Water absorption

[Guest guest]

hi, everyone:

I tend to swell if I just sip at my water; I have compromised curculaion in my

legs; I was swelling very badly, but I knew I needed to keep my water

consumption up.

I was attending a weight loss group at the time, (over 10 year ago) and there

was another lady who was older than I was, and she was having the same issue,

but her circulation in her legs was not compromised as mine is.

SHe talked to her dr, and he told her that when she drank her water, to drink it

all at one go...not to sip iut, but to drink a cup of warter without pause.

Then, in about an hour, do the same thing again.

HE wanted her to work up to wher eshe was drinking 2 cups at a time like that,

and do it a few thimes a day, and to drink more than the recommended 8 8-ounce

glasses of water a day, because she was losing weight and she needed to help her

body flush out those waste products; she staredt dloing that the day after a

meeting, an when we met the next week, she reported she was not swelling

anymore.

I started doing the same thing, and I still do it; I drink 2 to 3 cups of water

at one time and do it again a few hours later...it works for me, so it might be

something to consider... -- Kim in Texas
