Your body consists of 70% water
Why so much?
Every day your body uses the equivalent of 10 large glasses of water as you:
• Exhale ½ ltr of water
• Perspire ½ ltr
• Lost 1 ½ ltr in urine and faces |  |
How much do we need each day?
Water filters and purifies your blood 24 hours a day and is your body’s self-healing system. Your kidneys act as filters, extracting toxins and excreting them through perspiration via your body’s biggest single organ – your skin, and also through urination. This purification process can only function optimally if your daily water intake is high enough to remove the daily onslaught of toxins. The equivalent of 2 lts per day is the minimum recommended by most health officials.
What happens when you don’t drink enough water?
Your body’s water supply passes through your kidneys recyling approx 180 ltrs every day! Dehydration significantly stresses the kidneys, the body becomes sluggish and inefficient as toxins build up in the bloodstream. The body’s energy-depleted, dehydrated cells can’t function normally, so health diminishes. Dry skin, dry hair and brittle nails signal a lack of water. Many headaches are actually a sign of dehydration and can often be corrected very easily by slowly drinking 1 or 2 glasses of water.
Water and natural weight management
If you are trying to lose weight, water is your best friend! Water acts as a natural appetite suppressant. Each time you fell an unwanted hunger pang, answer it by slowly drinking a large glass of water. It will refresh you, distract you and fill your stomach. More importantly, hunger pangs are usually your body crying out for water not food!! This is because the brain cannot tell the difference between a thirst signal and a hunger signal. However the slimming works only with still water. Carbonated water and all other drinks have a negative effect.
Dehydration = water retention
If we don’t drink enough water the body will see this as a threat to survival and store water for later use, resulting in water retention. Drinking more water therefore averts this defence mechanism.
Not all fluids hydrate the body
Coffee and tea are dehydrating agents, the more you drink the faster water will pass through your body limit yourself to one or two cups a day.
Diet drinks contain artificial sweeteners. These chemicals trick the brain into thinking “energy” is on the way. When no energy arrives, hunger pangs develop. The confused body and rain is never satisfied until real food hits the stomach, diet drinks therefore actually cause hunger!
Avoid cordials, they are usually sugar-saturated or contain artificial sweeteners. Eat a piece of fruit instead; it’s far healthier, and more refreshing.
Were you brought up to feel safe with fruit juices? Wrong! The real food value and fibre has been discarded, leaving only a calorie-laden fruit-sugar-saturated solution stored in plasticized cardboard along with chemical preservatives. Water is best!
Water is your LIFEFORCE
Drink 2 litres a day, preferably filtered water, avoid caffeine and sugar-laden drinks, drink slowly and enjoy the extra energy and health you will acquire!
