This is an issue we have always be told "drink 8
Glasses of water per day" I have been told this since I
can remember. However, how many of you reading this even
come close to this amount let alone drink the proper amount
and the correct kind. Water intake is the first step towards
reducing bodyfat and getting your digestive system working
for you instead of against you.

The many signs and symptoms of dehydration are often missed
by the medical profession and thought of as a disease
condition. We could just be simply dehydration and instead
of advising us on water intake they give up phamasuticals
medicine which makes the signs die down and go away however
they manifest into bigger and bigger problems.

Fluid management is a key way to enjoy life and
dramatically reduce stress and disease.

Water is the catalyst in all metabolic functions through
out our bodies. Your central nervous system is so sensitive
that even a 1% loss of water can effect nerve function and
cause psychological disorders.

In his outstanding book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water
Dehydration", Dr. Batmanghelidj states the number one
problem with all our common day health problems is a lack
of water or hydration. So if you are not drinking the
proper amount water per day you subject your body to many
deliberating diseases. To get more information go to:

Some of these are:

Chronic pain
Colitis pain
Dyspeptic pain
Hiatus hernia
Rheumatoid arthritis pain
Low back pain
Neck pain
Anginal pain
Head aches
Depression
High blood Presume
High blood cholesterol
Excess body weight
Asthma and allergies
Diabetes

All of us have experience one of the above at one time or
another. So the simplest way to feeling better and get
your "insides" working for you is to drink your body
weight in ounces per day.

If you are trying to get the fat off your mid section water
will detoxify your fat cells and allow the toxins to flow
out of your body allowing the fat to be used as fuel.
Proper water intake is essential to detoxification and the
removal of fat stores such as cellulite.

Drink purified water only - NEVER TAP WATER

Either buy bottled water such as trinity, evian, or volvic
you can also if you can not afford these waters all the
time purchase a brita water system.

Again -- your body weight in ounces of water each day. If
you are working out as you should increase this by 1/3.

Fluids are not all the same so do not fall into the trap
that a can of diet soda counts for anything. Cut out all
soda products, coffee and alcohol if you really want to get
in the best shape of your life.

Salt is a substance that has been critized for years. It
plays a vital role in the absorption of all foods. It aids
in clearing up asthma and cystic fibraosus. Prevnets
muscle cramps and is a strong anti-histamine aid.

To get the most out of your water intake.

Upon awakening drink 16 ounces. Make sure it is room
temperature. If it is not your body will keep it in the
stomach until it heats up. This in turn locks down your
pyloric valve between your stomach and your small intestine
and delays the effect.

Always drink a glass about an hour before each meal and 1
glass 1 hour after each meal. The water aids in the
digestion of foods. When food is digested it relies on
water to aid in the transport. Add about 1 tsp. of sea salt
to every 10 glasses of water in you diet. To make this all
work even better make sure you take in an ample supply of
vegetables balanced with protein to regulate acidity
levels.
