WATER is important A shortage of water and minerals can affect your digestive health. This includes causing ulcers, gastritis, and acid reflex. Dehydration also affects your bladder and kidneys. When you do not drink enough, toxins and acid waste accumulate and create an environment where bacteria can thrive. This can make you more susceptible to bladder and kidney infections. In fact, the colon is one of the main organs that actually absorb a lot of water. Drinking enough water can ward off constipation. Last but not least, but dehydration can cause you to gain weight because your cells need more fuel. This will trick your body into thinking that it is hungry for food, when in reality your body is thirsty and just needs some hydration. According to new research, there are different times of day that are best to drink water to help fight against chronic diseases. This research is still ongoing at this time, but so far it does seem to suggest this. The best times to drink water according to the research: 2 glasses of water after waking up – helps activate internal organs (adding some lemon juice is beneficial) 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion 1 glass of water before taking a bath – helps lower blood pressure 1 glass of water before going to bed – helps prevent stroke or heart attack It goes on even further to suggest that drinking water before bedtime can help reduce or prevent leg cramps as well. This is due to your legs cramping up because those muscles are seeking hydration. For more tips and recipes. Slimming down with Debra
