A leading cause and aggravator of chronic health problems is dehydration.

“Low humidity causes static electricity, dry skin and hair, increased susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness, and can allow viruses and germs to thrive. Wood floors, furniture and millwork will split and crack, paint will chip, and electronics can be damaged because of low humidity levels.”

Consuming enough water through diet is the typical solution for staying hydrated. Yet, many people are drinking plenty of water and their bodies are still dehydrated. I palpate bodies for a living. Dehydrated bodies are suffering bodies.

There is a second, primary source of hydration: The air we breathe. Proper humidity levels can make all the difference. Going from the chart I borrowed from Health Canada, the comfort zone is 30-55% humidity.

Do you know what your humidity levels are? Do you know what's stealing the water out of the air you breathe?

I'm not sure when I started to see science and spirituality (the purpose behind religion) as coming together, but I believe it was in 2000 around the time this crazy, wonderful man taught me how to feel the energy of a tree, which was also the beginning of my palpation skills training. By coming together, I mean that much of what researchers from multiple disciplines are learning about the root causes of chronic disease and addiction can now more aptly explain the ancient texts that tried to warn us of this very thing. It has never been about the supernatural or some demanding authority figure. It has always been about helping us to see that which would lead us away from health on any level and that which would lead us toward health on all levels, both individually and as a civilization.

My apologies ... while I was having some fun writing a purposely tongue-in-cheek post about something real and important regarding fat in our diet and the body's desperate need for more than we are giving it ... upon review, it was a terribly written piece! I'll be back later with a proper version, minus the attempt at humor that I clearly failed at, likely from too many episodes of The Americans :D. 'Til soon.
