Water… Which is best?

By on October 26, 2009

Drinking water has never been so easy – pick your size, flavor, additives (oxygen, electrolytes, pH), or even a message of love or gratitude on your bottle. The intention is great, but you can tape the same message on your recycled bottle and have the same effect, without the price tag!

Choices for drinking water include:

  • boiling for 5 minutes
  • store bought filter/bottled water/from a water machine
  • reverse osmosis
  • distilled
  • alkaline water filters
  • visit a natural spring
  • “treat” water with the sun, Himalayan salt, dowsing, etc…

Whichever type of water you choose, drink more! A client of mine lost 40 pounds drinking 1-½ gallons of water a day over a period of three months. This was the missing link in his daily routine. If you hit a plateau in your weight loss regime, try drinking more water. It suppresses your appetite, helps keep you full longer between meals, and helps flush out excess waste.

The amount of water a person needs to drink depends on your source of information and your body weight. Generally, the more weight you carry, the more water you need. Just as, the more you sweat the more water you need. Some health experts say to drink one ounce of water per pound of body weight, while others say to drink half your weight in ounces. Dr. Mercola, states to drink one-quart for every 50 pounds of body weight. See what works best for you. Don’t focus on who’s right or wrong, just drink more! Give your body the moisture it so desperately needs.

Even your vehicle needs water to keep it going. Your plants, trees, grass, fruits, or vegetables will shrivel and die without water – so will your body and brain! Why allow yourself to look and feel old before your time?

A raisin, a prune, and leather are all dried out – YOU don’t have to be!
