Why Our Bodies MUST Have Sixty-four Ounces of Water A Day In Order To Be Our Healthiest and Most Beautiful Now, AND…. All through Our Later Years Too. HINT: Our Bodies are 67% Water!



Water is beneficial for so very many things, yet is so under used by so many people. Too often water is replaced by other beverages – many laden with sugars, calories and of little or no value nutritionally. This is becoming especially true with today’s young people. The generations that grew up with soda pop have turned to caffeine laden drinks such as designer coffees and teas, sport and energy drinks—everything except plain water—whenever they have a thirst. These diuretic drinks actually drain the body of fluids creating a loss rather than a gain in body water content. Prove this to yourself; ask a child or teenager if they would like a glass of water. Chances are you will get a negative response, but, if you offer them a soda, they will not refuse.
Our bodies are completely dependant on water; ALL functions of the body require water. Keeping your body hydrated enables timely and efficient functioning to occur. Dehydration is one of the most common causes of fatigue. Even mild dehydration can cause fatigue.
Our metabolism is a chemical process involving energy; by drinking more water we can increase, or boost, our metabolic rate. In turn this increase in metabolism will increase calories burned reflected in weight lost. Often thirst is confused by hunger. You may feel cravings and think food when your body actually is requiring water. The next time you have a craving try a glass of water; wait a few minutes and you may notice the craving has gone. You provided the water your body needed and avoided the calories that a snack would have added.
Many of the foods eaten today are high in fats, sugars and calories in the form of processed and/or fast foods with very little water. A diet consisting of these types of foods requires even more water consumption to make up for the lack of fluids in the foods eaten.
Most people require 64 ounces of water daily. Those exercising, doing strenuous work, outdoor work, and living in areas with high normal temperatures, and during the summer months should consider even more than the average 64 ounces daily to compensate for their added needs. If you are dieting it is important to drink more water throughout the day. When exercising drinking additional water will help keep your energy levels up.
If drinking water is unappealing to you, try adding some flavor enhancer – a squeeze of lemon, a few drops of orange extract, or any number of flavor extracts available. Eating fruits and vegetables high in water content will also provide much needed fluids to your body. Fruits and vegetables will also help fill your stomach without overloading on unwanted calories while providing additional vitamins, minerals, and photonutrients. A healthy diet will always include foods high in water content.
Water also helps the body to rid itself of toxins and keep the kidneys flushed, which will also reduce sodium levels. Water absorption by our bodies is based on how we drink it – gulp it down and it is excreted much faster than if sipped slowly. Small amounts sipped slowly throughout the day provide better body retention and healthier hydration.
Some of the many benefits of good water intake include improved skin tone, appetite regulation and increased metabolism, boosting energy levels. Water helps in reducing cholesterol; it helps regulate blood pressure, and may reduce the occurrence of headaches, decrease joint pain, and decrease the risk of developing kidney stones while helping to rid toxic wastes from the body. And surprisingly, the more you drink the less water weight retention occurs. All these benefits plus improving your skin too!
A word of caution: Don’t drink too much water! Electrolyte balances can be reduced by over consumption of water. Low levels of potassium, magnesium and sodium can be harmful. Adding a vitamin/mineral supplement to your diet will counteract this. People with kidney problems or stones, or other conditions requiring the limiting of fluid intake should consult with their doctor for advice on correct amounts to drink.
Water is a natural healer for the body required to regenerate bones, needed for healthy hair, skin and nails, regeneration of organ and nerve damage, and required for normal body functioning. Water is readily available, free of calories and a natural way to help maintain health and well being.

The BEST treatment for wrinkles





CELL-abration Formula I

OLEDA 15% ALPHA HYDROXY ACID - Serious Treatment for Wrinkles and Lines in the Face and Neck. It Sloughs Off Older Skin, Makes Skin Tighter and Pores Smaller. See a Great Difference in 6 Days.

 
An Anti Aging Specialist on the Oprah Winfrey Show said that Alpha-Hydroxy Acid is the only cream that works to treat wrinkles and lines on the face. OLEDA 15% AHA Formula I is the best AHA treatment for wrinkles and lines on the face and neck that you can buy because it has a mix of 5 different acids. FORMULA I rejuvenates the surface of the skin and, at the same time, causes old, flat cells (from aging) under the skin to regenerate. It helps tighten pores and diminish lines and wrinkles, thus rebuilding structural support causing the skin to appear more youthful. It helps to fade splotches and presents a more even tone both in texture and color. FORMULA I restores balance to all types of skin, whether dry or oily, repairs damage from the sun, improves elasticity and helps get rid of that dull, flat look. You'll love the results you'll get with this product.

What You Do To Protect Your Skin and Health From The Sun This Summer (and any other summer) This May Decide Your Fate With Skin Cancer Health and More!

