The New Wellness Revolution

Water is very essential in our body.  Some might have taken water for granted but without us realizing it, it’s the second essential element that our body requires to survive next to oxygen.

We need fresh water to aid our body in many ways:

1. It aids in the digestion and absorption of our food.

2. It helps regulate body temperature.

3. It helps our body organs function well.

4. It helps prevent illnesses (through water therapy), if you drink enough water everyday.

5. If you are a health enthusiast, water will help you improve good health.

So why not drink at least 8 glasses of water every single day and see for youself the tremendous effect it will do.

But take note though, it’s also important you know that colored drinks like juices should never be counted in your daily water requirement. If you get to drink cola’s or you have a  medication, you need more water to wash away the toxins in your body.

Hence, count your fresh water intake everyday and avoid being dehydrated.

In as much as you would like to stay healthy, being too caught up with a lot of things gives you no other option but to drop-by and eat your favorite fast food chain.

Food poisoning is one of the common illness yet life threatening at he same time. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping and diarrhea that comes in within 48 hours after consuming the contaminated food or drinks.

It is important that you know how to handle yourself if you have eaten a contaminated food or drinks. Here are simple tips that you should follow:

1. Make sure you drink 1 glass water after you you vomit or after you go to the C. R.This will help you get rehydrated.

2. Take 2 tablets of Fiber & Herb every after meal.

3. Take a nap and plenty of rest.

If the case is severe, go to the nearest hospital in your area for a check-up and series of laboratory tests just to be sure.
