Patrick Flanagan, a researcher and inventor, has been searching for the fountain of youth throughout his life. He believes it exists and claims that the key to longevity lies in what we drink, not just what we eat.
The Importance of Water
Flanagan emphasizes that water is the most crucial nutrient for our bodies:
• 🧠 The average brain is 90% water
• 💪 The average body is 70% water
• 🦴 Even bones are about 65% water
He argues that the quality of water we drink is more important than any other substance we consume.
Water’s Unique Properties
Dr. Colanda, inventor of the world’s first snow-making machine, shared insights with Flanagan about water’s unique properties:
• 💧 Water is different everywhere in the world
• ❄️ Snow crystals contain hollow tubes with circulating liquid water
• 🌡️ The lifespan of snow crystals varies based on the water source
The Quest for Longevity
Dr. Colanda studied water from five locations where people live over 100 years with excellent health:
• 🏔️ Hunzaland
• 🇵🇪 Peru
• 🇲🇳 A place in Mongolia
He found that snow crystals from these areas had longer lifespans compared to those from major cities like Chicago or Paris.
The Mantra Connection
Flanagan’s quest for the fountain of youth began at age 17 when a yogi from India gave him a mantra:
• 🧘♂️ The mantra is “Om”
• 🎵 It’s meant to resonate throughout the body
• 🧠 Vibrations stimulate spinal fluid and brain ventricles
Additional Facts About Water and Longevity
• 💦 Blue Zones, areas with high concentrations of centenarians, often have unique water sources
• 🔬 Some researchers believe that structured or “fourth phase” water may have health benefits
• 🌿 Certain plants and foods can help structure water in the body
• 🧪 Hydration at the cellular level may be more important than overall water intake
• 🔋 Proper hydration is crucial for mitochondrial function and energy production
While some of these claims are controversial and not fully supported by mainstream science, they represent ongoing areas of research in the quest for understanding longevity and optimal health.
