4 Hydrating Tips and Tricks for Everyone

tips-to-hydrate

I have become very inspired by many of you recently as you have been eating more healthy, working out more, being more positive, and keeping your adjustment schedules. In a World where marketing is heavy into unhealthy food, living a sedentary lifestyle, being negative, and taking meds, many of you have begun to make “Being Healthy” part of you and it is now becoming your lifestyle. I remember a few years back my mentor said “Winners are willing to do what losers are not”. I commend all of you on being different and taking up a healthy lifestyle as this is not the norm in our society.

The area where I want to review today that many of you are still not doing is about hydration and the vital importance of it. This is something my wife and I have recently implemented into our lives as we recently invested in an alkaline water machine for the office. We have noticed a huge difference in our energy and health from drinking this water and many of you have shared this as well.

The human body is designed to be 60-70% water but unfortunately most people are dehydrated and not drinking enough clean water. This can cause a host of problems as the body depends on a clean, fresh supply of water throughout the day.

Being dehydrated can affect your hormones, so if you are someone trying to lose weight then sometimes a cup of water could help drop those pounds. This happens because our body can confuse hunger for thirst so when you feel hungry really your body may just need some water instead of overeating.

On April 17th we have Dr. Joe Hudak, who is an expert in health, coming to the office to share about hydration. He will also be testing your water to see if the water you drink is healthy and what the pH level is so make sure you bring the water you most commonly drink. We will also be giving out cards that will allow you to fill up a gallon of our water for 2 weeks. Dr. Hudak will also be giving everyone who attends a BPA-Free 1 gallon jug of alkaline water at his expense.

Here are 4 simple steps to stay hydrated:

1) Get a 1 Gallon Jug – Go to Amazon or any grocery store and get a 1 gallon water jug that is BPA Free. The key is to fill it up daily and drink that throughout the day. We will be giving everyone a free one at our water workshop so make sure to come to that on April 17th at 6:30 PM. By drinking 1 gallon of water throughout the day you are getting 128 ounces which is plenty to hydrate the body for 1 day. The standard is to drink half your body weight in ounces for the day. Example: I weigh 180 pounds so everyday I should be drinking a minimum of 90 ounces of water. Here is a link to a jug I found on Amazon: 1 Gallon Water Jug

2) Go Alkaline – Most of the water all of us drink daily contains fluoride, chlorine, and other toxic chemicals that are foreign agents to our body. There have been studies that have showed traces of pharmaceutical drugs in the water supply and in Philadelphia they found 56 different drugs in their water. This is very low regulated by government and this is why I am bringing the expert, Dr. Joe Hudak to do demos on water and show us exactly what is in YOUR water. I highly recommend investing in an alkaline water machine as it not only cleans the water but it can change the pH levels to be more congruent with your body. The water machine we bought for the office was only $1/day and I truly feel will pay dividends as the years go on. I have actually noticed we are saving money as we don’t buy bottles water anymore. “The best investment is the one in yourself”

3) Drink Room Temperature Water – Now that you are drinking a gallon of alkaline water every day the next step is to make this water room temperature. If you think back to when we were hunters and gatherers the water we drank was not refrigerated or drowning in ice. We would gather gallons of water and they would sit in tents or whatever else the hunters and gatherers built for homes. When we drink cold water it slows down digestion and our body has to work hard to make this water warm so it can go through the body. To get the best bang for your buck drink room temperature water at all times especially during meals.

4) Add Lemon to Your Water – The final step to staying healthy and hydrated would be to add some lemon to your water. In my e-book I talk about how every morning it is great to drink a glass of water with squeezed lemon in the glass to help energize and wake up your body. Lemon has many anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that make a great addition to your food but especially water upon rising. It also helps to alkalize the body and keep the pH balanced.

 

 

In addition to hindered fat loss, one of the most common misconceptions is that drinking water cause water retention. The truth is the exact opposite. Lack of water causes water retention. The reason for this is that the body perceives the shortage when it is provided with less than it needs thus causing what is commonly referred to as “survival mode”, retaining every least drop that it can.

 

Water is not only a natural appetite suppressant, but it actually helps the body metabolize stored fat. When the body does not have a good supply of water to draw from to perform required physiological tasks, it will draw water from inside the bodies cells, including fat cells, in order to perform the desired tasks.

5 Steps to A Happy Healthy Life

5-steps-healthy-life

This past Tuesday night we held our 21 Day Mental Detox workshop where I showed everyone 5 simple steps to begin to rewire the brain for happiness. In a World where the news, radio, and TV focuses primarily on negative information it is crucial we wire the brain for positivity and happiness. There are too many people walking around who have been brainwashed from these media outlets believing people are bad, the economy is bad, the World is going to blow up, body symptoms are ok, processed foods are not that bad, and the list could go on. Unfortunately people are taking this on to dictate and determine their happiness but little do they know that this is a small percentage.

