Cleansing = Water, Here's a trick to get MORE
by Courtney Dwyer-Client Advocate
Happy New Year Health Queen readers! My name is Courtney and I am a new face and name on the Health Queen newsletter, but NOT new to the Fountain of Health. I have been with the Fountain of Health for about 5 years now and have recently been working hard as the client advocate. I look forward to seeing all of you and offering my part in nutritional education as I pursue my continuing education toward nursing.
Since it is the New Year, every where I turn I hear so much about cleanse this and cleanse that. The New Year is an opportunity for people to make a fresh start and for many that includes a fresh start for their bodies. Cleansing is an awesome way to bring in the New Year and something that we should do as often as we can during the entirety of a year. It's optimum to cleanse every 3 to 6 months since we are constantly being bombarded by pollution in the air and in the water we drink, and may not be eating as much organically grown fresh fruit and vegetables as we should be.
So as some of us pursue these cleanses at the beginning of this New Year, there is one very important part of the cleansing process that can not go to the way side. I recently attended a class on detoxification taught by a doctor, and he said something that has resonated with me ever since that I want to pass on to all of you. WATER! Some of you may be thinking, “I know I have to drink water, I drink a lot.” Does the amount of water that you're drinking during your cleanse equal to 90 OUNCES EVERY DAY?!? Yes, that’s right. If you're undertaking a cleanse right now or plan to in the future, it's imperative that you drink at least 90 ounces of filtered water every day. This helps the body flush out the toxins that being eliminated by of the cleanse.
If you aren’t consuming enough water the toxins can just re-accumulate in the body and your cleanse won’t be as efficient or effective as it could have been. For some people the lack of water may be the cause of a sick feeling they experience during their cleanse. That makes so much sense!! So how do you tackle 90 ounces of water? We have discovered a little secret about water consumption that we try to share with as many clients as possible, and now I’m passing it on to you.
First thing in the morning, when you wake up, before you have any coffee or tea (which you're not doing anyway on your cleanse, right?), before you brush your teeth or eat breakfast, DRINK AS MUCH WATER AS YOU CAN! It would be awesome if you could drink 32 ounces or more every morning. Now you may have to work up to this, like I did. Start out with16 ounces or 24 ounces and before you know it you’ll be able to take on that 32 ounces or more with out breaking a sweat! This little trick is key. It results in every thing being flushed out of the body more effectively, and you’ll be absorbing much of that water. It’s like your body can absorb the water better when consumed before anything else. You won’t have to drink all that water when you're not doing your cleanse.
When you've finished your cleanse, go back to drinking 64 ounces of water or whatever ounces equals ½ your body weight. Yes, we should be drinking ½ our body weight in ounces every day! Water is our life force. It’s the universal solvent. Our body AND our planet are made up of mostly water, so doesn’t it make sense that we should consume more than the 8 ounces or 16 ounces that many of us drink in a day? Happy cleansing to all of you and I commend and admire all of you that are taking on a cleanse for the New Year. They can be challenging, but you are doing a wonderful thing to support your body and it will help you to get to optimum health. Just make sure to drink your water! Happy New Year to you all and may it be a year full of love and prosperity and HEALTH!
