Whatever It Takes

According to some, water is life.  True! I absolutely agree to this statement.  In so many ways water is so useful and indispensable.   I’d rather live without electricity than without water.   Infact during baptism water is used to symbolize cleansing of our  soul.   We need water to hydrate our body and be in good health.

If your body is not sufficiently hydrated, the cells will draw water from your bloodstream, which will make your heart work harder.  At the same time, the kidneys cannot purify the blood effectively.   When this happens,  some of the kidney’s workload is passed on to the liver and other organs, which may cause them to be severely stressed.   Additionally, you may develop a number of minor health conditions such as constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, nosebleeds, urinary tract infection, cough, sneezing, sinus pressure and headache.

So,  how much water is enough for you?   The minimum amount of water you need depends on your body weight.   A more accurate calculation,  is to drink an ounce for every 2 pounds of body weight.

I just received a text message from a friend and at the end of his text it says….pass this on to people you care for.   Now I’m passing this on through my blog site because I care for you.  Here it goes…..

Correct timing to intake water will maximize it’s effectiveness to human body!!!

*  2 glasses of WATER 30 minutes before meal,  helps digestion.

*  1 glass after waking up, helps activate internal organs.

*  1 glass before sleeping, helps avoid stroke or heart attack while asleep.

*  1 glass after taking a bath, helps lower blood pressure.

Let’s do it!!!!!!

Here’s something I wanted to share to those who are diagnosed of osteoarthritis, gout, and rheumatoid  arthritis.   I am hoping that by this simple rules for diet,  this will  alleviate your painful joints and body as a whole.

For all arthritis cases, follow these simple rules for diet:

1. Drink 8 glasses of filtered water each day.
2.  Limit or eliminate the consumption of red meat, which may be eaten     occasionally if digestive enzymes are used.
3.  Avoid refined sugar.
4.  The vast majority of the diet should be based on vegetables, grains (except wheat), legumes, fruits, nuts, and seeds.
5.  Try to exercise when possible, and reduce body weight.

Here are also Phytotherapy and Herbal Medicines that can help us manage arthritis.

1. Turmeric (curcumin): This has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, lending itself in the support of rheumatoid complaints.
2.  Bromelain: This enzyme is derived from pineapple.  Its action is to decrease inflammation and it works well when combined with turmeric.

In the past, arthritis meant that you would have to learn to live with it and modify your lifestyle.    But today, dietary and lifestyle changes, combined with the use of natural agents, can provide support, and may actually improve symptoms of arthritis.    Ask your pharmacist about the wide variety of high quality natural products available to you.
