Recently it has been discovered that the brain uses two mechanisms for its energy requirements:
- Sugar from the metabolism of food
- Hydroelectricity from the movement of water through cell membranes
When food is eaten, only 20% of the energy generated is actually used by the brain. The rest will be used up in muscle activity or gradually stored causing potential weight problems.
Scientific research now confirms the existence of this other hydroelectric energy source used by the brain for it’s around the clock activity.
To quote dr Batmanghelidij MD from his book the Body’s many cries for water “…the human body has the ability to generate hydroelectric energy when water by itself passes through cell membranes and turns some very special energy generating pumps very much like the hydroelectric power generation when a dam is built on a large river”
To think that we can generate Hydro electricity that our brains need to work efficiently. That’s something to consider when having your next glass of water ( or two )
“It now seems that the brain depends very extensively on energy formation from hydroelectricity”
The doctor explains that dehydration caused from not drinking enough water has a seriously detrimental effect to normal brain functioning. He says,” with dehydration the level of energy in the brain is decreased. Many functions of the brain that depend on this type of energy become inefficient. We recognise this inadequacy of function and call it depression”.
So the doctor has found that not drinking enough water can be a cause of depression, but this in turn can cause other health complications.
“This depressive state caused by dehydration can lead to Chronic Fatigue syndrome"
In his book the Dr points th the links between CFS and stress and how stress can cause physiological events that cause further dehydration
The answer to this problem is simply to drink enough water to keep the body hydrated. Proper hydration depends on many factors including Diet, Physical effort and environmental conditions etc. |
