Most people do not realize that the skin symptoms they see in the mirror and the fatigue they feel result from nutrient deficiencies that worsen cellular dehydration. Clinical studies have shown that too little of certain nutrients can increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and premature aging. All of these then exacerbate cellular dehydration further. In my own studies, I’ve recorded how nutrient deficiencies result in low Phase Angles, low cellular water, and high “aging” water—the kind stuck outside cells where it doesn’t belong.

About 80 percent of Americans allegedly try very hard to eat healthier, about 10 percent say they’re “always successful,” and yet the majority of us are overweight or obese—and chronically dehydrated. What if we’ve been focusing on the wrong thing? What if, instead of thinking about limiting grams of fat or which carbs to avoid, we simply ate the foods that feed our cellular membranes and encourage healthy cellular water? I think we’d see a change, and many of the problems about weight would take care of themselves. Correction: I know we’d see a change because I’ve watched hundreds of my own patients do just that.

The problem with most diets (even ones where you’re simply trying to eat better regardless of weight) is that they tell you what not to eat, which often deprives you of critical nutrients and your emotional stability. Thanks to the media and recent diet books, you understand now that trans fats, refined sugar, sodium, and processed and classic fast food should be regulated in your diet. You don’t need another book to tell you that. But I find that people forget to consider what they could be missing in their wholehearted attempts to shape up and trim down. And yes, what you could be missing probably includes healthy sugars and healthy fats. There’s nothing more dehydrating than going on a nonfat, low-carb diet taken to the extreme.

It’s really true that we are what we eat. If you performed a complete chemical analysis of your body, the report would list materials similar to those in foods: fat molecules, carbohydrates, protein complexes, and vitamins and minerals that help you to metabolize food and generate the energy you need to live. Think of the body as a self-maintaining factory; it is constantly regenerating itself down to every cell. Each month we renew our skin, every six weeks we have a new liver, and every three months we have new bones. To renew and rebuild these organs and tissues, we need to supply our bodies with the elements that have been lost as a result of constant use, degeneration, or aging.
