WATER REMEDIES

In conclusion to the topic I've been discussing for a while now, emphasis will be placed on the healing properties of water for common illnesses. One of today's most overlooked natural cure is the healing power of water.

Water remedies that foggy feeling when you wake up. Upon rising in the morning head straight to the kitchen and drink a full glass of pure, clean water. Do this before that cup of coffee, hopefully its tea but regardless, drink that glass of water before your regular morning beverage.

Ever notice that your urine is a darker colour in the morning? Dark urine is a sign of dehydration whether it's morning, noon or night. Optimally, urine should be light yellow or straw-coloured although if you're taking a vitamin B supplement the colour may be a bright fluorescent yellow as your body excretes the excess it cannot use. If your urine is continually highly discoloured even after rehydrating (drinking water) repeatedly, it is advised that you seek the advise of a doctor. Dehydration itself can cause a multitude of symptoms which include headaches, muscle/joint pain, heartburn, fatigue and even depression. Are you surprised to know that water cures all these?

Everyone knows that the human body is made of 60 to 70% water but did you also know that the brain is said to be 80% water? That our bones are 10 to 15% water? Knowing this, doesn't it make it perfect sense that water is vital in keeping your whole system balanced?

Water is a natural conductor of energy so when those hunger pangs, yawns and fatigue comes calling...yep, a glass of water should do the trick! The healing power of water remedies makes perfect sense. Think  about it! Our bodies are about 70% water, our lungs are 90% water, our brains are 80% water, our blood is 83% and even our bones are 10% water. Every function of our body depends on clean water to function and operate effectively.

Dehydration is much more common than you would guess especially in in Sub-Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, most people prefer to reach for a bottle of soft drink than a glass of chilled water at the detriment of their health but NOTHING can replace a good, clean water for healing and satisfaction. Your body needs to process all the sugar and other substances before it can make any use of the little water content in your alternative beverage for it's metabolism.

Water remedies many ailments! Dehydration can cause a myriad of diseases including many that may surprise you!

• Heartburn

• Depression

• Back and joint pain

• Arthritis

• Asthma

• High Blood Pressure

• Premature Ageing

• Wrinkles

• Skin Problems

• Fatigue

• ADHD ( Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)

And the list is endless...

How much healing water should one drink?

A general rule of thumb is to divide your body weight in half and that is how many ounces of water you should drink in a day. So if your weight is 150 pounds (68kg) your water intake should be around 75 ounces (2.2 litres) per day. The old adage about drinking 8, eight ounce glasses a day is pretty average. Sound like too much? Well, 8 ounce gasses is equal to four 16 ounce cans of coke! Spread that out through the day and it really that much when you consider all the benefits of water!

Here's a great home remedy to restore your body's pH after being dehydrated.

Mix 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider with one tablespoon honey. Add a pinch of salt then fill glass with warm or room temperature water. Chug-a_lug! This is a great hangover remedy too!

And this bring us to the concluding part of "Water: The Holistic Approach". I do hope you have gained one or two things from this series?
Your questions, opinions and suggestions would be immensely appreciated.
