Why Water?
Drink Water – It is Vitally Important!
- Psychological
and environmental stress depletes water from your cells.
- Water
is essential to proper lymphatic functioning and is most easily
absorbed at room temperature.
- All
other liquids are processed as food and do not serve the body’s needs
for water.
- Foods
that contain water, like fruits and vegetables, help lubricate the
system, including the intestines.
- Processed
foods do not contain water and, like caffeinated drinks, can be
dehydrating.
- You
need one ounce of water per day for every three pounds of body weight
and twice that amount in times of stress.
- Water
activates the electrical and chemical action between the brain and the
nervous system, promoting efficient storage and retrieval of
information.
- All
academic skills are improved by taking adequate amounts of water.
- Proper
water consumption gives a heightened ability to move and participate
in activities.
- Adequate
water intake facilitates stress release, enhancing communication and
social skills.
- The
water is a medium which carries the “Chi” energy around the body.
- Water
acts as a cleansing tool and eliminates toxins released during the
“Chi” movement.
- Having
to urinate frequently removes any sludgy material in the interstitial
spaces and also organ sludge that is building up.
- By
drinking an extra four glasses of pure water a day (1 glass before and
after each session) you will be adding greatly to the cleansing
process.
Water Vital for Digestive Process
When we drink one glass of
water, it immediately passes into the intestine and is absorbed. However, within one half hour, almost
the same amount of water is secreted into the stomach through its glandular
layer in the mucosa. It swells from
underneath and gets into the stomach, ready to be used for food breakdown. The act of digestion of solid foods
depends on the presence of copious amounts of water. The acid is poured on the food, enzymes
are activated, and the food is broken down into a homogenized fluid state
that can pass into the intestine for the next phase of digestion.
The efficiency
of the protective shield against the acid in the stomach depends on a
regular intake of water, particularly before the intake of different solid
foods that would stimulate the production of acid from the glands in the
stomach wall. Thus, water provides
the only natural protection against the acid in the stomach, from base
upward.
Instead
of reaching for medication or antacids for digestive distress, reach for a
glass or two of water. After all,
water and only water, is what the body wants, needs, and is calling
for. Dr. F., M.D.
Body Not Sick…Just Thirsty!
Water
is so important. One young man was
literally drowning in toxins and when he was asked, “How much water do you
drink a day?” he responded, ”One glass.”
Was it any wonder that he was having problems! Be certain you are drinking sufficient
water to flush the body out.
You
should be eliminating every day and breathing deeply, along with the water
intake. There are four ways of
eliminating the toxins: Through the
urine, through the bowels, through proper breathing and exhaling, and
through the sweat of the body. That
is how the body cleanses itself.
If you
are not doing these things, you are going to build up toxins, and the
Aerobic Exerciser (Chi Machine) is the easiest way to help you in
correcting that! It assists all the
body systems. Just lay down and
take it easy. Use it every day and
it will do wonders for you. Dr.
L., N.D.
How Much are You Drinking?
- Your
body needs an absolute minimum of six to eight-ounce glasses of water
a day.
- Alcohol,
coffee, tea, and caffeine-containing beverages don’t count as water
- The
best time to drink water is one glass ½ hour before taking
food-breakfast, lunch, and dinner-and one glass 2 ½ hours after each
meal.
- For
the sake of not shortchanging your body, two more glasses should be
taken around the heaviest meal or before going to bed.
The Wisdom of Drinking Water
Water
washes away excess salts and toxins, purifying the body. This is the way it works: A body without enough fluid to flush out
toxins will suffer a toxin buildup and seek to hold water to try to dilute
them. Furthermore, if you are on a
weight-loss diet, water removes waste products, such as ketones, which can
harm normal tissue.
How Much Water Do I Really Need?
Figure
how much water you need with a little simple math: The minimum amount of water required is
a half-ounce to every pound of body weight. For 140 pounds, that’s 70 ounces of water, or close to eight
glasses a day. Strangely enough, a
lot of people have trouble with the idea that eight glasses of water a day
is important. They prefer tea,
coffee, juices, sodas, anything with flavor. But tea and coffee increase your body’s need for pure
water. Fruit juices and sodas have
a lot of sugar and calories, while diet sodas have dangerous additives and
ironically, they tend to add weight anyway.
The solution:
Add lemon or lime to your water and the taste becomes more
interesting.
Don’t Forget to Drink Water!
Exercising
or doing athletic activity consumes a certain amount of energy and
generates heat as a result of burning the fat inside of your body. The effect is a chemical reaction and a
kind of combustion occurs. Our Aerobic
Exerciser (Chi Machine) lets you exercise in comfort without much
perspiration, so four out of ten people forget to drink water. The result can be a bit of pain or sore
throat, or some small rash on the face.
Drinking water will help reduce the “fire”.