This World of media and other resources is scientifically proven to dictate only 10% of someones long term happiness. The 90% of happiness comes from how the BRAIN process this information. As Shawn Anchors says so eloquently “It is not the reality that shapes us but the lens through which our brain views the World that shapes our reality and if we can change our lens then we can change our happiness.”

For us to change this lens we detox and flush out all the garbage between the ears by doing the 5 following steps for the next 21 days.

5 Steps to Happiness

 

1) Attitude of Gratitude

Write out 3 things you are grateful for. This has you scan for what is positive in the World and begin to rewire your brain for positivity.

2) Journaling

Write out 1 success that has happened within 24 hours. This allows you to look book in your life and see how successful you are.

3) Exercise

This begins to create behavioral changes and shifts for the body to start working out more and making lifestyle changes. More importantly it begins to create a healthier YOU.

4) Meditate

In a World where people cannot focus for more than 2 seconds this begins to slow down the brain to help you concentrate more and focus. I recommend downloading the Podcasts app on your phone and download the Chopra Center podcasts for guided meditations.

5) Random Acts of Kindness

Do 1 thing a day for someone else.

Atlanta’s Healthiest Health Fair 2013

In roughly two weeks you will have the opportunity to take part in 2nd Annual Atlanta’s Top Health Fair. As many of you remember we held our first one December 15 and based on everyone’s positive feedback we have brought is back. What inspires are about this health fair is that it is exactly what we say a “health fair”.

What I mean by this is many of you have been to numerous company health fairs, got your “numbers” checked from your MD, had your blood pressure and cholesterol checked, gotten flu shots, but have not taken part in what is considered a true health fairs. Most of the tests  performed in this screenings are outdated and performed by looking at the body from the outside-in. They are done to check if you need to be put on medication the rest of your life but are not being performed proactively.

The vendors we will have at our Health Fair represent the healthiest companies and are done by looking at the body holistically and from the inside out. Below are a list of each vendor and please read the description of WHY they are being invited. One of our clients got his life saved because of the thermography scan he had done and another client told me her friend found out she had breast cancer at 32 years old and is making sure she gets scanned this time.

You and I get one body that was given to us in a perfect design from the second it was born and how we take care of it now determines how it will perform in the future. Pain, cancer, heart disease, depression, diabetes, ADD, and many other lifestyle problems in today’s World do not need to happen so please come out and bring guests to help our practice create a healthier community that our children can grow up in.

VENDORS

  • Cohen Chiropractic Centre – We will be performing complimentary posture and nerve scan assessments on your friends, family, and co-workers. For all those people that keep telling you “I really need to see your chiropractor” or for the ones you know who NEED to be in our office then this is a great opportunity to bring them by. We will be doing assessments every 15 minutes beginning at 8:00 AM so please let us know who you will be bringing.
  • Mobile Thermography – This service is being brought back to the office for our health fair for 2 main reasons. The first is the people who did it in December get to find out their baseline. The second is for all of you who did not do it in December need to take advantage of this service. You especially need to take advantage of this if you are a female between the ages of 25-45 and have a history of cancer. I have WAY to many young people coming into the office telling me either they have been diagnosed with breast cancer or have a friend they know who was diagnosed. This is a terrible disease I hope nobody ever has to suffer with and having Mobile Thermography check your breasts is a great proactive tool. Please read this article and let us know which time you would like to book.

  • Edesia Meals – For those of you who came to our Paleo Cooking Class you got to try some of Chef Veronica’s amazing food and for those that did not here is your opportunity. Chef Veronica has a paleo meal delivery service which I order from regularly as the meals are super healthy and convenient for people with a busy schedule.
  • Beyond Organic – Beyond Organic has been part of the practice for the past year and many of you have even done the 3 Day Suero Cleanse. Their company founded by NY Times Best Selling Author Jordan Rubin exemplifies everything my practice stands for which is service, health, and a better World. They will have reps there sampling some of their food and will be running specials this day for certain food packages. They have recently repackaged their raw cheese and it is so much better and easier to eat.
  • Standard Process –  For the past 5 months my wife and I have been taking the General Health Packets which are our daily vitamins and this is the first time I have noticed a difference in taking supplements. Standard Process is a company that has been around for over 70 years and their claim to fame is their whole food based vitamin Catalyn. If any of you have specific issues such as depression, diabetes, high cholesterol, or any other problem well you can get checked to see if their supplements can benefit you naturally.

  • Body Fat Assessments – Outside the practice we will be brining out Bali who has been checking my body fat percentages every 6 months. Too many people focus on weight and BMI for their health but his hydrostatic tests can accurately tell you not only your weight but body fat percentage. He will review your numbers and tell you how much you need to workout and how much to eat to achieve your goals. If yu do not know your numbers then it is crucial to get this checked. He only charges $25 and the sign up sheets will be at the office.
