Water gives me Heartburn!

I actually had someone say this to me. I could not believe they actually thought it was the waters fault. Imagine a digestive system so messed up that water(which is essential to life) produces indigestion. A system that is so screwed up that pure, clean, clear water pushes it over the edge. Does that sound absurd to anyone else out there?

Let me be extremely clear...Water can not cause heartburn, and if someone says it can either slap them in the face or turn and run as fast as you can because there is something not right with them.

Water is essential to the cells in your body. They need it to function properly. If your cells don't have enough water cells become dehydrated and the membranes become brittle and easily damaged. When cells become brittle they are more susceptible to illness and injury.

How much should you drink? One good way to measure is the color of your urine if its clear you are hydrated. The less clear...the less hydrated you are.

If you happen to get heartburn after drinking some pure, clean, clear water its probably not the water. It was probably the Mickey D's you had for lunch. Think about it. Water is essential, Mickey D's is not.
