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!

Namasté is a sanskrit term. i have heard many translations but the one that sticks with me is this: "i honor the place in you that is the same as the place in me." The term is used to show respect and good will, but the meaning is really much deeper. It means that we are all part of the same whole, and at our core, we are all the same...the part of us that never changes, that Self, is recognizable because it exists in the same exact state in all humans.
