Too often we misinterpret thirst for hunger. Our signal for thirst may cause us to eat as we mistake it for hunger pains. Reach for water first and make sure you are well hydrated before eating any meal throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
Green juices are an amazing way to add life giving and detoxifying plant chlorophyll to your bloodstream. As Jason Vale says in the upcoming new 'Food Matters' film, "juicing is the ultimate fast food, it is a 15 minute nutrient express to health". Some of my favorite and simple green juice recipes include:
Parsley and cilantro (corriander) are very powerful natural green plant foods for detoxing heavy metals out of your body. Add these amazing herbs to juices, salads, soups and meals. Mike Adams from Natural News talks more about this also in the new upcoming 'Food Matters' film.
Deep breathing, where you fill your belly and expand your diaphragm downwards, is one of the most powerful exercise you can do to activate your lymph system which helps to detoxify your body. Think of your lymph system as your own personal garbage removal system (which most of us will need in full steam after the holiday season). Practise 10 deep slow breaths counting 4 seconds in, 8 seconds hold and 8 seconds out. You can do this exercize watching the TV, walking the dog, during meditation or whilst practising yoga.
4 Reasons You Should Drink Enough Water
Posted By Dr. Axe On October 27, 2011
[1]You can go without food for days, weeks and even months, but going without water for just one day can negatively impact your health. Many people don’t realize just how important water really is. The human body is made up of 2/3 (66%) water and when we lose just a little bit of water through sweat and elimination, and we do not replenish lost liquid, we’ll begin to notice the effects to our health right away.
Health Effects of Going without Water
Water is the most valuable life support product for our health, right up there with oxygen. Water and oxygen are the only two things in life that without for just a short period of time we would die. Studies have been done that show if a 175 pound man were to lose just 2.5% of water in his body (2 quarts) he will lose 25% of his body’s effectiveness towards survival.
When a person begins to dehydrate more things happen in the body than just being thirsty. The more liquid in the body that is lost, the thicker the blood becomes and the harder the heart muscle must work to pump the blood through the circulatory system. When a person loses their abilities to reason and think straight because of dehydration it means they will die very soon, unless they drink water to rehydrate. Depending on the circumstances, mainly environment, a person can die within 24 to 28 hours after having no water if they are laboring in the hot dry sun with no water. If a person is sedentary indoors and the elements, such as wind, sun, and heat is not present they may live up to 3 days, tops. So water is VERY important for survival, but water is also very important to your overall health.
Most people think they drink enough liquids throughout the day to keep them hydrated. But if you counted all the beverages besides water that people drink you would see that they are actually dehydrating themselves. Most liquids such as coffee, tea, soda, alcohol, Gatorade, and sugary fruit drinks do not hydrate the body like pure water can. Some people are walking around actually dehydrated and they don’t know it because they don’t feel thirsty. Let’s take a look at 4 of the main reasons you should make sure you’re getting enough water.
1. Fatigue and Tiredness
The first sign of dehydration is the feeling of being tired; some people experience a headache and feel like taking a nap. When the body begins to dehydrate it means the tissues and cells are not getting enough water to make a person feel like doing anything; enzymatic activity slows down and without water the enzymes are unable to produce energy either. In fact a dehydrated person may have no enthusiasm or joy for life. The good news is once the individual starts to drink some water their energy reserves speed back up and sometimes the headache completely goes away.
2. Constipation and Digestive Problems
If a person is not drinking enough water they do not have enough liquid to help with the elimination process and without eliminating the foods we digest we gain weight, gain toxins, and feel awful. Being constipated is the beginning to many health problems from allergies to toxic overload syndrome to digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, gas bloating, stomach pain, nausea and loss of appetite in chronic cases.
