The Holy Grail Nutrient Your Body Needs (Part 2)

The Holy Grail Nutrient for Your Brain and Body

Welcome back to the Restorative Longevity Podcast, where we discuss practical strategies for achieving restorative longevity. I’m Jimmy Yen, the Acu Sensei, and in today’s episode, we’re diving into the second part of the Holy Grail nutrient your body and brain need: hard water.

Episode Highlights

What Type of Water Does Your Brain and Body Need?

• The answer is hard water, or water that contains natural minerals like calcium and magnesium.
• Avoid “dead water” like purified or reverse osmosis water, which lacks essential nutrients your body needs for optimal function.

Key Insights:

1. Hard Water Fuels Your Brain:

   • Your brain is 80% water, and hard water supports its functions better than nutrient-deficient alternatives.
   • It provides the minerals needed for hydration, energy production, and waste elimination.

2. The Problem with Common Drinks:

   • Soft drinks, coffee, beer, and even most bottled water are nutrient-poor.
   • They may quench thirst temporarily but do not nourish your body at a cellular level.

Key Discussion Topics

• Why Hard Water Matters

  • Hard water contains natural minerals that support metabolic functions and prevent dehydration at a cellular level.
  • Nutrients in hard water help your body cleanse toxins, improve circulation, and optimize organ function.

  What to Avoid

  1. Purified or Reverse Osmosis Water:

     • Removes all minerals, leaving it nutritionally void.
     • Drinking reverse osmosis water exclusively can lead to persistent dehydration symptoms.

  2. Genetically Modified (Infused) Water:

     • Bottled water with artificially added minerals doesn’t work as effectively as naturally occurring hard water.

  3. Sugary Energy Drinks:

     • Loaded with artificial sugars and chemicals that harm your body in the long term.

Practical Tips for Better Hydration

• Spring Water:

  • Look for naturally sourced spring water, like Fiji or other mineral-rich brands.
  • These waters retain the natural minerals your body needs for optimal function.

• Coconut Water:

  • A natural alternative for hydration with added electrolytes, ideal for athletes and outdoor workers.

• Aloe Vera Juice:

  • Composed of 99% water and packed with over 200 active components, including vitamins and minerals.

How to Customize Your Hydration

• Use a gravity filter like a Berkey to clean tap water without removing minerals.
• If you dislike plain water, infuse it with natural fruits like lemon, orange slices, or cucumber for flavor.

Hydration Hacks

• Drink room temperature or warm water to improve circulation and digestion.
• Avoid cold water, which slows down your body’s natural processes and can cause stagnation.

Bonus Insight:
You can also eat your water. Fruits like watermelon (93% water), strawberries (92%), and cucumbers (96%) are excellent sources of hydration. Add these to your diet to support your kidneys and urinary system naturally.

Takeaway Message:
The quality of your water matters. By choosing hard water and avoiding nutrient-deficient drinks, you can improve your brain performance, energy levels, and overall health. Restorative longevity starts with simple, intentional hydration choices.
