I moved from the Midwestern U.S. to the high desert mountains of Utah. There I was introduced to an invention called a sprinkling system. Fancy sprinklers were on timers. Some less fortunate folks had to go out everyday and turn their sprinklers on and off.
My yard growing up had always been watered by the sky so this whole sprinkler business seemed rather unnatural to me. It seemed more reasonable to plant native grasses and let the sky water them.
Because of a world opened up to me by the internet, I learned about xeric and drought tolerant plant life. Xeric plants thrive in dry/drought conditions. They stay green and bloom nicely. On the other hand, drought tolerant plants survive drought by going dormant. They stop blooming and may turn brown.
You and I are drought tolerant, which is good since we have subjected our bodies to constant drought conditions.
What constitutes a bodily drought? If your urine is yellow instead of colorless, you are living under drought conditions. If you are drinking less than one half your body weight in ounces daily, you are living under drought conditions. We are talking water here. Diuretics like juice, coffee, tea, and soda do not count. Drinking these liquids requires you to add even more water to your regimen. (http://www.mercola.com/article/water.htm)
We may be drought tolerant, but we are not xeric. We can survive, but we do not thrive in drought. In a sense, we stop blooming and turn a shriveled brown. Our bodies react to drought with increased inflammation, allergies, pain, fatigue, depression, heartburn, high blood pressure, and migraines. The excess cytokines inflammation are stimulated as a result of increased histamine production.
When in drought, our bodies produce a chemical called histamine. This is because histamine is in charge of water regulation in the body. Antihistamines, which are prescribed for allergies, depression, and pain, reduce the number of histamines in the body. Antihistamines treat the symptoms of drought. They may work effectively, but the best antihistamine is water. (http://www.watercure.com) Heidi Whitaker is an author and speaker on the topic of nutritional support of autoimmune disease.
