Water/ Hydration How often are we told how important water is to us, and how often do we tell ourselves that we really should drink more water.
Approximately 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated and this may well apply to a good half of the world’s population as well
In almost half of the dehydrated population the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger, even a mild case of dehydration will slow down your metabolism as much as 3%
In a Washington University study the simple drinking of one glass of water shut down the hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied.
A lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue
Research has shown that consuming 8 to 10 glasses of water could have a significant effect on reducing or easing back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers of these conditions
A 2% drop in hydration can trigger short term memory, difficulty with basic mathematics, and trouble with focusing on a computer screen or a printed page.
An innovative teacher who is also a colleague and student of mine at a well known Melbourne boys college has been comparing the effects of consuming plain water, versus water containing 20% Apple and Pear juice with her students, and all students have noticed a remarkable difference in their bodies ability to absorb the mixture of the water with 20% Apple and Pear juice added, and reported requiring less toilet trips than if they drink just plain water.
Did you know that drinking water may not only improve your health, it also reduces the risk of a number of cancers:-
Colon cancer by 45%
Breast cancer by 79%
Bladder cancer by 50%
So are you drinking the amount of water you need every day?
Now even though drinking water is highly recommended it may not be sufficiently absorbed into your body to be of very much benefit.
**Remember that the inclusion of 20% Apple and Pear juice into your water available from your supermarket or grocery store shelf can assist not only with your hydration but also with your body’s ability to absorb fluids into your cells.
As a Vibrational Kinesiologist I check the levels of hydration of my clients as a matter of course, and I have recommended the inclusion of Apple and Pear juice to their water for many years due the improvements it makes in their hydration levels.
I have found especially good results with sportspeople including marathon runners, and soccer and tennis players who report less fatigue, less muscle spasms and cramping and better recovery rates.
Recently I have collaborated with my husband in creating an energetic detoxification program for removing toxins and heavy metals from the body, and we have based this program on specific vibrational sounds and the consumption of water with apple and pear juice added as a medium to ‘flush’ the toxins from the body. It is interesting to note that as the body ‘detoxes’ the level of apple and pear juice added to the water decreases.
