Water is an essential macronutrient. Water is nature's best diuretic. It is the most efficient detoxifying agent in the human metabolism. Water is the simplest solution to acidotic overload in conditions of stress. 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.
