Cellular Hydration

By Annie Sewell, RN

When we think about hydration, our cells do not usually come to mind-but they should.

All life-sustaining activity begins at the cellular level. Our cells are where the food we eat and the water we drink are turned into the energy (metabolism), and one of the most effective ways we can support our cells is by ensuring proper cellular hydration.

Hydrated cells are high-functioning, efficient and able to produce the energy needed to carry out the billions of biochemical functions for maintenance and repair of healthy tissues.

Believe it or not, cells need to maintain their shape to function optimally. Cellular shrinkage can cause cells to malfunction.

When we are dehydrated, our body will pull water out of cells to satisfy the deficit, diminishing cellular function which leads to disease and accelerates the aging.

There are some pretty awesome ways to maintain cellular hydration beyond just drinking water:

• Sunlight

• Muscle mass

• Electrolytes and filtered water

• Nutrient-dense foods

• Intravenous hydration

Sunlight

A by-product of cellular energy production (metabolism) is water. But not just any water, cellular water. An increase in cellular metabolism not only generates energy, but also cellular hydration!

Sunlight is one of the most powerful nutrients for the human body. When sunlight hits the skin and eyes, it is turned into “chemical energy”. These chemicals turn into chemical, hormonal, and neural signals, that provide balance to the entire body. One of the most profound and awesome outcomes of this increase in chemical energy from sunlight is that cellular metabolism is increased, generating plenty of cellular hydration!

Healthy Muscle Mass

Healthy lean muscle provides the body with many profound health benefits, one of the main benefits being an increased capacity to hold onto hydration! The more lean muscle mass you have the better hydrated you will be.

Electrolytes and Filtered Drinking Water

Most tap water is not only low in minerals, but has been treated with chemicals that impede or slow absorption in the gut. Filtering your water and adding electrolytes to your water will improve absorption in your gut. Not only this but the addition of electrolytes will improve biochemical reactions in your body.

Nutrient Dense Foods

Eating a diet that is rich in non-GMO seasonal vegetables, fruits and grains not only provide extra hydration, but provide building blocks for efficient cellular energy production! One of the most nutrient-dense, bioavailable foods on earth are algeas called Spirulina and Chlorella. Right Molecule carries one of the highest quality spirulina/chlorella products on the market. After years of industrial farming much of our produce is nutrient poor, leaving our bodies in a nutrient deficit. Spirulina and Chlorella provide amino acids, omega fatty acids and many vitamins and minerals-all from the same source. Spiraling and chlorella have many live enzymes making these powerful nutrients readily available for cellular metabolism.

Intravenous Hydration

Intravenous hydration is the most efficient way to provide external hydration directly to cells. Intravenous hydration is absorbed 100% because it by passes the gut, and is utilized immediately.

Monthly intravenous hydration once is an excellent way to ensure adequate cellular hydration to supports optimal cellular function.

Cellular hydration is one of the most powerful platforms to optimize cellular efficiency and energy production.
