Water can significantly reduce the stress of allergic and sensitivity reactions. Water is the cheapest diluent for environmental pollutants. The simplest and most effective practical measure for reducing the excessive acidotic and oxidative stress on biology in chronic stress is to dilute and eliminate the acidotic and oxidative molecules with increased fluid intake. Parenthetically, one of the fundamental changes of the general aging process is cellular aging. Aged cells are shrunken and dehydrated.
Chronic stress is clearly a state of accelerated molecular and cellular aging.
A state of overhydration is not only desirable, but necessary. One-third of kidney disease in the United States is considered to be iatrogenic caused by prescription drugs. The simplest safeguard against such kidney damage when taking drugs is optimal hydration. I recommend a six-ounce glass of suitable fluid every three hours. Frequent urination is a very small price to pay for upregulated energy enzymes.
