Hello Everyone! Welcome back to another Friday blog. Today I want to look at water and some of its peculiar properties as well as biological or structured water. What is heavy and light water? Why are the different forms of water important to our physiology? What are the consequences of dehydration?
"Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water" (Albert Szent-Györgyi, Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine, 1937)
What is water? We have always been told water is H2O two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen. Is this accurate? Not exactly. Hydrogen itself has 3 isotopes. Water has 4 phases.
- Protium - has a proton and electron and is "light" hydrogen forming light water.
- Deuterium - "heavy" has a proton, neutron and electron so is twice the weight and size of light hydrogen.
- Tritium - "radioactive hydrogen" has a proton, 2 neutrons and an electron.
Water can exist as a gas (vapor), liquid (fluid), solid (ice), gel-like, liquid crystalline lattice (EZ water). "Water is fundamental to all known forms of life, permeating every cell and tissue within living organisms. It serves as the medium for countless biological processes. Water’s unique attributes support life processes." EZ water is structured into hexagonal a tight lattice that excludes or pushes out solutes, toxins and even salt holding a negative charge while water next to it holds a positive charge creating a battery.
There's lots to talk about! So let's delve in!
