                 Have FUN this summer and DRINK UP!

Water the medium  that delivers nutrients  to cells and transport toxins out of tissues .

Most people know they SHOULD drink 8X8oz. of water/day, as recommeneded by the western medical system;  this recommendation was started by the bottled water companies, therefore has no scientific basis…

SHOULD is the keyword here, because in reality, most people are walking around in a state of DEHYDRATION.

*I see this everyday, day after day in my office, when I do the BodyScan-bio-feed-back energetic device I use regularly.

*the beauty of the human body is that it get used to a state of dehydration and adjusts by lowering  it’s water requirements, therefore  leading to chronic disease.

There is  biological “formula”(mathematical and quite precise) regarding one’s necessary amount of water per day… My “rule of thumb” for water requirements has long been – weight in pounds / 2 = oz. of water / day. Caffeinated, alcoholic and many carbonated beverages have a diuretic effect and actually increase the daily fluid requirements.

One should choose pure (that would take up another article) water or high quality sport beverage in some circumstances.

Unless you weigh 128 lbs., 8 glasses of water ( 8oz each) per day is not enough!

Especially when the women’s average size in N.Am is 14!
