STRUCTURED WATER AND THE SENIOR

According to the ThinkQuest organization "One of the main causes of dehydration is overexposure to the Sun. Athletes, or anyone who spend long hours in the Sun, or places of high temperature, run the risk of dehydration.

"Newborn infants and people over the age of 60 are especially susceptible to dehydration."

Dehydration is basically caused when the body loses water content and essential body salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium bicarbonate, and phosphate. Water makes up about 60% of a man's weight and 50% of a woman's weight. This proportion has to be kept within a very narrow limit to maintain a proper balance in the cells and body tissue. A person suffering from dehydration will display the following symptoms:

A dry mouth with sticky mucus membrane in the mouth. Decreased urine output or dark urine. Sunken eyes. Wrinkled skin which may lack its normal elasticity and sag back into position slowly when pinched into a fold. Fatigue. Dizziness confusion and coma. Low blood pressure. Severe thirst. Increased heart-rate and breathing.

If you suffer from any of these symptoms we recommend you immediately seek a physician's assistance. However even if you just feel thirsty your body is already giving you the early warning signs for dehydration. If you drink just one pint of Structured Water you will restore your body's hydration balance. For maintenance one liter at a minimum per day is recommended (if you are over 60 we recommend two liters per day at a minimum). The Bio Disc