Here are the Summer Safety Rules.  During the hot summer days there are some important things to remember in order to stay safe while enjoying the season:

* Hydration is very important during these hot temperatures, even if you are only outside for short periods of time.  You should maintain good hydration by drinking plenty of water – not just liquids, but WATER.
* Remember when consuming alcohol, that additional water will be needed to compensate for the de-hydration effects of the alcohol in order to stay properly hydrated.
* Keep the hot sun off your head with a wide brimmed hat to avoid sun damage to your hair and overheating or even sun stroke.

* Always use sunblock when outdoors - no exceptions.
* Protect your skin from sun damage that is linked to other serious conditions such as sun poisoning, sunburn, and even skin cancers.  Please read about OLEDA Natural Mineral Sunscreen which is a 100% block and comes in 3 colors below. Really is the best block ever!
* Keep your skin moisturized to avoid dryness which leads to premature wrinkling and aging.
* Follow boat safety carefully, life jackets and supervision for all children.  Water is a natural draw to children, make sure they are well monitored whenever near a pool, lake or river and protect their delicate skin with plenty of sunblock.
* Watch to make sure the children are not in the hot sun too long as they will stay out playing without thought to getting overheated.  Have them alternate games and activities between inside or shaded areas and outside.
* Planning a picnic or cookout?  Try healthy alternatives to the standard high fat/high cholesterol burgers and dogs.  Grilled chicken, smoked turkey, and lean pork are all great when cooked outdoors.  Remember to keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot – don’t risk food poisoning from foods left sitting at improper temperatures.  Serve plenty of fruits and the standard watermelon – kids love them and they are far healthier than chips and most other snack foods.  Opt for shaved ices rather than high fat/high sugar ice cream.  This is the season to get the best fresh vegetables and fruits available – take advantage of that and serve healthy grilled veggies as sides and fresh sliced fruits for dessert.
* Don’t forget your pets during this hot weather.  The heat can be very harmful to our companion animals that all walk around in fur coats regardless of the temperature.  Make sure they have shade if outside and ALWAYS have fresh water to cool down with.

* Having fun and enjoying the season can be even better when done safely.

It's TRUE ….EVERYONE WANTS TO LIVE LONGER...BUT NO ONE WANTS TO BE OR FEEL OLD!
It's also true that as we get older it seems we can't get enough vegetables and fruits to maintain our  good health. Good eating habits help compensate for the body's decline from aging faster than we should. Good eating habits also help it build the immune system, provide fantastic energy and help you keep the weight off. "Our cells are the only building blocks of the only body we'll ever have. We must treat our cells right!" That's what VEGGIES & FRUIT Concentrate is all about. A LEVEL teaspoon of powder (don't overdo it) or two capsules, once or twice a day, has the vegetable and fruit concentrates that you need for the day.
There are 12: Broccoli, Spinach, Asparagus, Celery, Pea, Carrot, Pumpkin, Tomato, Beet, Sweet Potato, Orange Peel, and Lemon Peel. 100% pure organically grown. No added sugar, salt, yeast, starch, milk, preservatives, artificial flavors or colors…and no herbs in this formula. Supports weight loss. Mix in juice or sprinkle on food. I use the powder in orange juice through a straw. Here's the VEGGIES & FRUIT Concentrate story.
VEGGIES & FRUIT Concentrate Powder has only pure Vegetables and Fruit Powders, the alkalizing formula supports the concentrated vegetables and fruits to help rid your body of harmful acids which in turn enhances energy and weight loss, helps support a healthy immune system, maintain a healthier colon, and maintain better oxygenation of cells and ehnances emulsifying fat.
Rich in Growth Factor Proteins: Product has a natural source of Growth Factor Protein - 14.9 gm per serving that can help your body maintain healthy alkaline levels which can help cellular growth, repair and regeneration of healthier cells. What else does VEGGIES & FRUIT Concentrate do? When we eat processed foods or junk food, it causes a high acid condition in the body. Then the body tries to dispose of the excess acid wastes through the intestines, lungs and kidneys. If the high acid condition in the body cannot be properly eliminated, the acids will take their toll on the body.I take a teaspoon of VEGGIES & FRUIT Concentrate powder in orange juice - let it soak a couple of minutes - stir and drink it with a straw! It even tastes good. If you prefer the capsules, two of them are the equivalent of one teaspoon of powder. What a great way to get the vegetables and fruits that we never seem to get enough of in our diet. I love it! And you will love the way it makes you feel in just a few days.
This is a much needed formula for anyone who does not eat properly. What more could you want!….You might like to know that each serving of the VEGGIES & FRUIT Concentrate Powder has the value of: 3 stalks of Broccoli * 1/2 cup of Spinach * 4 pieces of Asparagus * 2 pieces of Celery * 2 Carrots * 1 cup of Peas * 1/2 cup of Pumpkinseeds * 2 Tomatoes * 2 Beets * 1/2 cup Sweet Potato * 1 Lemon * 1 Orange. (A serving size, as on label, equals 2 measured level teaspoons.)
