Dear Reader,
It has been another hectic week.
Just completed another short book. Will be available soon on Amazon.
Now more than ever, I think people need some words of faith, hope and encouragement. The book contains some knowledge that has helped me through the hardest parts of my life- so I know the wisdom can help others through this challenging time
Anyway, let’s get started. First of all, I want to briefly review what I have suggested over the last few weeks.
- I have suggested that you do one hour’s worth of road work every morning right after you get up for six days a week.
- I have suggested you eat three pieces of fruit every day.
- I have suggested you fast one day a week.
Now, let’s go from there. What else should your daily diet consist of? Well, today I would like to share the part of my diet that has allowed me to stay youthful-looking well into my 40s.
I still get asked on occasion for ID; you can imagine the hassle I used to get when I was 18. Yeah, it wasn’t much fun, but now I take it as a compliment.
And don’t worry it not something exotic that you will have to import, or something expensive. It’s something so easily obtained that many will dismiss it.
WATER.
I’m sure you have heard the old wife’s tale, you must drink 8 pints of water a day. Well, I’m not recommending that. What I am suggesting, however, is that you drink more water than you do now.
I’m sure everyone learnt in school that the body is made up of 70-80% water. Knowing that it makes sense that our diet should contain 70-80% water-based foods?
Drinking water is just one source of water; another is vegetables. What I suggest is that you take vegetables with every meal.
As well as keeping you youthful, getting into the habit of drinking water and eating more water-based foods will also keep you from feeling tired because it keeps your blood sugar level at a more or less constant level.
This is not new information I know… but very often it’s the basics that people overlook.
Most people drink a lot of coffee, tea or soft drinks, thinking they get enough water there, but truth be told the water in them drinks, contain caffeine and other chemicals that dehydrate the body.
Meaning they take water to break down.
To anyone that is reading this, that suffers from headaches try this, for seven days drink two pints of water daily. I guarantee you will get relief.
Water is my secret weapon. It keeps me healthy and lean and full of energy. Add more to your diet, and you will not only see the difference you will feel the difference.
That’s it pretty much for today. Hope everyone is safe at this time.
In a world that seems entirely out of control, all we can do is take control of ourselves—inspiring those around us.
Bye for now,
RJM
