What impact does food advertising have on the increasing incidence of nutrition related health issues in Aus?

We Answered:

Food advertising persuades the gullible and the stupid to buy and eat things just because they saw them in an advert, without regard to whether that was a smart thing to do.

And if Aus has as many gullible and stupid people as we do here in the USA, the food advertisers are doing a booming business.

How do electrolytes and water affect health nutrition/food nutrition of humans?

We Answered:

The human body is about 72% water and an electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium. If you decrease either level you have a problem.

Water is critical to maintaining electrolyte levels. The first stages of dehydration are feeling sick and muscle cramps. You also have problems processing information. Everything in the body is controlled by the electrical signals sent back and forth to the brain. If your body can't conduct these electrical signals, you have problems. Water & electrolytes handle these signals.

Water is also an important part of the digestive process. It is needed to process food and flush the intestines. Blood is made up of plasma which is also mostly water and so is sweat which helps to regulate the body's temperature. Water is a part of every process in the body.

The proper amount of food depends on your size and the items you eat and the quality of those items. Proper foods are the ones that contain the most minerals and vitamins (fruits, vegetables, nuts). Protein should come from fish as the oil in fish is very good for you. The only drink the body requires is water.

The biggest problem we face is the depletion of minerals & nutrients in the soil we grow our food. There are also problems with pesticides and herbicides. Water is polluted and chemical laden. Fish swim in this water.

So the best is organically grown foods, fish raised in filtered water and Good, high quality drinking water. The best is ionized, filtered, alkaline water.
