Newsflash

Here are some facts from a brief article in The Compleat Mother (#64, Winter, 2001).  The article is old. The facts are still valid.

    * In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
    * 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.  (It is likely that this applies as well to half the world's population.)
    * Even mild dehydration slows down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

      A Shower Filter Can Bring Joy to Your Life.       You'll Sing Better!   Lowe's Home Depot and your local home center all sell several models.
    * In a University of Washington study, a single glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters.
    * The #1 trigger of daytime fatigue is lack of water.
    * Research indicates that eight to ten glasses of water per 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 on a printed page.
    * Drinking five glasses of water per day decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%,  the risk of breast cancer by 75%, and the risk of bladder cancer by 50%.

Another authority says: "Water is also the best medicine, both inside and outside the body. The finest prevention for malaise (after an evening of excess consumption!) is a pint of water before bed."

So what are you waiting for.  Drink up!

YourBodySpeaksYourMind
In her new book Your Body Speaks Your Mind, Deb Shapiro puts forth the concept that by thinking of our body and mind as being separate entities we are doing ourselves a disservice. She points out the very simple fact that every thought we have that we act on, and some we don't are energy. That energy is converted through neuropeptides into chemicals and electical signals throughout the body to respond. And most of it happens on an unconcsious level. 

You don't have to tell the hair on the back of your neck to stand up when someone you don't know is staring at your backside. Even when you don't see them, their energy is received on same level and you feel their presence. No thought is required when your skin gets too cool and your skin goosebumps up before you begin to shiver. You don't need to tellyour heart to beat faster and harder when the one you love says something particularly kind.

I don't want to spoil the book for you. You need to get your own copy!
