Re: A health question

I teach natural health seminars at doctors offices (& other places) and lack of water is a huge problem in this country. Rule of thumb is to take your body weight and divide it in half and that is the number of ounces you should drink daily. If you drink caffiene then you have to add to that.

The first 2 weeks you will spend more time in the bathroom. Then your bladder will re-adjust and you will be fine.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and is the last on the list to get hydrated when you drink water. This is especially bad for tanners. If you can teach your tanners to drink enough water they will tan easier and better.

A 2% drop in body water can result in fuzzy thinking, trouble concentrating on a computer screen or printed page, short term memory challenges, slower metabolism and more. It can also contribute to joint and back pain and headaches.

Water is important, essential to our bodies. So is fiber but that's another whole subject.
