Water

Water

We all know water is good for you.  So why exactly is water good for you? Here is some information on the health benefits of water I’ve collected over the years. Hopefully this information will get you motivated to drink more water and learn more about the benefits of water. Before you read on, you may want to get a glass of water. I bet you’ll get thirsty. 

75% of all Americans are chronically dehydrated.  Think about it, probably half the world’s population is chronically dehydrated too. You too are also most likely dehydrated. 

In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it’s often mistaken for hunger. If you think you’re hungry, most likely you are thirsty and dehydrated. To help settle those hunger pains try a glass of water first and wait 15 minutes. Now are you really hungry?

Even MILD dehydration will slow your metabolism 3%. If you want to burn more calories drink more water.

A University of Washington study shows that one glass of water before bed shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters.

Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. If you feel tired in the afternoon try reaching for a glass of water before you reach for that diet Coke or cup of coffee. 

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or a printed page.

Drinking five glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79% and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

You are not just what you eat; you are what you drink. 75% of our body is water.

Water is the basis of all life and that includes your body. Your muscles that move your body are 75% water; your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; your lungs that provide your oxygen are 90% water; your brain that is the control center of your body is 76% water; even your bones are 25% water. (www.watercure.com)

It has even been suggested that the optimum amount of water a person should drink is one ounce of water for every pound you weigh.

The more you learn about the benefits of water the more you will realize water is vital to your well-being.

In a life time, the average person will drink 23,000 gallons of water. Just so you are aware, the water probability went thought six toilets and chemical treatments before it comes out of the faucet. Before you drink your water make sure it's clean. That's why I drink filtered water only.
 

Water flushes the toxins out off your body. There’s a lot of sugar in juice and alcohol. Get your sugar and calories from fruits and vegetables. Don’t drink your calories.

Cheers!

Aspartame

Fitworks Corrective Therapy does not recommend clients ingesting Aspartame. Read the following article for the many reasons why.  After I read the article I have no desire to ingest Aspartame. JUST SAY NO TO ASPARTAME!

Aspartame
Article  written by Nancy Markle (1120197)


I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal', and 'Spoonful"'.
In the keynote address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States. I explained that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.


When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to C and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants). The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. 


The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is. In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. 


Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12oz. cans of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that the aspartame is the culprit. The victim continues its use aggravating the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening. When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually become symptomatic.
Unfortunately, we cannot reverse this disease. 


On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their hearing has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus. 


During a lecture I said "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss, you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE!"
People were jumping up during the lecture saying, "I've got this, is it reversible?" It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture even were suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding aspartame! He continued by saying that one of the industry leader's son could no longer walk - due in part by product usage!


We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto (one of my speakers) and myself and said, 'Could you tell me why so many people seem to be coming down with MS? During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.
Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing has been done. 


The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!!!!!


At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind. The methanol in the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye.


Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic - DEADLY POISONS!!!


Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly kill, but it is killing people and causing all kinds of neurological problems.


Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain. Imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This drug also causes Birth Defects.


There is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT!!! The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT". Dr. Roberts stated that when he got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person. The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians know what wood alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians believe that they have patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it is caused by the aspartame.


The aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients to go into a coma. Unfortunately, many have died. People were telling us at the Conference of the American College of Physicians, that they had relatives that switched from saccharin to an aspartame product and how that relative had eventually gone into a coma. Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually coma and death.


Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain.


Before continuing to ingest Aspartame products do your homework. DO NOT USE IT!
