DRINK MORE WATER
Drinking 8-10 glasses of pure water (preferably Steam Distilled) per day is a simple way to avoid: excess body fat, poor muscle tone, digestive problems, toxins, joint and muscle soreness, and believe it or not, water retention.
ARE YOU DRINKING ENOUGH WATER?
1. Most people have no idea how much water they should be drinking, and most Americans live from day to day in a dehydrated state. They don’t drink enough water.
2. Without water, we would be poisoned to death by our own waste products and toxins resulting from metabolism.
3. Water is vital to digestion and metabolism, acting as a medium for various enzymatic and chemical reactions in the body. It carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells through the blood, regulates body temperature and lubricates our joints, (which is particularly important if you’re arthritic, have chronic muscular-skeletal problems or are athletically active.)
4. We need water to breathe and lose approximately one (1) pint of liquid everyday just by exhaling.
5. If you are not in "fluid balance" as the doctors call it, you can impair every aspect of your body’s physiological functioning.
6. Dr. Howard Flaks, Beverly Hills, "As a result of not drinking enough water, many people encounter such problems as excess body fat, poor muscle tone and size, decreased digestive efficiency and organ function, increased toxicity in the body, joint and muscle soreness (particularly after exercise) and water retention."
7. "Proper water intake is the key to weight loss", says Dr. Donald Robertson, Scottsdale, Arizona. "If people who are trying to lose weight don’t drink enough water, the body can’t metabolize the fat. They retain fluid which keeps weight up, and the whole procedure we’re trying to set up falls apart."
