Lack of water can lead to dementia! The famous Japanese doctor drinks this good water every day...

There is a new dementia patient every 3 seconds in the world. To prevent dementia, intestinal health is the key, especially drinking water is the key to protecting the intestines, because 80% of the brain is water and the brain is an organ controlled by water. Drinking good water wisely is the key to preventing dementia. The following will introduce what kind of good water is beneficial to health in Japan, a country with long life expectancy.

There is nothing more important to the brain than water.

The functions of water can be divided into 8 categories, including: promoting metabolism, promoting blood circulation, awakening, calming, falling asleep, diuretic and laxative, adjusting physical condition, detoxification and dilution. As soon as the intestines absorb water, it is immediately transported to the brain first, because once the brain is dehydrated, it cannot function normally and people are prone to dementia. It’s not enough to just drink water, you have to drink good water.

Koichiro Fujita, a famous Japanese doctor who has been dedicated to the research on the intestines and drinking water for more than 40 years and visited 60 countries, said in his new book "If You Don't Want to Lose Your Mind, Start with Drinking Water" that no matter which longevity region people come from, they all drink natural water that is rich in minerals and has not been artificially processed.

The drinking water source of Higashikawa Town in Hokkaido comes from underground water from the Daisetsuzan Mountains

Japan also has several longevity areas, one of which is Higashikawa Town in Hokkaido. The residents of Higashikawa Town are famous for their longevity and even once set the record for the second highest centenarian rate in Japan. Higashikawa Town does not have tap water facilities. The abundant groundwater formed by underground streams from the Daisetsuzan Mountains is filtered through special strata of clay deposits to become clean drinking water that is almost uncontaminated by bacteria. Local residents use household pumps to extract groundwater and drink it raw without sterilization or chlorination.

The ideal ratio of calcium to magnesium is 2:1 so that calcium can be effectively absorbed by the body

Under the guidance of local office staff, Dr. Koichiro Fujita entered the water conservation forest about 300 meters in the snow and visited the source of the water. The water is weakly alkaline with a pH of 7.2 and a hardness of 124.7 mg/L, which is medium hard water. The best part is its mineral content, with 1.2 mg/L of magnesium compared to 3.0 mg/L of calcium. The ideal ratio of calcium to fat is 2 to 1, at which calcium can be effectively absorbed by the body.

The drinking water source of Kobayashi City, Miyazaki Prefecture, comes from silica water in the Kitakirishima Mountains.

In addition, Dr. Koichiro Fujita drinks silica water from the Kitakirishima Mountains in Kobayashi City, Miyazaki Prefecture, every day to prevent dementia. The biggest feature of the water here is that it contains 97 mg/L of rich silica. And building strong cell membranes is exactly the job of silica. The 60 trillion cells that make up the human body can maintain a healthy state if each one is strong and healthy. However, silicon dioxide is a substance that is easily lost with age, and its loss is also one of the causes of human aging and physical discomfort.

The cell membrane of human brain cells is also made of silicon dioxide. A lack of silicon dioxide can cause memory loss due to the aging of nerve cells. In addition, silicon dioxide is known to have the effect of maintaining blood vessel elasticity and preventing arteriosclerosis. In addition to the ideal ratio of calcium to magnesium of 2 to 1, this water also contains 160 mg/L of bicarbonate ions, which can eliminate the harmful effects of active oxygen.

The drinking water source of Shikoku Karst Ehime Prefecture comes from rainwater and snowmelt

There are also karst villages in Shikoku, Japan, which is also the oldest area in Ehime Prefecture. The residents of this area have long been famous for their longevity and health. Because the water they drink comes from rainwater and melted snow, which seep into the karst ore layers and become water rich in minerals. The local water hardness is 102 mg/L and the pH is 7.9, and its excellent antioxidant capacity is its characteristic. In addition to calcium and magnesium, it is also rich in silica, sulfate, vanadium and other very beneficial minerals, which is also proof of good water.
