The Miracle Drug!

As I have been aging, as we all do,
I have really started to notice the changes with my skin.
little lines looking like little highways on a road map.
There are freckles, scratches, age lines, dry skin.
The best thing any of us can do is to drink lots and lots of water.
I can literally notice within a couple of days if I am drinking enough or not.
Also because I have problems with circulation, sometimes just to touch my legs
feels sore to the touch. If I drink enough water, there are no pains.
I have read that when babies are born they are 85% water,
which I find fascinating. As we age we shrink, loss of body mass, and that
number decreases as we continue to age. Apparently stress and dehydration
have very similar qualities and are often linked to chronic illnesses.
Also our brains are about 85 % water,
so if we are not drinking enough then our brain is not acting
as best as it could be.
Some of this info I have read on wikipedia.
I know this, this is something I can control,
With proper levels of water I can look years younger,
I can feel years younger, I can have less pain,
so it is a win, win for me.
............
I hope this encourages you to make sure you are drinking enough water.
It really is Gods Miracle Drug!
Have a great day.
Cheers.

  5. I try! I really do! But as much as I drink it, I haven't come to like it at all. Trying lemon, that may help a little. Someone told me to try a slice of orange, think I'll try it that way. I have trouble with dry skin, so I KNOW I have to drink more. /sigh

    Ms. Cinner, that bear climbing down the tree is the mama. The wee tiny heads in the hole in the tree are the two cups.

  7. Hello Cinner, I came here through Moments of Mine and wanted you to know that you have another follower cheering you on!

    I always forget to drink water. I said to my hubby that I should buy a big, red mug...he asked why and I replied, 'the colour will hit me in the face and remind me to fill it with water and drink!'

    Thanks for your bright posts!