3. Stomach Ulcers
To protect the stomach from its acidic digestive fluids that is made during the digestion of food, the stomach is coated with a lining of mucous, which are 98% water and 2% sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate helps in the digestive process by neutralizing the acids. When a person is dehydrated the stomach does not have enough liquid available to make the mucous, thus a poor mucous lining protecting a person from the acidic fluids the digestive process makes. This is why some people are more acidic rather than alkaline, and have digestive problems such as acid stomach and heartburn, which eventually without the alkalinity results in an ulcer of the stomach lining.
4. Weight Gain
Many times when we are thirsty we eat food rather than drink water. This can cause unnecessary weight gain, especially for a sedentary person. When your body is dehydrated, just a little bit, sometimes it won’t tell you with a dry throat or mouth, but rather with a feeling of being hungry. Here’s the thing, if you just ate a sufficient meal not too long ago how can you really need to eat again?
To know if you need water or food, next time you are hungry when you have already ate a meal, drink a couple glasses of pure water. If the hunger pangs subside you’ll know you just needed to feed the body some water. The body needs at least 2 to 3 liters of water a day, and drinking more than that will keep you from feeling hungry. Not only that, but it will also help you eliminate more toxins from your body. Eventually your body will stop telling you it’s hungry because you are maintaining hydration throughout the day.
When you drink enough water throughout the day you are feeding the tissues and cells in your body and that gets the enzymatic system moving, which actually releases fat toxins out of the body! Now isn’t that good news? Rehydrating the body through pure water gets your metabolism running in full balance rather than being slow and sluggish, which is a cause of weight gain.
Do you want to add some vitamins and zest to your water? Then squeeze two or three lemons or limes into each liter of water and drink this nourishing water throughout the day. The great news about this is you probably won’t catch a cold anytime soon! Drink water for your health!
Drink Pure Water
[2]
The new beyond organic reign supreme water label shows that it contains only pure spring water from the mountains of Northern Georgia
Some water sources are not clean even though many people drink from them. Well water can be full of toxic inorganic minerals that could be making you sick. Bottled water isn’t necessarily any better, you still need to know where it came from and what is in it. Minerals on rocks build up into a sludgy scum and then you drink it. Tap water in some cities is also very mineral laden and too much minerals will cause arterial problems. Water should be as pure as possible, without minerals and bad bacteria.
Inorganic Minerals that could be lurking in your Water
| Aluminum | Arsenic | Asbestos |
| Barium | Cadmium | Chromium |
| Copper | Fluoride | Lead |
| Mercury | Nitrate | Nitrite |
| Selenium | Silver |
Minerals and vitamins should come from the purest source, which are organic foods that derive from plants or animals. If you think you might be drinking water that is dirty with inorganic minerals you can have it tested. The safest and easiest thing to do to ensure clean water is to buy a good water filter or softener to put on your faucet that filters out mineral toxins from your water.
Millwall striker Harry Kane has spoken of his delight at notching his first goals for his new club, after signing on a loan deal at the start of this year.
The Walthamstow born youngster is currently on loan from fellow Londoners Tottenham Hotspur, and bagged a brace in the midweek FA Cup third-round replay with Dagenham & Redbridge.
Kane told Millwall's official website: "It was great to get on and brilliant to get a convincing win against Dagenham as well."
"I'm really enjoying it here. It's a great club and the boys really welcomed me."
The striker's move to the Championship side comes after first-team opportunities were limited at high-flying Tottenham, but the player did manage three starts in the Europa League this term.
Harry Redknapp rates him highly as one for the future, and experience in England's second-tier can only bode well for the England Under-19 international.
He did spend some time last season with another London side in Leyton Orient, and managed five goals in 18 appearances for the O's.
Kane's next opportunity to find the net comes in the weekend game away at Barnsley. Meanwhile, fellow Tottenham loanee Ryan Mason still awaits his Lions debut.
Barcelona defender Adriano insists the players never gave up hope of chasing down Real Madrid at the top of the table.
Coach Pep Guardiola publicly stated a month ago, "forget the league, we are not going to win" as his side trailed by 10 points.
