Water... water... water?

Hello dears,

First of all I would like to thank to all of you for reading my blog. It means a lot to me, and that I am actually doing a good job here, saying that if you have any questions or would like me to go deeper to some subjects, please feel free to add your comments.


I hope that everyone of you read my previous post and working on introducing "positive affirmations" to your lifes - I will come back to this subject at the end of next week.

And now coming back to water subject.

• What is water?
• Why so much fuss about it?
• Is it really that necessary?
• Can it cure?

If you ever asked yourself those questions, well done - good job.
If not? don't worry I am here to ask them for you.

So what is water? H2O - and?

As you remember from my previous post, water is a main ingredient in our bodies, it's actually one of the most important forces (together with air and sun) we need to live.
Nothing and no one can live without it.

Depends on it states it can cure or harm us.
Harm, how?

We all know, that our world is being poisoned by us on many levels.
We (most of us) don't care about pollution we create, rubbish we throw away, trees we cut, animals we kill...

Remembering that, ask yourself a question:
What kind of water I drink when I open a tap and poor it to my glass?

(Lucky ones, who live in "more posh" places where water is properly cleaned).

Do you often need to clean your kettle as it's full of sediments?

Where do you think those collect once we drink them with water?

Which part of body cleanses it?

The answer is kidneys (mostly), as they are last ones which cleanses our bodies (before we getting rid of unneeded stuff).

Saying that, please remember that each part of our bodies uses water in various chemical reactions - so the worse type of water we drink the worse our bodies get.

Of course our bodies can and do fight against those unwanted things inside us, but please remember that we also live in polluted environment, eat crap food and most days spend on sofas watching movies instead of exercise, so we actually do everything we can to disturb our bodies to get clean.

Do you get what am I saying?

By drinking clear water we give a little help to our bodies, so they can focus on other tasks they have to do every day.


So what does it mean clean water?

Do you realize that water we drink is already recycled?

I mean water has been in the Earth for millions of years, and since very beginning humans were using it  almost for everything.

For example for washing our dishes, cloths, cleaning our flats etc...
Then water goes down through our pipes to the river, then in the next city is being used again as a tap water (of course previously chemically cleaned), and so on and so on...

And what about rain?

Have you ever noticed that after rain we have a clear crispy air and we just love smelling it as "smells delicious"?
Rain clears air from pollution in it, but then goes down to the ground, to the rivers, oceans and then we use it (after chemically cleansing it) as a tap water...

And how we chemically clean (recycle) water?

In almost each city there is a sewage treatment plant - which is great as we need it desperately, but also  most of times, chlorine is added to water to additionally kill  dangerous bacteria from it.

So what is wrong with chlorine?

"Chlorine is a naturally occurring element; symbol Cl, atomic number 17 on the periodic table. It's a very dangerous toxin that has many uses, from disinfecting to bleaching. In small quantities, liquid and gas forms can be poisonous.

In its gas form, chlorine is a pale green color and has a smelly odor and makes your breathing labored. In its solid form, it's more of a yellow green color. It is abundant in nature in its chloride ion form found in many of the salts that are in the earth.

Many animals, including humans need chlorine. But there is a limit to what we can physically tolerate"...

"Chlorine is used to keep our water clean by disinfecting it and killing germs. And it does a marvelous job at eliminating most pathogens from the water we drink.

But the use of this powerful chemical has a downside. According to a report from the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality, the cancer risk for people who drink chlorinated water is up to 93% higher than for those whose water does not contain chlorine.

When chlorine was first introduced to the water supply, it brought a rapid reduction in the spread of disease and other water-borne ailments. It made it easier for cities and towns to purify drinking water and to keep their residents safe.

Now, however, it seems like these advancements have come at a price. While we recognize and applaud the benefits chlorine has brought to us, it’s time we also protect ourselves from the harms of drinking chlorine – particularly because that turns out to be a pretty easy thing to do for your health and the health of your family"...

To drink or not to drink tap water? That is the question - which you need to answer for yourselves.
If you ask me? I use water filters (and changing them systematically).

What about mineral water which comes from bottles?

Yes, water we buy is good for us, either it's mineral or spring one - obviously the best one is flat without gas, but we can buy slightly sparkled which is still ok.

But we need to remember one thing:

Lack of minerals in our bodies is as dangerous as absorbing too many of them, so please make sure to take some breaks (around 2 weeks), specially when you drink water with double amount of minerals.

So what to drink then?

You can go back to filtered water or continue drinking from bottles - just remember to buy ones with no minerals added on it.

We all heard commercials about drinking up to 2 liters of water per day, yes there is a wisdom in it, but when we say water, we also mean water which comes from fruits and vegetables.

So when you count your water intake, you can also add amount of juices you drink per day.

What is important about our colorful friends?

Please make sure you drink juices with NO added sugar on them, so always read ingredients part.
Naturally accuring sugars are normal and healthy to drink, as mostly is a fructose (low GI).

TIP:
By drinking more water we can help  ourselves to loose weight, as we are helping our bodies to clean up from toxins, also by "teaching"our bodies, that we have sufficient amount of water every day, so we don't need to store excess of it.

Does it sound weird?

Well, our bodies are programmed to survive, so doesn't matter which century we live in , we are still animals and have our instincts - one of them is survival one.



Now I would like to go back to emotional part of our subject with a fantastic sentence which should be our life motto:

                                                       MY BODY IS MY TEMPLE

Understanding it's meaning: I am important, I do matter, my body is part of me and I respect it.
I am grateful for taking such a good care of me for those years, I cherish it, I feed it with food which brings me health and energy, and the most important sentence: I LOVE MYSELF COMPLETELY.

I would like you to realize that we are inseparable from our bodies - mind cannot exists without body and vice versa.

I am hoping, that you are starting to see how everything  is connected to everything.

The way we eat influences our bodies, and our bodies influence our minds and our minds influence our perception of life, and how we see our lifes influences how and what we eat ,...,

So to sum up:

If we eat crap food we look crap, fell old, chubby, powerless, angry, depressed ...
These are all negative emotions which are weighting us down and stopping us from moving on to more happy and fulfilled life.

EMOTIONS - can be friends or our worst enemies, but their are always with us.

That is why, it is so important to take care of our emotional bodies as much as our physical ones.

We need to find a peace and balance between those two, as lack of it will influence our all existence.

So as you can see now, even if you are trying to eat proper food, exercise ... - you will never be healthy and have a beautiful slim body until you start taking care of your emotional part of you as well.


Tasks I am going to be asking you to do in future posts are for your benefits, to help you understand yourself better and most of all to love and cherish  yourselves.

Some of them will be easy, some of them you will find ridiculous, but I promise - soon you will all start looking at yourself from the other angle.

In my next post I will go back to the task I asked you to fulfill in my previous post.


Thank you all for spending your time with me today.

Wish you all a pleasant day.
