MANFAAT MINUM AIR PUTIH

Kira-kira 80% tubuh manusia terdiri dari air. Malah ada beberapa bagian tubuh kita yang memiliki kadar air di atas 80%. Dua organ paling penting dengan kadar air di atas 80% adalah : Otak dan Darah. Otak memiliki komponen air sebanyak 90%, sementara darah memiliki komponen air 95%. Jatah minum manusia normal sedikitnya adalah 2 liter sehari atau 8 gelas sehari. Jumlah di atas harus ditambah bila anda seorang perokok. Air sebanyak itu diperlukan untuk mengganti cairan yang keluar dari tubuh kita lewat air seni, keringat, pernapasan, dan sekresi. 

Apa yang terjadi bila kita mengkonsumsi kurang dari 2 liter sehari? Tentu tubuh akan menyeimbangkan diri. Caranya? Dengan jalan "menyedot" air dari komponen tubuh sendiri. Apa disedot dari otak? Wuiih! Belum sampai segitunya kali, bayangkan jika otak kering, gimana jadinya dunk!!? Melainkan disedot dari sumber terdekat, yaitu darah. 

Darah yang disedot airnya akan menjadi kental. Akibat pengentalan darah ini, maka perjalanannya akan kurang lancar ketimbang darah yang encer. Saat melewati ginjal (tempat menyaring racun dari darah), ginjal akan bekerja extra keras menyaring darah. Dan karena saringan dalam ginjal halus, tidak jarang darah yang kental bisa menyebabkan perobekan pada glomerulus ginjal. Akibatnya, air seni anda berwarna kemerahan, tanda mulai bocornya saringan ginjal. Bila dibiarkan terus menerus, anda mungkin suatu saat nanti harus menghabiskan 400.000 rupiah ato lebih per-minggunya untuk cuci darah. 

Eh, tadi saya sudah bicara tentang otak 'kan ya? Nah saat darah kental mengalir lewat otak, perjalanannya agak terhambat. Otak tidak lagi "encer", dan karena sel-sel otak adalah yang paling boros mengkonsumsi makanan dan oksigen, lambatnya aliran darah ini bisa menyebabkan sel-sel otak cepat mati atau tidak berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya (ya wajarlah namanya juga kurang makan...) Bila ini ditambah dengan penyakit jantung (yang juga kerjanya tambah berat bila darah mengental...), maka serangan stroke bisa lebih cepat datang.

Sekarang tinggal anda pilih : melakukan "investasi" dengan minum sedikitnya 8 gelas sehari – atau "membayar bunga" lewat sakit ginjal atau stroke. Anda yang pilih!

I BELIEVE THAT...

I believe-

that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.


I believe-
that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe-
that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.


I believe- 
that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe- 
that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe- 
that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.


I believe- 
that you can keep going, long after you can't.


I believe-
that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.


I believe- 
that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe- 
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.


I believe- 
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe- 
that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.


I believe- 
that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.


I believe- 
that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.


I believe- 
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.


I believe- 
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe- 
that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.


I believe- 
that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe- 
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. 


I believe- 
that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.


I believe- 
that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe- 

that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you you will find the strength to help.

I believe- 

that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe- 

that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

Send this to the people YOU BELIEVE in. I just did! ^_^