His comments - which came in the middle of what has turned out to be a nine-match winning run - were widely regarded as a clever psychological ploy to spur on his players, and so it has proved.
Barcelona have the chance to close the gap at the top to just a point with victory at home to Getafe on Tuesday before Real play on Wednesday.
And Adriano said their current hot streak had re-invigorated the side.
"We've always believed that we'd have a chance at the La Liga title and now we're only four points behind them," said the Brazilian, who has enjoyed more appearances at left-back recently because of Eric Abidal's absence as he awaits a liver transplant.
"If we continue on this path, we'll be able to win.
"The team have had a lot of injuries this season and we've put in a strong effort to be where we are now.
"I'm currently going through my best moment this season. I've lost weight and I feel much better.
"Now it's time to take care of myself and play the remaining matches."
The home side will be without suspended midfielder Cesc Fabregas while right-back Dani Alves is a doubt after straining a thigh muscle in the weekend's victory over Real Zaragoza, which centre-back Gerard Pique missed through injury.
Martin Montoya replaced Alves at the weekend for his 10th appearance of the season and Adriano was full of praise for the 20-year-old youth team graduate.
"I've always really liked Montoya, ever since he did his first pre-season with the team," he told fcbarcelona.com.
"I think he brings a lot to the team. It was noticeable at La Romareda (against Zaragoza) because the team stayed at the same level when Alves was subbed out."
Getafe are in 10th place, just a point off qualifying for the Europa League, and only two weeks ago beat third-placed Valencia.
They have won four of their last six matches but captain Jaime Gavilan has no illusions about their trip to the Nou Camp.
"It will be a very difficult meeting. We have to be lucky and have a perfect match," he told Marca.
On the seemingly unstoppable Lionel Messi, who has scored 38 goals in just 30 league games, he added: "We know what he can do. Take 38 goals, says it all.
"It is a level above anyone and is what makes the difference in probably the best team in the world."
Feeling sluggish or
out of sync? Having skin problems, aches and pains, or digestive
problems? Straying from your healthier habits lately? It might be time
for a detox.
Practiced for centuries by many cultures around the world — including ayurvedic
and Chinese medicine systems — detoxification is about resting,
cleaning and nourishing the body from the inside out. By removing and
eliminating toxins, then feeding your body with healthy nutrients,
detoxifying can help protect you from disease and renew your ability to
maintain optimum health.
The body has its own natural healing system and Detoxification greatly enhances this system.
How Does Detoxification Work?
Basically, detoxification means cleaning the blood and body. It does this mainly
by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are
processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the
kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. However, when this system is
compromised, impurities aren't properly filtered and every cell in the
body is adversely affected producing dis-ease.
A detox program can help the body's natural cleaning process by:
1) Resting the organs through fasting;
2) Stimulating the liver to drive toxins from the body;
3) Promoting elimination through the intestines, kidneys and skin;
4) Improving circulation of the blood; and
5) Refueling the body with healthy nutrients.
Detoxification works because it addresses the needs of individual cells, the smallest units of human life.
How Do You Know if You Need to Detoxify?
Because of toxins in our environment and food everyone should detox at least once a year. A
short detoxifying program is generally safe; in fact, scientific studies
show that a detox is beneficial for health. However nursing mothers, children, and patients with
chronic degenerative diseases, cancer or tuberculosis should use caution.
Where Do You Begin?
First, lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee,
cigarettes, refined sugars and poly un-saturated fats, all of which act as
toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Also,
minimize use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives.
Another deterrent to good health is stress,
which triggers your body to release stress hormones into your system.
While these hormones can provide the "adrenaline rush" to win a race or
meet a deadline, in large amounts they create toxins and slow down
detoxification enzymes in the liver. So it's a good idea to detox
stressful life situations along with detoxifying your body. Yoga, chiropractic and meditation
are simple and effective ways to relieve stress by resetting your
physical and mental reactions to the inevitable stress life will bring.
