Drinking more WATER !!!

WATER !!!

Drinking more water has "cured" many illness. Many times the "illness"
turns out to be not enough water. Water is the elixir of life. You
need PLENTY of it.

HOW MUCH WATER DOES ONE NEED?

Approximately your weight divided by 2. For instance if you weigh 180
- divided by 2 equal 90 ounces of water per day. That's a little bit
more than three quarts.

WHAT KIND OF WATER?

Tap water may not be the best choice. You have no doubt seen the news
reports and docu-dramas where the reporters compared bottled spring
water with tap water and found no difference. I've seen a report where
a bottled water company was actually selling city tap water! What
these reports fail to tell us is that there is a BIG difference
between bottled spring water and
the filtered waters and those waters that have been purified by
REVERSE OSMOSIS and DISTILLATION.

DISTILLED WATER is the same kind of water used in IV's in hospitals.
Distilled water is the same water that we use for steam irons and car
batteries because it must be PURE. Distillation, when combined with
carbon filtration, will kill and remove virtually 100% of bacteria,
viruses, cysts, and will remove heavy metals and inorganic compounds
including minerals, radionuclides, particulates, and organics;
including VOC'S.

Many people claim that distilled water does not contain any minerals. Ok.

Over 95% of our minerals come from our food and less than 5% from
drinking water. You would practically have to drown yourself drinking
water to get just the RDA (required daily allowance) of any of the
beneficial minerals. However distilled water is acidic and is a very
good way to draw toxic poisons out of the body and cooking in it will
pull minerals out of the food. Distilled water is a cleanser of
EVERYTHING good and bad!! It "draws", cleans and detoxifies the body
of heavy metals and normal metals and minerals. It can leach the body
of minerals. Even a pitcher of water left in the refrigerator will
take on the taste of the surrounding food because it has been
absorbing molecules.

The ideal water for the human body should be slightly alkaline and
this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Drinking distilled water is good when one is cleansing or detoxifying
the system for short periods of time (a few days at a time).
Continuing to drink after fasting may not be good for you. Continuous
use of distilled water may deplete your body of electrolytes and trace
minerals. This can cause heart palpitations. Avoid it except in
special circumstances such as cleansing and fasting.

Water filtered through reverse osmosis tends to be neutral and is
acceptable for regular use provided minerals are supplemented. Water
filtered through a solid charcoal filter is slightly alkaline.
Ozonation of this charcoal filtered water is ideal for daily drinking.
Longevity
is associated with the regular consumption of hard water (high in
minerals).

There are some scientists who believe that distilled water will NOT
leach minerals from your body. They claim that there has never been
any documented evidence to prove this claim true. I tend to believe it
could be true simply because of the ability of water to absorb odors
from the refrigerator. The sensation of odor is merely sensing the
tiny molecules emanating from a substance. And distilled water might
be better at absorbing because of it's purity. But I am not a
scientist. Besides if there is a SLIGHT danger of heart palpitations
or improper brain functioning, then it may not be worth the risk.

Bottom line is this; since there is lots of evidence that distilled
water might be too pure for human consumption, and since minerals are
important, reverse osmosis, ozonated and/or filtered water might be
smarter. Distilled water should definitely be used during a system
cleanse.

Always do your own research when concerning your health. Nobody,
including your doctor knows it all. If you have decided to continue
drinking distilled water for it's purity, then it might be wise to
take QUALITY mineral supplements.

ONE LAST THING:

People who drink bottled water whether treated with ozonation, reverse
osmosis, distilled etc, run a risk of absolutely NO FLOURIDE. Some
people believe flouride is toxic and may cause cancer. I'd rather not
have the rotten teeth. But that's just me. Be aware that a lot of
organic toothpastes contain no flouride. So ..... it might be wise to
drink some tap water, just for the flouride. Tea contains traces of
flouride, but I don't know if it makes any difference in the British
peoples teeth even though they consume a lot of tea.

But.....

Until next time remember, most illness (upwards of 80% according to
experts) can be attributed to FOUR important factors that can eaken
your immune system and your ability to fight off disease. In this order:

1. INADEQUATE REST - Research continues to prove, that no two ways
about it, good quality sleep has proven to be the singlemost
important factor in determining or influencing your health.

2. INABILITY TO DEAL WITH STRESS - If you run around all day like a
chicken with it's head cut off, it will increase your chances of
getting ill and will aggrevate, tremendously, any illness that you
already have, no matter what it is. Anxiety, depression, anger, guilt
or also STRESS factors. LEARN TO FORGIVE AND LET GO.

3. INADEQUATE OR IMPROPER NUTRITIONAL HABITS. There are a lot of
practicing vegetarians lately and some load up on the white sugar,
white flour, starches, processed and refined foods. Many whole
foods/alternative medicine type practioneers believe we should be
eating at least 5 times as many fruits and vegetables as meats. Most
experts agree that most diets are seriously deficient in the amounts
of fruits and vegetables that we should be eating to remain healthy.

4. INADEQUATE EXCERCISE - A sedentary lifestyle that does not include
enough excercise will catch up with you. FIND SOME KIND OF PHYSICALLY
ENGAGING ACTIVITY EVEN IF IT'S ONLY WALKING!
