the medium in which all biochemical processes takes place. It is essential to have the appropriate quantity and quality of water for this reason. Eight 8-ounce glasses of water are recommended for proper hydration. If you wait to drink water until you are thirsty, you're already dehydrated. Healthful water should tend toward the alkaline, which helps balance pH levels both within and between cells. That poses a particular problem in areas where acid rain provides much of the local water supply. Limestone filters exists that can transform acidic water to a more beneficial pH. Water softeners improve water surface tension and wetting ability and enhance cell-membrane permeability and cell hydration, allowing cellular wastes to leave and essential nutrients and electrolytes to enter the cells. Filter that soften water and raise its pH can be attached to the main water intake or to individual faucets.
Improving digestive function is another step in a program to deter aging. Simple maneuvers such as chewing food well and avoid excessive carbohydrate consumptioin can help ameliorate leaky gut syndrome, a common condition in old age. Chewing thoroughly aids digestion by giving the gastrointestinal tract smaller bits of food to deal with. Increasing the intake of high-fiber foods is also important. Fiber helps increase the movement of food through the digestive system and prevents the ill effects of having waste material stay in contact with the intestinal walls for longer than necessary to absorb nutrients. The interaction between intestinal wasted and the lining of the lower bowel has been implicated in some cases of the bowl cancer. A healthy complement of intestinal flora( the digestive bacteria acidophilus, bifidus, and lactobacillus) is essential to good digestive health. It is important to remember that antibiotics kill beneficial bacteria while they fight bacterial infections, so if you must take an antibiotic, you should take a digestive bacteria preparation at the same time. Jerusalem artichoke( a starchy vegetable nothing like an artichoke) contains substances that provide a hospitable medium for the growth of helpful intestinal bacteria.
