Too Little Will Make You Sick... So Drink Up! Holistic Wellness TIPS, Issue #001 July 14, 2010 |
|
Hi, Welcome to the first issue of Holistic Wellness TIPS! I'll share easy tips and guidelines to help you maintain wellness and deal with health issues naturally. Today I encourage you to drink up! The most important habit you can develop is to consistently drink enough pure water. All your other wellness habits will be much less effective if you're even mildly dehydrated. With chronic dehydration, even the best food can't be adequately digested and toxins can't be eliminated as easily. Your body won't be able to efficiently produce the energy units needed to run your organ systems and power your muscles. In This Issue:

Cure and Prevention Is EasyPreventing or reversing mild to moderate dehydration is simple! Drink a minimum of 8 to 12 eight-ounce glasses of filtered water every day. A simple hydration calculator is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half for the minimum amount in ounces you need to drink every day. Eight ounces = 1 cup or glass. You may need to increase your total fluid intake depending on your activity level, the temperature of your surroundings, or your health status – such as fever, diarrhea or vomiting. Pregnant or breast-feeding women also require additional fluids. Drinking Tips

There are many variations, but here's a basic recipe to start with. Please use organic fruit and base liquid.
Smoothie Tips: OK folks… that's it for now. Bottoms up! I look forward to hearing from you. Your feedback and questions will help me determine the subject matter of future issues. Take care ~ Enjoy life ~ Stay healthy! Nony |
