WATER
the #1 medicine.
-
Most of us are chronically
dehydrated.
-
Our thirst mechanism is so weak that
we often mistake it for being hungry.
-
Even MILD dehydration will slow down
one's metabolism as much as 3%.
-
Lack of water, the #1 trigger of
daytime fatigue.
-
Benefits of water: Less constipation,
drinking more water a day could significantly ease back and joint
pain.
-
Drinking lots of water decreases the
risk of colon cancer and the risk of breast cancer and less likely
to develop bladder cancer.
-
Here are some very common symptoms of
dehydration.
Fatigue
Digestive discomfort
Headaches
Constipation
Anger
Ulcers
Obesity
Asthma
Allergies, kidney problems, dry skin, pretty much…
WE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT WATER.
-
When you feel thirsty, you already
are dehydrated. You should drink before you are thirsty.
-
Our body is 80% water and muscles are
75%, so without water we have no BODY.
-
So drink more filtered, reverse
osmosis water. Tap water is not the answer, because it has some bad
stuff in it, like chlorine.

How much water do we really need?
|
Water intake = body weight lbs |
|
divided by 2 = ounces to drink |
|
divided by 8 = glasses to drink |
|
divided by 4 = liters to drink |
|
Add
8 oz of water for each cup of coffee or glass of wine you drink |
|
|
Water is
a calorie-free source of fluid your body needs to stay alive. Your heart
rate increases eight beats per minute for every liter of water lost
during exercise. This increased heart rate combined with inefficient
cooling, causes your temperature to rise. This not only compromises
performance, but can lead to heat illness as well.
I recommend drinking at
least 4 to 6 ounces of water every 15 minutes of exercise. |
