YOUR BODYS MANY CRYS 28/10/03
HOW MUCH.. HOW OFTEN.. QUALITY
Your Daily Water Requirement is determined by your
Current Weight, Activity Level and Climate
Learn to Carry Water Everywhere… car, office, desk, shopping, exercising, church etc.
HOW MUCH
It is Recommended that you drink 40mls of Water per Kg of Body Weight per day.
Eg: If you weigh 60Kg, drink 2.4 Ltr (10 glasses), 70Kg = 2.8 Ltr (11 glasses),
80Kg = 3.2 Ltr (13 glasses) etc. 1 GLASS = 250ml
HOW OFTEN
It is Better to drink Small amounts Regularly as opposed to Spasmodic drinking.
These Daily Amounts must be increased when Exercising and during Hot Weather [ 2 glasses or more] or if you drink tea, coffee or alcohol [refer below].
You may wish to keep a score card to monitor your water intake.
WATER QUALITY: The “Purer” the Water, the Better.
Due to the Chemical nature of Tap Water it is NOT recommended.
Steam Distillation or Reverse Osmosis is Recommended.
Coffee/Regular Tea/Caffeine Drinks/Coke/Alcohol etc [herbal teas are ok]
These drinks CAN NOT be considered part of your Daily Water requirement.
Caffeine, Tannin and Alcohol, are drugs with toxic, addictive and diuretic properties.
They act on the Kidneys and cause increased urination, as your body attempts to flush out the toxins.
This leads to Dehydration.This is why a person is forced to drink so many cups or cans and never feel satisfied.
The Water doesn’t stay in the body long enough so the body is constantly thirsty.
This can result in misinterpretation of the thirst as hunger, leading to over eating and Weight Gain.
NB: For Every Cup or Can you drink, add an extra 2 CUPS of Water
eg 3 CUPS COFFEE = 6 EXTRA GLASSES of WATER.
WATER..BLOOD..LIVER..KIDNEYS.. FLUID RETENTION..TOXICITY..ACIDITY..DISEASE
Every 5-minutes, all your Blood passes through your Liver and Kidneys for Cleansing. Water is used as the Cleanser.
If you’re not drinking enough clean water, your body will retain the dirty water and recycle it to protect you from Dehydration.
This means, every 5-minutes you are cleaning Dirty Blood with Dirty Water.
If this 5-minute cycle continues it leads to Toxicity.
As the Toxicity of your blood increases, your Liver and Kidneys get very Stressed.
Under this Stress, your body retains the dirty water in an attempt to dilute the toxins. This causes Fluid Retention. This Toxic Fluid is very Acidic.
This Acidic State, speeds up the internal breakdown process and increases your risk of Degenerative Disease.
