Water: Pure and Simple
Thirsty? Before you reach for that soda, beer or sports drink,
how about reaching for something that has been around since the
beginning of timewater. Water is one of the most pure, most
essential nutrients on the face of the earth. We drink it, wash
with it, swim in it and spend nine months developing in it.
Every living thing consists of water: plants, animals and
humans; each one of us is made up of approximately 70% water.
Water is an important and precious commodity. Its so important
that only 1% of the earths water is drinkable.
This clear, wonderful fluid is so effective that it can fulfill
many tasks. It hydrates and replenishes lost nutrients; it
carries waste from the body, balances body temperature, and
keeps the skin elastic. Not only does it increase mental and
physical alertness, but it can also provide a person with
increased energy and help prevent illness by flushing toxins out
of the system. That cool, clear substance is also critical to
our survival; we can go for weeks without food but only days
without water.
For weight management, water is essential. Documented in the
article, Weight Control Begins with Hydration by Linda McDonald,
RD, water can decrease a persons appetite because thirst is
usually mistaken for hunger. Those late night stomach rumblings
can be easily quelled by indulging in a glass of H2O. Water can
help reduce fat deposits and eradicate excess fluids and waste,
which, in some cases, people believe the opposite. The
assumption is that too much ingestion of this pure liquid leads
to water retention. This is a fallacy. Linda indicates that when
the body is deprived of water, it will hold on to it because it
perceives the body is in danger of dehydration, hence the
swollen hands, legs, and feet. If water is consumed properly, it
is able to do its job effectively.
Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, MD, author of Your Bodys Many
Cries for Water, has studied the effects of dehydration and the
miracles of water consumption for over 20 years. His studies
suggest that many degenerative diseases and medical maladies are
the result of dehydration. He also points out that pain, not a
dry mouth, is a strong indicator of being thirsty. He maintains
that a well-hydrated body can help cure, prevent and control a
number of medical conditions, such as: diabetes, asthma, angina,
migraines, arthritis, high blood pressure, heartburn, high
cholesterol, kidney stones, and even morning sickness.

article, Your Body Feels Great When You Hydrate by Urologist,
Dr. Lawrence Ross, your urine will be dark yellow if you arent
getting enough water. How much is enough? The rule of thumb is
to drink one-half ounce of water per pound of body weight per
day. If you are more active, drink two-thirds ounce of water per
pound of body weight. Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages do not
count; they can actually act as a diuretic and dehydrate the
body. Sugary juices are also not recommended for hydration as
they may lead to kidney stones. Certain types of food can help
top up your daily water requirements, however, stick to those
foods closest to nature. That is, stick to fruits and
vegetables; they have the most water content of all foods.
Things like bread, for instance, or any other processed type
food will not provide you with adequate water intake.
Okay, so youre now convinced that keeping your fluid levels up
is important for body, mind and soul, but how do you make it a
habit? According to Marianne Woods Cirone in her article,
Benefits of Drinking Water and Health Information on the
Importance of Drinking Water, once you wake up in the morning,
drink one to two cups of water or herbal tea. These first
glasses are so crucial because you are reversing any mild
dehydration that may have occurred overnight, especially if you
cut off your water consumption a couple of hours before bedtime
in order to reduce nighttime trips to the bathroom.
But, wait. What if the thought of drinking water bores you to
tears? Try these tips to spice it up: add a slice of lemon, lime
