The Power of Hydration: How Drinking Water Detoxifies & Energizes Your Body
People underestimates the power of water. Water is the nature’s best solvent, including for the toxins inside our bodies. As my Robert Burkosky said: “the best solution for pollution is DILUTION”
Also, water is extremely crucial within our body. There are approximately 10 billion biochemical reactions per second in the human body, ALL of which are dependent of water.
So it’s very important that we keep our bodies well hydrated with good quality water to clean ourselves up from the inside.
Below are a list of suggestions about hydration:
Drink your weight in Kg multiplied by 0.03 litres in water daily (i.e. 70kg x 0.03 = 2.1 litres per day)
Drink that amount of water only. Teas, juices or any other drinks containing water don’t count
If the liquid you are drinking has a colour to it, or you cannot see through it, it will have to go through your digestive system and not be processed as water
Most of drinks have either sugar or stimulants such as caffeine so they will leave you tired (even though you don’t realise) and/or will affect your concentration
Drink your water at room temperature if possible. Body only processes the water until is at body temperature so the colder it is the longer is going to sit in your stomach before being processed
Ensure water is as pure as you can get as you don’t want your body to make extra effort to process it. Make sure you either filter it with a good quality filter or you get your water from a home delivery company that provides water from fresh springs.
Town water is typically full chemicals, waste products, fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides from water run-off
Town water has also chlorine and fluoride that are not meant for human consumption
Keep your water in a cool dark place - gives it more strength
If you have further interest on learning about the importance of water for the human body, I strongly recommended the following book: The Water Wizard, The extraordinary properties of natural water by Viktor Schauberger .
