Guest guest Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Hi Peela and everybody, Thanks for your reply. Last few days, I have monitored the amount of water (including soups coffee, tea and diet coke) that I drank. I found out that the amount of water-intake per day for me was about 1.5-1.8 liter. One day, I was so busy at work, I drunk less than 1.2 liter. I found darker urine (on that day) and "dry-lip" (later). I agree with you that we should drink about 2 liters of water daily. Tai.peela <peela wrote: > Anyway, I have a question to Peela: How did you determine that we need two liters of water per day? I mean if it is based on "thirsty sensation", ionic strength in the blood/urine, urine color or some other methods. Thanks. Tai>>> >Hi Tai,I didnt come up with that figure of 2 litres. In Australia we use metric. The 8 times 8oz glasses is the figure I see thrown about in the imperial system, and that seems to have been translated to 2 litres of water a day in the metric system. It is just a figure that is commonly used, and I have often wondered myself how that figure was reached by someone. I am not sure that since then everyone hasn't simply grabbed that figure and bandied it about, not knowing where it originated, but I know natural practioners who use it, and I even see it in health articles written in the newspaper. "everyone" should drink 2 litres of water a day.Again, I think for people who dont drink enough water and who havnt for years, it probably wont do them any harm and may do some or much good, if they drink good water. But I am not convinced people who are generally hydrated and look after themselves should all be drinking a fixed amount of water. At a certain point, I think the advice should be much more individualized.just my thoughts at this momentPeelaFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 28, 2005 really? Only water counts as water. Herb tea may be water but I don't count it as such. Especially diet soda products are Bad..I would be hard pressed to decide which to drink--a soda with sugar or a soda with artificial sweetener. Water is a cleanser and hydrator, cola has caffeine, acid, and sugar, which need to be cleansed from your body and you will need even more water to eliminate those toxins.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2005 IMO, when deciding to put something into your body it is important to decide whether you are trying " slide by " by picking whatever seems to do the least amount of damage, or whether you are choosing health and wanting to put something in your body that will help build it up. Keep this in mind as you read the words " safer for your body. " An excellent article by a well known and experienced professional Dr. William von Peters N.M.D. Ph.D June 23, 2004 Thirst Quencher - PowerAde or Gatorade? The two top " sports drinks " in America both claim to hydrate the body and replace electrolytes -- but which is healthier not just for athletes, but us average Joes who just want a healthy drink? Lets see: GATORADE Ingredients: water, sucrose syrup, glucose-fructose syrup, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, salt, sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, ester gum. POWERADE Ingredients: water, high fructose corn syrupmaltodextrin (glucose polymers), citric acid, salt, potassium citrate, modified food starch, potassium phosphate, natural flavors, glycerol ester of wood rosin, guar gum, niacinamide (B3), coconut oil, brominated vegetable oil, pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), Cyanocobalamin (B12). PowerAde appears to have the edge in nutrition here with its extra minerals albeit synthetic, but there are possible warning signs in the brominated vegetable oil, and glycerol ester of wood rosin. The big kick in the rear - PowerAde's high fructose corn syrup. HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP - Simply stated: It is NOT good for you Ever wonder why Americans are so fat? High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) consumption closely parallels (causes?) the fattening of America. And, HFCS has been linked to insulin resistance and elevated triglyceride levels (a heart disease marker). FRUCTOSE vs. GLUCOSE Why the problems? Unlike glucose, fructose is almost entirely metabolized in the liver. When fructose reaches the liver, says Dr. William J. Whelan, a biochemist at the University of Miami School of Medicine, " the liver goes bananas and stops everything else to metabolize the fructose. " 1 Eating fructose results not only in lower insulin levels but also lower leptin levels. Because both hormones are involved in appetite control, eating lots of fructose " could increase the likelihood of weight gain. " THE ANIMAL STUDY (don't skip this one guys and gals!) " Sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose. When sugar is given to rats in high amounts, the rats develop multiple health problems, especially when the rats were deficient in certain nutrients, such as copper. The researchers wanted to know whether it was the fructose or the glucose moiety that was causing the problems. So they repeated their studies with two groups of rats, one given high amounts of glucose and one given high amounts of fructose. The glucose group was unaffected but the fructose group had disastrous results. The male rats did not reach adulthood. They had anemia, high cholesterol and heart hypertrophy-that means that their hearts enlarged until they exploded. They also had delayed testicular development. Dr. Field explains that fructose in combination with copper deficiency in the growing animal interferes with collagen production. (Copper deficiency, by the way, is widespread in America.) In a nutshell, the little bodies of the rats just fell apart. The females were not so affected, but they were unable to produce live young. " 2 GATORADE Gatorade, unlike PowerAde, uses sucrose and glucose with glucose- fructose syrup. Sucrose is glucose plus fructose stuck together. Because the fructose in sucrose is bound up, it is much safer for your body. In fact, glucose is a normal body constituent and thus metabolized without problem. Energy production therefore, should be higher and more consistent. And, unlike HFCS glucose does not shut down the liver- which is needed to cleanse the body and maintain it during and after heavy activity such as sports. THOUGHTS Why drink sports drinks at all? To rehydrate the body faster than with water. That is the supposed purpose of sports drinks. Problems: The fructose in HFCS is not bound up in sucrose, resulting in more of it getting into the system faster - affecting the liver and bodily function. Not to mention that fructose also depletes the body of its minerals faster than glucose - causing exhaustion rather than relieving it. Is that why PowerAde has some extra vitamins? Note that these adverse effects of fructose are most severe in the growing children consider what your child (and you!) are drinking. Gatorade seems definitely to be a better product to use as a sports drink - both healthier and better utilized by the body. To learn more about HFCS you can visit the Weston-Price Foundation ( http://www.westonaprice.org ), and look at numerous articles on the internet detailing the adverse effects of high fructose corn syrup. Be healthy! Dr. William von Peters, N.M.D., Ph.D. Dr. von Peters, a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and Alternative Medicine Specialist, since 1976 has helped many people regain their health.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2006 Pure water is the best. Aquafina or make your own, I have a reverse osmosis filter, my water comes out at 3tds, Aquafina comes out at 0 I think Distilled comes out at 0 too. My tap water is 43 and I lived in an area one time, where it came out at 343, thats really bad. Pure water takes the bad minerals out of your body. herbal remedies , " Kim " <irishgirl75 wrote: > > What is the best water?

Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2006 Distilled water is best for getting rid of all the toxins in your body, but it shouldn't be used for more than 6 months at a time because it gets rid of everything. The best water to drink is rain water actually, but you can filter your own water, boiling it first can help eliminate all the junk in the water then put it in a glass bottle. - Kim herbal remedies Friday, March 31, 2006 1:23 PM Herbal Remedies - Water What is the best water?

Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2006 If you use distilled water for drinking, always replace the minerals by adding some good quality sea salt. If you don't, the water will try and leech the minerals from your body. Something I read about 10 days ago.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2006 I can't help but wonder, where in nature can you find distilled water? To me it is an un-natural product. Nature can filter water but as far as I know, nature cannot distill water. Something to consider. Barb - silverhermit herbal remedies Friday, March 31, 2006 6:47 PM Herbal Remedies - Water good day kim. i try to drink nothing but distilled water for a few reasons. distilled water is pure water and nothing else. distilled water really helps to remove all the toxins in our body. because distilled h2o2 is pure and has no inorganic materials in it it will pass through our system without leaving these inorganic materials behind. im not too sure about distilled h2o2 leaching minerals from the body. my thinking is that distilled water is free of minerals and other inorganic stuff that it will absorb all the unused and unuseable minerals and toxins that are in the body and flush them out. so in a way i can see why some would think that it leaches out minerals if the urine is tested. i can go on and on about distilled water but i wont since you only asked for some opinions. anywho, i hope this helps a bit. vaarwel - Kim herbal remedies Friday, March 31, 2006 11:23 AM Herbal Remedies - Water What is the best water?

Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2006 Hi Barb, Consider that the process of evaporation is distillation!

Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2006 thats a good point barb. nature naturally produces "distilled" water, i.e. rain water and snow, but because there a so many pollutants in the air now that when the water condenses it will pick up oodles of these. acid rain is an example of this. - Barb Leppky herbal remedies Saturday, April 01, 2006 8:50 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - Water I can't help but wonder, where in nature can you find distilled water?

Guest guest Report post Posted April 2, 2006 Incase anyone needs more information about deciding on distilled water. I drank distilled water for 3 years and had no problem. I read on some sites that doctors were saying you shouldn't drink it for more than 6 months. I drank it for 3 years, I'd like to know what do they think will happen if you drink it for longer. I drink reverse osmosis now, only because it doesn't put off all that heat, and it's quicker to make. herbal remedies , " cherokeewo " <cherokeewo wrote: > > Concerning the discussion of waters as of late.
