Bergland Aloe Vera
Water is life. Over two-thirds of the earth's surface is covered with water and our body also consists largely of the precious resource. For a newborn, the water content in the body is almost 80%. The body water content of normal-weight women is 50-55% and of men 60-65%. In the course of our lives, however, it continues to decline. Half of the water in our body is apportioned to the so-called intracellular fluid in our cells. The nucleus and the organelles (virtually the organs of the cell) swim in it. In addition, there is the extracellular fluid: it comprises tissue fluid, the blood plasma and the lymph. And then of course there is 5-6 l of blood in our veins.
The cerebrum and the cerebellum need almost 20% of the blood. Since they consist of nine-tenths of water, liquid deficiencies are first noticed there. Because even a small water loss leads to less energy being produced, which is needed to send nerve impulses through the body. When we are dehydrated the ability to concentrate decreases first. That is why one should always have a glass of water within reach during the day. If the body does not get any liquid for a long time, the blood is drained of water. Because it becomes thicker, our heart needs to pump more to maintain the metabolism. Already after 1% liquid loss we feel limp, after 3% we suffer a noticeable loss of strength. 10% water loss leads to headaches and consciousness disturbances. A water loss of 20% or more becomes life-threatening.
An adequate supply with fluid is thus a prerequisite for the functional capability of our organs. This also applies to our largest organ: the skin. If you want to keep a youthful, fresh complexion as long as possible, you should pay attention to adequate fluid intake in addition to proper care. Because our skin must resist many daily stresses. Exhaust gases, dry heating air or direct sunlight are just as responsible for a premature skin aging as stress and an unbalanced diet. In order to support the skin, one should also provide moisture from the outside. Extracts of certain plants are ideal for this. The moisturizing properties of aloe vera enjoy an exceptionally high appreciation in natural cosmetics.
