Newsletter Recipes
Water
August 2013
  • First thing in the morning, fill a mug with freshly boiled water.
  • Add a dash of apple cider vinegar and a squeeze of fresh lemon.  Sip as you start your day.
  • According to Ayuveda, hot water more easily penetrates your lymph system, helping to cure dehydration at a cellular level and to move things through the lymph system more easily.
With cold water
  • Add lemon, or
  • Add slices of cucumber, or
  • Add a sliver or orange, or  
  • Add lime, or
  • Add kiwi, or
  • Add blueberries (we add frozen blueberries in place of ice).
You can now buy water bottles with a removable bottom that allows you to add fruit or vegetables that it then crushes to infuse your water.  
 
Quick tips:
  • Make it easy to drink water - keep a glass by your side when you are cooking, watching TV, reading, and, of course, exercising.
  • When you reach into the refrigerator for something to eat or drink, first have a glass of water.
  • When you need a break from what you are doing, grab a glass of water.
  • Track how much water you drink in a day  - you might be surprised.
  • As a rule of thumb, try dividing your weight (in pounds) by 2 and drinking that many ounces of water each day.   See how it makes you feel.  If you exercise, you will need more than this.
  • If you are worried about having to get up in the middle of the night, drink most of your water early in the day.
