This is NOT an ad! Woman Adds THIS Easy Thing To Her Diet And Changes Appearance By 10 Years!

That's a fact - improper irrigation causes more problems than people often realize. I can be frightening looking waking up if I haven't had enough to drink (water - not booze LOL). Your cells rely on irrigation. When the water gets boring, the best thing to do to it is dose it with a little citrus of some sort -- that's a real health bomb.

I like the sound of this so am going to give it a go.
Mind you, it's so difficult to know what to believe these days. It seems every other days there is something wrong with what we are currently drinking and eating.

Drinking that much water is safe, but don't do it all in one go. If you spread it out over the course of the day, your body has a chance to process the extra fluid. Yes, you'll urinate more often and it will cleanse your systems out. Most people are dehydrated and don't even know it. When you're hungry, try reaching for a glass of water instead. It's often that you're thirsty and not hungry.

I have read and written numerous articles on this topic and, from various sources, know it is true.

Remember, there is such a thing as over hydration. It can be just as bad for you as being dehydrated. These guys have some info on it:
Overhydration | Definition & Patient Education

1/2 oz per pound of weight is about the amount you need. You also have to consider water purity. If your water is loaded down with fluoride, chloramine (very dangerous chlorine substitute), etc the last thing you want is more of it. I make sure that half the water I drink in a day is distilled and use raw plants form mineralization - a LOT of salads.

Sodium loss isn't a problem for people who eat a lot of processed foods - they usually get way too much and need to lose some of it anyway. If you are actually short on sodium, drink a little baking soda (not around meal time as it will cut your digestive acid). Milk, celery, beets are sources of natural sodium.

If you have too much sodium, you're going to retain water no matter how much or little you drink.
If you're retaining water - eat some parsley - it's loaded with nutrients and is a superb diuretic.

puedall - that was an absolutely excellent video. Thanks for the share. I'll be looking for more of her videos - especially the next one on the brain!

Wow... Thank you for that video puedall - I'm going to be watching more of her videos as well.

I might try it, but add generous doses of fruit liqueurs to it for flavoring.


(that was a joke)

That is great. Will definitely do that, I know I am dehydrated most of the time.

Benny Hill is one of my favorite philosophers.

On the over-hydration/dehydration issue, it's dependent upon
how much you sweat and the levels of minerals and electrolytes
you need/get as part of the proper hydration. It's going to vary
depending upon your physiology and getting back to equilibrium.
(It's not about just water.)

Dan - watch puedall's video - it talks about the minerals, in fact it was the talk about the minerals that really impressed me with the video.

I think dehydration happens more in colder weather, too, because when it's hot people drink. When it's cold though, even if you are exercising a fair amount, it's easy to not realize how much water is evaporating from you. I'm never dehydrated in summer but in winter I like hot beverages, and drink less water even when I don't slow down my exercise and I wind up starting to shrivel up if I don't watch out. I've learned to drink my water hot with a touch of lemon in the winter, just to keep off of continual tea/coffee. Still enjoy an occasional cocoa, though.

Sal,

Same here with the video posted by puedall. The op article and the article posted by Trollfarie (post 7) don't really address the mineral issues. The woman in the op article was medically advised to drink the amount she did to get back to equilibrium - we don't know what else she was advised to take mineral wise. Her three liters a day apparently did not lead to over-hydration. But, that's her case for 28 days.

When I was a kid (around 1970 or so), I was advised by my MD to drink about a glass a day of water with a teaspoon of sea salt thrown in. (Now that I think about it, he must have noticed some dehydration signs and he knew I was playing soccer on a team in August....) I think he was in his sixties then. It seems to me that regular MDs back then were more naturopathic than their counterparts today. Though I'm no expert there - last time I saw an MD was 20 some years ago and it was like "here's your prescription, bye-bye, next cow please".

I agree with you about most folks getting a bit dehydrated more in the colder weather. Another factor might be that, without realizing it, they sweat in their sleep from too many bed coverings, long sleeve jammies, and the room temperature up.

When you lived up here, I'm sure you saw a bunch of customers with signs of dehydration and altitude
sickness. We had one physically fit, young couple from New Zealand stay at my hotel. The guy especially got hit. To the point he could not drive and needed to drink a lot of water and get used to the elevation.

Puedall's video made me look up Barbara Oneill and the Misty Mountain Health Retreat. It gave me ideas for lodging packages. And, there's this huge lodge on 43 acres by Wolcott for $475k. Maybe too out of the way - although pretty large commercial airplanes can fly into Vail. hmmmmmm.
