Bones, Arthritis and the Body’s Water-Some
Practical Suggestions by Maria Kuman* in Crimson Publishers: Bone Marrow
Research
Our body is mostly water. How this relates to
bones and arthritis? Speaking about the amount of water in the body, we should
acknowledge its decline with aging. According to Russian studies [1], the
amount of water in the fetus is 95%, in the baby- 92%, and it constantly
decreases. Between age 20 and 30 the amount of water in the body is 70%,
between age 40 and 50 it is 50% (this is when the wrinkles appear). After the age
of 70, the amount of water in the body drops down to 30%. This is when the
bones become brittle because there is no enough water in them to keep them
elastic [1].
The bones have tiny canals filled with structured
water. This keeps the bones elastic. When after the age of 70 the amount of
water in the body (including bones) drops down to 30%, the bones become
brittle. That is why it is so dangerous for the elderly to fall because the
chances to break a bone at the fall are high. Hormones rule the amount of water
in the body. With the aging as the number of hormones decline, and so does the
amount of water in the body. How does arthritis relate to water? Arthritis is
more frequent among elderly when the amount of water in the body decreases, but
the toxins deposited in the joints play a major role in arthritis
