Do you know the single best anti aging treatment? Oddly enough, it's making use of the best anti aging product in existence, a substance that you know intimately. It's just plain old water. Yes, anti-aging depends more on water than anything in our lives. That really shouldn't be a surprise to anybody because after all we are formed in water, we grow in water, and we use water every day of our lives.
Approximately 75% of the human body is water. We need water for every function in our body, such as regulating our metabolism, carrying vitamins and minerals throughout our bodies and eliminating toxins. In addition, our most vital organs need copious amounts of water. This list includes our liver, kidneys, colon and brain.
We lose water on a constant basis. By beathing out, evaporation and bathroom functions, water is constantly leaving our system. We must, must, must replace this water. But not with just any water -- only pure water. Unfortunately, finding pure water in our toxic environment isn't that easy. We will discuss this more in later blog entries.
Fortunately, serious research shows that many of the diseaseis of modern life can even be reversed with proper hydration of the body. High blood pressure, cholesterol, stress, stroke, heart disease and even Alzheimer's are a few examples of the diseases that are affected by water.
In our weight-conscious society we often fear that drinking too much water will make us appear bloated and thus fatter. However this is absolutely false. The truth is that the body will hold on to water if it fears there will not be enough. However, once your body that is reassured that you will give it ample water it will release the water you are retaining and us eliminate bloating. Sadly most people do not know that, or believe it, and therefore they damage their body with dangerous dieuretics.
How much water do you need? The most credible answer to this is one half ounce per pound. That means a person weighing 150 pounds needs 75 ounces of water each day. Dividing this number by eight (because there are 8 ounces in a glass) means our 150 pound person would need a little bit over seven glasses per day.
This may sound like a lot but it really isn't. My words however, are meaningless. The only way to find out for yourself if drinking water will improve your body and your health is to try it for yourself. If this makes sense to you, set yourself a schedule. I suggest that you experiment with this amount of water for two months. Space your water out over the day rather than drinking it all at once. Write it down every day and experiment with this amount of water for 60 days. At the end of that time evaluate what has happened to your body, if anything.
Experiment in a healthy, new way with this potent anti aging treatment. You will discover for yourself the power of the finest anti-aging product available to humans: pure water.
