Dear Steemian friends,
As you knew, dew is one of the natural wonders that is Bestowed by God for humankind.

According to the Wikipedia, the meaning of dew is the water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening due to condensation. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets.

When temperatures are low enough, dew takes the form of ice; this form is called frost.

Because dew is related to the temperature of surfaces, in late summer it forms most easily on surfaces that are not warmed by conducted heat from deep ground, such as grass, leaves, railings, car roofs, and bridges.

Dew should not be confused with guttation, which is the process by which plants release excess water from the tips of their leaves.

Formation

---

The formation process of dew is also very remarkable and awesome. Sometimes we get confused how it can happen, when an area is hit by drought, but when the morning comes the dew can still be found in the foliage.

Truly it is the power of God that can not be reached by humans. Nothing is impossible for Him.

Still according to wikipedia. The process of formation of dew is as follows:

Water vapor will condense into droplets depending on the temperature. The temperature at which droplets form is called the dew point. When surface temperature drops, eventually reaching the dew point, atmospheric water vapor condenses to form small droplets on the surface. This process distinguishes dew from those hydrometeors (meteorological occurrences of water), which form directly in air that has cooled to its dew point (typically around condensation nuclei), such as fog or clouds. The thermodynamic principles of formation, however, are the same. Dew is usually formed at night.

Summary

---

Although both to drink, water can be processed in many ways. Some of them claimed to have advantages, even certain health benefits. One of them is dew.

At the time of oxygenated water in the market, many people responded with skepticism (doubtful). Efficacy is heralded overvalued.

After the era of oxygen water has passed, now comes the newest product that is water dew in the bottle (purence dew drinking water). Processing using the technology named Systemized Dew Process (SDP), that utilizes air humidity.

This technology is claimed to be environmentally friendly, as it does not reduce the groundwater supply. This also makes the product is marketed at a price more expensive than bottled drinking water.

"Compared to drinking water in general, the chemical structure of the dew does not have any difference," said LIPI researcher Leonardus Broto S Kardono Ph.D who confirmed that wherever the water structure is H2O, in a seminar on R & D DI, Wednesday (14/4/2010) as reported by detik health.

Preclinical test conducted by Puslitbang Biomedis and Pharmacy of Ministry of Health RI and PT Divine Eternair Water Indonesia show the benefits of water dew in helping body functions include:

• Lose weight
• Increase drinking desire
• Lower cholesterol and LDL levels
• Benefits of thinning blood
• Stretching bowel movements.

The results of this research that later distinguishes the dew water with bottled drinking water. Dew water was listed as a functional beverage. The dew is claimed to be efficacious as it is free of inorganic minerals such as sodium or chloride salts, free of heavy metals such as lead and mercury and free of contamination such as pesticides.

What is clear as quoted from healthy eating, it is very important to keep the fluids in the body every day and pure water alias without the addition of chemicals or sugar is the best. So whatever the water as long as it is clean, good for health body.

Professor Hiromi Shinya MD, an enzyme expert who is also professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine USA said, if the water needs are met properly then you will rarely get sick.

When water requirements are met, water will moisturize areas within the body that are vulnerable to bacteria and viruses such as the bronchial area (respiratory tract), gastric and intestinal mucosa. That way the immune system becomes active so that these areas become difficult to attack virus or bacteria.

Conversely, if the water is consumed less, the mucous membranes in the bronchus will become dehydrated and dry out, where sputum and mucus are produced in the bronchi. If there is not enough water then the phlegm and mucus will stick to the bronchi which then becomes the breeding ground for viruses and bacteria.

Water is important for the body. If no water people are not only malnourished, but dirt and toxins will also be collected in the cells and can not be removed. The bad effect, the accumulated toxins that will damage the gene cells that one of them can cause the change of genes into cancer cells.

Myth or Fact?

---

Besides some facts that have been through the research process, as mentioned above, some other rumors are also always associated with dew water.

What are they and Is that true: Fact or myth? Here are the summary:

1. Morning Dew Could Stimulate and Encourage Babies to Walk

Since the beginning of pregnancy, the pregnant women are often bombarded with myths and advice on how to care for and raise a baby. Starting from our own mother, mother-in-law, sister-in-laws and even the neighbors also participated in lecturing or advice. Many myths that can be justified there are also not based on facts. Which advice should we follow?

One advice that is often recommended is to bring out the baby to play in the morning to the grass that there is water dew, so he can learn to walk faster. Is it true?.

Correct. Alloy between the cold morning dew and grass texture can indeed stimulate the nerves that exist in the sole of the child's foot. This stimulation will be forwarded to the brain. When her feet are placed on the grass, the child will feel comfortable (as if being massaged) and it will provoke the baby to move. Read the source here.

So, I underline this myth as a FACT

2. Dew is Efficacious to Cure Irritation Of Eyes

Dew water that settles in the shoot of bili leaves (I do not know what the name of this plant in English or Latin) is very efficacious to treat mild and moderate irritation of the eye (red eye). The Acehnese used to use it as a remedy to treat red eyes or when there was eye irritation before the medical world developed as it’s today, and I was one of those who had proved it when I was a child. Read the source.

So, I underline this myth as a FACT

3. Dew Is Used by Ancient People to Enlarge Their Penis or Breast

Many stories and saga circulated that ancient people often use dew water to raise their vital tools, both men and women.

They use the dew by lubricated to their penis or breasts to enlarge or to be longer, then the penis or breast are slowly sequenced. Mountain dew was believed more efficacious for this therapy.

Recently, the behavior of ancient times began to be discussed and re-practiced by modern humans, after the chemical drug gives bad impacts (has side effects) and harmful to the health of its users.

Although there has been no specific research findings for this case, but when referring to the fact number 2 above, it can be concluded that this myth is quite reasonable and approached the facts scientifically.

Read the source here and here.

So, I underline this myth as a FACT

Is there another myth you know? Let's share it here. Who knows it is not just a myth but a valuable knowledge that is beneficial to others in need.
