7. Water / Hydration
Post details
Posted on 18th February 2008
- Approximately 75% of people are dehydrated
- Try to drink 2 litres of water a day
- Dehydration causes stress and stress causes further dehydration
- Remember that STRESS = CATABOLICS = Cortisol + body storage mode
- Chronic dehydration is at the root of many serious diseases including cancer, hypertension and other cardiovascular problems, asthma, renal dysfunction, endocrine system and adrenal fatigue, arthritis, ulcers, digestive issues and lower back pain not to mention constipation
- One glass of water before bed helps you sleep and rest better
- Drink 2 to 3 glasses of water when you wake up
- The thirst mechanism can be so weak, it is often mistaken for hunger
- Most headaches are caused by lack of water. So are poor sleep cycles, fatigue, decreased growth and repair, dysfunctional immune system and dysfunctional digestive system
