Give me some water!

Our bodies are mostly water and we should really replace about 2.4
liters of water through drinking and the foods we eat, or take your
body weight, cut it in half and that's the amount of ounces daily, of fluid intake recommended.

But many of us follow this daily program:

Breakfast: Coffee (diuretic - which usually gets rid of more fluid than
is consumed), and toast or a bagel.

Lunch: Soda (diuretic) and a sandwich.

Dinner: - Wine or alcohol (diuretic) and meat and potatoes.

Where is the water?? In practice, I found
the less water one drank - the more health challenges they had, with
virtually no exceptions.

Weight gain Secret?

You bet - Salt.

Our bodies produce histamines when we are dehydrated and when we are
hungry.

When we are not mindful, we can't tell the difference if we are hungry
or thirsty.

And snack food and fast food folks know it, that's why they "salt it
up". Since salt helps retain water in our bodies, eating snack food and
fast food muffles our urge to drink water by the histamine suppression
of salt intake, and it results in the calories that are eaten, instead of the water we were supposed to drink

We're not saying to not eat fast food or snack food, just knowing the
difference if you are hungry or thirsty, by what you have recently
eaten or drank - is the important message.

Yours in "Being Mindful" - Coach
