Is Your Family Dehydrated?

Drinking water is a powerful, healing necessity that is a daily requirement! Much of society have come to overconsume coffee, tea and juice, while devaluing the importance of drinking pure water.

Water is essential to the proper growth and thriving of any life. Literally, without it, the body dies...just think, if you stop watering your plant...it dies! Our lives depend on it...all internal organs and body functioning, such as liver, heart, stomach, eyes, intestines and so on rely on water in order to function well.

Because we are all built in different sizes, the amount necessary for each individual is different. It is recommended that you consume 1/2 your body's weight in ounces, for example, if you weigh 150 pounds, 75 ounces of water is what your body requires; preferably distilled water, all of the impurities are removed through distillation. Is it recommended that you sip every 10 to 15 minutes to gradually hydrate the body.

It has been stated that 80% of society is dehydrated. Rule number one for identifying dehydration is thirst. If you are feeling thirsty, you are already dehydrated.

Possible signs of dehydration include:
Allergies
Digestive issues
Dry skin
Blemishes/Skin discoloration
Dark color around the eyes
Brittle/thinning hair
Constipation
Womb challenges
Weight gain
Mood swings

The above may also indicate other challenges within the body.

"Water" with fructose and minerals in it, is not pure water. The body has to process the fructose and minerals, instead of experiencing the natural cleansing and hydrating of pure water throughout the entire body.

Benefits of appropriate water consumption include:
Removing waste and toxins from the body
Improves heart health, resulting in higher energy and circulation
Proper digestion
Assists in balancing your emotions and mental health
Promotes healthy and glowing skin
Assists in keeping the body more alkaline (disease cannot live in an alkaline body!)
Improves dental health
Increases recovery from illness

Choose drinking clean, pure water everyday a commitment within your home.

She Thinks She's Fat...

Met a young girl (about 9 y.o.) recently at the supermarket. I bought food and sat at the counter to eat. Her dad bought her miso soup and she came over and sat right next to me. I knew it was a moment of mutual learning because there were 5 other empty chairs, but, she decided to sit next to me. I felt her wanting to start a conversation with me, I was a bit apprehensive (in my own resistance).

She asked me if the chicken tasted good. Told her yes, it's tasty. My initial impression - she was hungry! I then asked her - how was the soup? Don't remember what she said, but, she did add that it was filling. My impression grew further - she may have an eating/body image challenge. I probed deeper. We engaged in a series of q & a. She divulged that she doesn't eat breakfast, only has a certain portion for lunch and dinner...and she thinks she's fat (as she touches her stomach and thighs). There was no sign of fat on this girl. I "assured" her that she was a healthy size for her age and height. Felt I needed to say more - told her that eating balanced meals was the healthier way to go, than eating food that fills you up.

She listened, not sure how much of an impact my words had. As I spoke, I was reminded that I must adhere to this myself and how countless girls and women try to control their lives via their weight and body image.

She was there to present a learning opportunity to me, as I her.

Her dad came over and as she got up to leave, I reminded her of what I said earlier; she looked at me with nervous eyes, agreed and left.
