Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 This is from www.richardsimmons.com DRINK UP! How have you been doing weight wise so far this week? Would you like to accelerate it just a little over the weekend? Then concentrate on drinking enough water! Not the water in your pop or diet pop, not the water in your coffee or tea, not the water in your beer. Just plain, old water! Well, statistics say that 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, and when your body is in that state, you can get headaches and have short-term memory loss, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printer page. A lack of water in your system slows down your metabolism, and it is the number 1 trigger of daytime fatigue. A lot of people think they are hungry, but actually, they are thirsty! Drinking water can decrease the risk of colon cancer by 45%; plus, it can slash the risk of breast cancer by an amazing 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer! Water can significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. Is water a miracle? Yes, it is, and the amount recommended by doctors and researchers is still 8-10 glasses a day. Let me let you in on a big secret. One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of those trying to lose weight, and that`s not all! You really feel more comfortable in your own skin, because it is so soft and supple! Water helps get rid of acne, and it helps in the digestion of food. Once you drink enough water for 30 days, you will definitely see a difference in your hair. That H2O adds shine and body to your tendrils! Drinking water flushes out the toxins in your system, keeping it running smoothly, and if you are addicted to exercise like I am, water helps you have a better workout! Drink 1 of your glasses of water before beginning your exercise routine, and keep that water handy to help replenish your system all through your class. Once you are finished, drink another glass. Have a glass before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Without a doubt, water quenches your thirst better than any liquid known to man. Is there a glass or bottle of water in front of you? NO? Well, go get some, and turn your body into Niagara Falls! Love, ~Coco~ 301.2/289.2/1?? Weight Watchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
