A Liquid that is freely available, that will get you upto 30% more calories burnt a day

Human beings cannot survive without water! In fact our whole body is composed of water more than anything else. Hence, water is the most important source of our existence.

Approximately 60 to 75 percent of the body is made up of water. However, that does not mean that you will not need to drink adequate water. An average adult will require 8 to 10 glasses of water every day to keep the system functioning properly and to smoothen the metabolic activities. (more…)

Water is Life

Water effect on our bodies

We are born in a watery world, we are creatures of water, here’s a few quick statistics of what we are made up of.

85% of our brain is water

82% of our blood

90% of our lungs

70% of our muscles

15% of our bones

On average 65-70% of our bodies are made up of water.

So you think we need to drink up? I think that goes without saying really. I know for some of you it might be hard, you were never brought up drinking water, you would prefer to down a cup of coffee, or an orange juice, and think that’s going to hydrate you.

The NEWSTART 5, 2, 1

As I see it the most important and vital part of the NEWSTART program is time spent with God, I posted an article on this a little while ago. Followed closely by Nutrition and Exercise. I think all the other categories, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air and Rest complement and support the top three factors.

On a weekly/daily basis this is what I do.

I was really fortunate that I had a mother that taught me to drink water from an early age, so I didn’t have the additional task of having to change my tastes to do something that is extremely vital for us on a daily basis.

I drink 2.5-3 litres of water on a daily basis. I find without water I loose my concentration, I lack energy and just can’t sustain the workload I do on a daily basis.

Sunshine

I try to get out in the sunshine at least 3-4 times a week, it always leaves me feeling vitalised and literally buzzing with energy. I think it could be something to do with the endorphins it helps our bodies release. Alongside of all the awesome things that it does, in summer I am hoping to exercise outside as well. In my article I think I mentioned how the Roman’s and Spartans used to train in the sun, because they already worked out, they got stronger. (more…)
