With half of Australia being ravaged by bushfires, dust storms and record high temperatures over the past few months, WATER has been a much needed comodity.
The other need for water as a magical and simple de-stressor for our human population and the lives of our vast wildlife populations has received little attention.
Lesley Una Pierce, Director of The Nutritional Healing Foundation and her book, ‘The Life-Saver’s Guide to Water – The Elixir of Life’ says, “In a nutshell, STRESS is the most dehydrating thing of all. Our cells will be stressed because they are not getting enough water. It is said that we can create more toxicity from our thoughts and bottled up emotions than we ever could from our food.” Most people today just don’t drink enough clean spring water or filtered water
Tips in hydrating your body for maximum performance…,
- Drink 8 glasses or 2 litres of water per day
- Sipping water slowly throughout the day serves your body better
- Replace lost fluids after exercise with plenty of water
- Cold water is absorbed 20% faster by your brain than room temperature water
- Drink alkaline water as your preference. ‘Fiji’ is the only bottled water that is alkaline
- Install a water filter with the addition of an alkaline filter
- Add lime or lemon juice to your water, especially your first glass each morning
- Avoid diuretics such as coffee, strong tea, soft drinks and alcohol
- Drink before you feel thirsty
Drinking water at the correct time maximises its effectiveness on the human body…
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath or shower helps in lowering blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed at night helps to avoid stroke or heart attack
