water...... shari....how's your intake? slugish colon...slugish brain

[Guest guest]

then my next question would b ...watz ur water intake...

How important is water? Half your body weight in ounces every day for proper bodily function.

Drink plenty of water to help your body eliminate waste material. You can’t flush your toilet without water in the tank, right? The body has approximately 100 trillion cells, their make-up being 75% water. Brain cells consist of 85% water. Your body needs water for many vital functions: for maintaining proper cell and body temperature, for cellular/nerve communication, for nutrient absorption, for protein transmission from cell to cell, for all metabolic and digestive processes, and for cleansing and toxic waste removal. Even Mild dehydration — as little as a 1 percent to 2 percent loss of your body weight

— can zap your energy and make you tired.

Cellular dehydration is one of the major causes of bad health. It is estimated that 73 percent of North Americans suffer from dehydration. An adequate supply of pure water is critical. Water transports nutrients to the vital organs in this order - brain, heart, kidneys, liver and lungs.

A shortage of water intake will cause a loss of water volume in the cells. This affects the efficiency of the delivery of nutrients and excretion of waste products. The result is a deficiency of nutrients in the cells and a build up of waste, which is called “body debris”.

Water makes up 83% of our blood. It creates vitality, life, and youth as it flows through us. But we need pure water and it must be continuously replaced. An important function of water is flushing out toxins, foreign matter, and excess body salts. Drinking a glass of water is like taking an internal shower. It is suggested that water should be taken 30 minutes before a meal, to insure that water is not taken from other organs to produce the digestive juices of the stomach. When you can avoid drinking any water (or juice) with your meal that is ideal, because these types of fluids dilute the stomach acids that are designed to break down the food. (Kombucha works with digestive juices, being a ferment itself) Excessive fluids impair digestion, thus allowing much of the nutrient value of the food to be lost. If you have a hard time not drinking

fluids with your meal, try to limit it to about four ounces.

Next to oxygen, water is the substance we need most. When we were born, we were about 98% water. When we reach adulthood we are about 70% water. As we age, our bodies harden as we lose the ability to store and to use water. Aging is literally a slow process of dehydration.

Most people today suffer from chronic dehydration. Our society has lost the ability to recognize thirst is the body crying for water. When we feel thirsty, we drink a soda, most often containing a drug like caffeine or saccharine in it. One of the greatest causes of human illness is water mixed with other substances, especially caffeine, which acts as a dehydrating agent. Aspartame turns to formaldehyde @ 86˚ f, so diet drinkers your poisoning yourselves (mimics and causes 19 different dis-eases like Lupus and MS). In over 4000 products that are even marketed to children for the sole purpose of profit…and they are poison non food.

Individuals’ body weights differ, therefore their water intake should differ also, here is the simple rule of thumb. For every two pounds of body weight, your body should have one ounce of water daily(or half your weight in ounces daily) Some people don’t drink very much water and some don’t drink any water at all. For those of you in that category, it may seem impossible, just do it anyway you can, add lemon, slowly build it to goal. The body will make adjustments to handle the added water. Then what often occurs. You will begin to create a natural thirst for water that nothing else will satisfy. And you will find it easier and easier to increase your intake. In the beginning, you'll go to the bathroom often to relieve the excess water. But in about 4 to 6 weeks your holding organs expand to handle the increased supply, and you will find

yourself going to the bathroom less frequently.

Many find water helps to bring relief (of but not limited) to the following: stomach pains, depression, ulcers, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver and kidney damage, exhaustion, and bodily pains / infirmities of every kind. When you supply your body daily with the proper amount of water, (filtered, distilled or spring [tap is still water, just last on the list the fluoride in our water is a toxic element. You will just experience the relief others have in these areas and many more. When you start to drink enough water.

People do have the right to be proactive with their own health. Nobody cares more about you than you.

This must be why Jimmy Buffett doesn't eat after 3. All those margaritas in his younger years damaged his liver!

I try not to eat anything after 7 p.m., but I should probably shoot for 3 as I go to be so dang early to get up so dang early. And my liver must be inflammed because the last 6 months I've not been able to stick with my exercise program nor have I been able to make it through the day without a nap. I usually get up between 3:30 and 4 and meditate for an hour and then take a couple hour nap!

Thanks Tina!!
