Living in a dry climate it is not uncommon to wake in the morning with a dry throat, nose, lungs, and skin. But I've been testing things again and discovered something interesting to me at least and if anyone else is reading this maybe to you too. Doctor Wallach informed me that dryness in the body or dehydration happens when we eat rancid, burnt, or old fatty acids since fatty acids make up the cell membrane of each cell in our bodies we need the best Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids we can get. Fatty acids also electrically insulate our nerves as well as insulate our bodies from the cold and our organs from physical shock from jarring and impact. A quick glimpse at Omega-3 fatty acids in the body is quite revealing.
This is what I learned over the last few months. I have been taking Wallach's approved nutrition (part 1 & part 2) in the quantities I need for my weight as often as I can afford them which is easier to do as I feel better and can work longer and harder with them.
However, as of late I have been lacking in the EFAs or Essential Fatty Acids area by design to see what symptoms of my former broken down existence would return. The first thing I noticed was my brain power. I started losing words and ideas off the tip of my tongue again. My joints started hurting and creaking again. My bones reacquired their dull discomfort once more.
Now this is where I'm going with this. The mere chemical reaction of breaking down fat isn't keeping me hydrated anymore. Fatty acids are composed of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. When we metabolize fat we get water and carbon dioxide. This water helps keep us hydrated if we have the right fatty acids guarding our cells. When we have leaky cell walls holding our protoplasm we need to drink more water.
Summary
Good EFAs keep your nose moist at night.
