Young Lady Drinking Water
We have to drink water!
Since our bodies are about 70 percent water, it makes sense that 70 percent of the food we eat should be high in water content. This is simply a matter of common sense. People who eat foods with high water content will not need to drink as much water.
The living water from the food they eat will perform the function of carrying nutrients to the cells while also cleaning them.
In fact, living water is a far superior way of keeping the body hydrated and cleansed so it may carry out its living functions with as little energy expenditure as possible.
Our lifestyle and demanding careers, leaves little scope for bothering about a healthy lifestyle.
Late night working hours and then the parties after hours take a toll on the skin and weight. Poor eating habits and especially, eating high fat content food items crash all the diet plans in a fraction of a second.
Just as you cleanse your face at the end of the day, and free it from the pollutants that clog the pores to let it breathe again, your body too, needs to be cleansed. We should all drink 8 – 8 ounce glasses of water per day
1| Aim to eat six small meals/snacks a day. Do not go longer than 3 hours without eating.
2| Enjoy plenty of good diuretic fruits in your regular diet. The best are melons and citrus fruits. They are rich in potassium which balances sodium and helps to eliminate fluid.
3| Include lots of good diuretic vegetables in your daily diet. Choose leafy green, celery, cucumber, watercress, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, carrots and onions. Like fruit, most vegetables are rich in potassium which helps to maintain a healthy fluid balance.
4| Include regular amounts of starchy wholegrain carbs in your daily diet. Some people find they do better on rice, pasta, couscous and potatoes, rather than wheat.
5| Include unsalted nuts, seeds, bananas, whole grain unsalted crackers in your snacks.
6| Aim to take in 1200-1350 milligrams of calcium, per day, until your water retention eases. Two 8oz glasses of 1 percent milk (600 milligrams of calcium) plus one cup of low-fat yogurt (415 milligrams of calcium) will give you most of what you need.
7| Substitute salmon, tuna, sardines or any other oily fish for red meat, at least twice a week. Oily fish has numerous health benefits, especially for women who suffer from PMS.<script
