GFY-N! Transitions - Week 5

Greetings from Me and My House,

For our first 4 weeks of our 7 week transition to a Good for You-Naturally! Lifestyle of Eating we have added God's 4 Original Food Groups. This week we will add the 5th Step, also a provision given in the Garden, by God, as a necessity for man's life and health, pure water.

Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, Step 4

Our bodies, like our earth, are made up of about three-foruths water. It is necessary for every function of our bodies. And it is important that we have pure water that is helping to flush toxins and wastes out of our body, rather than adding more to it, in addition to keeping our bodies hydrated. Most American's don't drink enough water to keep their bodies hydrated, which is evident in many of our common diseases.

To figure your personal water requirement take your weight in pounds divided by 2 and that is how many ounces of pure water you need daily. So you see the 8 glasses per day rule only works if you weigh 128 pounds.

Don't like the taste of water? Once you taste cool pure water, you may realize it isn't water you don't like, but the chemicals you've been tasting in tap water. Try pure water. Distilled or Reverse Osmosis purified water is best.

Purified water can be purchased in individual serving bottles (Aquafina is best, not brands "enhanced with minerals" - weird what we buy these days, but try telling your grandmother that you've been paying over $4 for a cup of coffee), or distilled can be bought in gallon jugs, or you can fill and refill jugs from purified water machines in grocery stores (usually the same purifying process as Aquafina, and our own home water purifying system).

For times when no purified water is available, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice (a great detoxifier) into your water or add a couple drops of Therapeutic-grade Lemon Essential Oil (preferably in a glass glass, never to styrofoam, or even thin plastics). There are a couple other alternatives, but I'll spare you anything more detailed here.

Just begin this week to drink your personal pure water requirement each day. Yes, you may feel like you are floating away, or living in the restroom at first. That's good. Your body is flushing itself out, trying to cleanse itself. It will stabilize, and you'll feel better in the process. And your body will thank you.
