Water, Water Everywhere!!!

WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE, AND NARY A DROP I DRINK!

Does this describe your relationship to water? Tsk, tsk, if so. The body’s need for water is second only to air, and food comes in a not-all-that-close third!

More often than we realize, we may eat because we think we’re hungry, but in reality, we could simply be thirsty. With the incredible amount of stress and information overload so many of us are bombarded with, it’s no wonder the brain gets confused. Then again, maybe it gets confused because it’s dehydrated. If we can’t think straight when we get overtired, hungry, or thirsty…and it’s our brain that does our thinking…get the connection yet?

If you are trying to lose weight, water is your very best friend. Actually, it’s your very best friend even if you’re not trying to lose weight. Here’s an analogy: Would you rinse your clean dishes in Diet Coke? How about your car? Better yet, what do you think your clothes would look like if the final rinse was with coffee? Not a pretty sight, is it? Our bodies need rinsing too.

When we burn calories, waste matter is created. We need pure, fresh, water to move those toxins out of our system. And we need to consume one ounce for every two pounds of body weight every day. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you need to drink 75 ounces of water. Attempting to rinse with anything but pure, clean water is no different than rinsing your clothes in anything but pure, clean water.

Ever notice the stains in the armpits of white t-shirts? I’ll bet you that person is a heavy coffee or soda drinker! Whatever you eat or drink that does not get “rinsed” out will secrete out of your skin.

BUSTED!!!
