...drink more water.
Why? Adequate water intake prevents dehydration, cleans out the body, and promotes healing processes. Substituting water for beverages high in calories can also help control weight.
To control your weight, you also should be drinking ½ of your weight in water!
To calculate how much you should be drinking, divide your weight in half. That’s the number of ounces of bladder-friendly liquid (Shaklee Best Water, seltzer and herbal tea) to aim for daily. (It has recently been proven that tea is as good or even healthier than water and can extend one's life by a few years.)
I know it sounds like a lot of water, but if you calculate the amount of soda pop and coffee you ingest each day, and replace it with water, you will be so much better off. For most it is only a couple of bottles of water each day.
However, is that bottled water really safe? According to Henry Kim, Ph.D., a supervisory chemist at the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, "Generally, over the years, the FDA has adopted EPA standards for tap water as standards for bottled water," Kim says. As a result, standards for contaminants in tap water and bottled water are very similar."
Tap water and bottle water have similar standards. Interesting. Yes, Municipal water is usually treated before it is bottled, and treatment can be Distillation, Reverse Osmosis, Absolute 1 micron filtration and/or Ozonation.
But experts recommend that we get a water purification system. Purified water tastes very good and may help make drinking water more appealing to you. Be aware, though, that as you grow accustomed to purified water, tap water may eventually taste odd.
On the brighter side, by flushing out toxins and impurities, water can make your skin clearer, smoother and younger looking. Wonderful, we look better, feel better and water is also known to reduce hunger.
If you limit dehydrating and bladder-aggravating culprits like caffeine and alcohol and drink more water, you might stay healthy longer. Not just tap water, or bottled spring water, but purified water.
Shaklee's Best Water Counter-top system is a state-of-the-art economical and NSF certified reverse osmosis system. You save $$ by not purchasing those bottles of water.
Water has no calories, no caffeine, no sugar. But it should not have contaminates either. Choose Shaklee's Best Water for better, healthier, water filtration.
Blessings and good health,
