ADDICTION: I’LL DRINK TO THAT

My new clients are sometimes surprised that one of the things I ask them to work on changing is ‘drink more water’. Alcohol increases dehydration in the body; hence ‘dry heaves’ after trying to hydrate the body with alcohol. ‘Water’, simple and pure ‘water’. I remember when I lived in Southern California, I could smell the water coming out of the tap; we bought our water in five gallon containers back then. Where I presently live in Oregon, we are actually able to drink water from the tap and enjoy the pure taste. Still, I buy a lot of bottled water to have on hand for my clients to take with them when they leave my office—that take away suggestion to ‘drink water’. Yesterday, a friend of mine dropped a case of 24 bottles of ‘Perfect Water’ off at my office. I looked up on the internet why it was ‘Perfect Water’, www.perfectwater.com, the website gives five points of why it is ‘Perfect Water’ including ‘oxygen Rich and empowered with MBO proprietary technology’. It also has a disclaimer that it is not intended as a miracle wellness product, not had the U.S. FDA evaluated it. Even without the government’s endorsement, I am drinking it—and enjoying it. Nutritionists recommend that adults drink 64 ounces of water—four bottles—per day. (Check with your doctor if this is appropriate for you) Here are a few water facts you may find interesting: 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated; in 37% of American, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger; one glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters studied by U of Washington; lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue; a mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen. Who knew?! I’ll drink to that.
