By drinking enough water, you can help control your type 2 diabetes symptoms. The key is being sure that you are drinking enough water - and you can really tell when is happening. However, we know that nearly every person in the world is at some level of dehydration.

Most pain and disease can be traced to dehydration. You are made aware of this crisis level need of water by localized pain, such as joint pain, heartburn, migraines, even angina pain. Water isn't evenly spread around when there isn't enough in the body. All the body works, but certain parts don't receive enough to work well. Toxic wastes build up, metabolism doesn't operate properly. Nerve endings register the negative environmental changes in the specific area. This is interpreted as pain in the conscious brain. Build up of these toxins over time results in disease.

A little bit of sea salt in water is an effective treatment. It has to be just water. Drink products with sugar, caffeine, fruit juices, and other ingredients cause your body to treat the fluid differently. This step is needed because the body can only use water to make up the difference. Removing the materials in drinks other than water causes the rehydration process to not work. The sodium and chloride that makes up the sea salt is used by the body to make electrolytes. One major use of electrolytes is to transport glucose into cells after insulin opens the door.

The 'lack of water budget' is controlled proportionally - 66% of the lack of water is removed from the interior of individual cells, 26% from the exterior of the cells, and 8% of the water is taken up in the vascular (blood vessel) system. Outside of a laboratory, it is impossible to measure this difference in moisture. The result of this water management system in some people can be diabetes. Insulin release is slowed to control the opening of the doors into the cells for water. The cells that get their full ration of water are selected, with one group being the brain. The rest of them then dry out, causing faster aging in them. Wrinkles are just one of the results of this event chain.

A material that causes your body to not leak fluid is called an antihistamine - this is the action that most drugs are designed to do, on some parts of the body better than others in both direct and indirect fashions. A couple of examples of these manufactured drugs are anti depressants and pain medications. These things are made to stop an immediate problem, but don't really deal with the reason the fluid is leaking out of the cell in the first place. Medical personel, in the case of emergency, connect the victim's blood system to a source of salt water (saline solution). This antihistamine action is also created, on a much more basic level, by having enough water in you. But why have a medical community if all you need to know is to drink enough water everyday? Perhaps profit is the reason.

So the moral to this story is simple. Drink enough water. The easy formula to do this is take your weight in pounds, divide it in half, and convert it to fluid ounces. This is the amount of water you need to drink a day. If you weigh 200 pounds, the number is 100 fluid ounces, a bit less than a gallon. Over time, you will find yourself avoiding pain, disease, and perhaps an early death. I've been doing this for quite some time, and I've had great results (like stopping type 2 diabetes symptoms) and I'm not going to stop. I've talked with doctors on this and have been assured that this amount of water daily will not harm nearly anyone. Remember that nearly everyone has an internal drought, so what can you lose?
