I know that so many of you live with husbands/partners/significant others who steadfastly refuse to drink sufficient water everyday. The excuses are many and varied, but the bottom line is...we need to drink 1/2 our weight in ounces of water, daily. Just as important is that we don't drink a lot of water at one time. Too much water in a short period of time can cause electrolyte imbalances....potassium being the most easily washed away. Eight ounces of water every half hour is optimal.
When any of those you love ask you why it's so important for them to "bother" drinking...here's a cautionary tale for you to tell:
There is a person whom I have been trying to convince to drink more water for years. This individual typically only drank with meals (I've written about the problems associated with doing that) and only 6-8 ounces at a time. Now, at an advanced age, even though this person is physically active, the body is showing signs of too little water over a period of time... increased hydrostatic pressure in the kidneys leading to imbalances in the cardiovascular system. (This has been medically verified) The reason for this, actually, has to do with acupuncture meridians.
Meridian energy is divided into four categories: earth, wind, fire and water. These four elements mitigate the balances in all of our meridians. In this case, the imbalance is caused in the water-mitigated meridians...the kidney and bladder as well as the fire-mitigated meridian...the heart (triple warmer) because water controls fire. So, now we need to re-balance this person's entire meridian energy system.
We need water in our daily lives, no matter what someone's opinion may be to the contrary. How easy is it to simply drink water and how devastating the consequences may be when we don't?
