Beat Water Retention With...Water!

Wise Water International agrees that the best way to beat bloating is to give your body what it needs. Lots of water!
We are always amazed to hear people say that they do not want to drink a lot of water because it "bloats" them or it makes them "retain water." In fact, it does the exact opposite. People retain water because they're not drinking enough water! The human body functions in a "Primal Survival Mode" and it responds to anything it perceives as a possible threat to its survival. If you deprive your body of ample amounts of water, you are threatening its survival. In response, your body kicks into its "Primal Survival Mode" and holds onto every drop of water it possibly can for future needs and purposes. This water is often stored in extra-cellular spaces and appears as bloated hands, legs and feet.
If you're currently using or thinking of using diuretics to decrease water retention, think again. With diuretics, not only is the "Primal Survival Mode" activated, where your body hoards as much water as it can, but you are also draining your body of valuable vitamins and minerals. If you have long-term water retention issues, you may be ingesting too much sodium. Our bodies can only tolerate so much sodium. The more sodium you take in, the more water your body will retain to dilute the sodium concentrations. By simply cutting down on your sodium intake and drinking plenty of water, you'll notice considerably less bloating. The water will carry the excess sodium along for the ride as it flows through the kidneys.
For healthier and safer drinking, drink purified water daily. To learn more please contact Wise Water International at 1-866-427-7757.

12 Signs You Are Not Drinking Enough Water

Water makes up to 80% of your body but unfortunately not many people take the issue of drinking enough water seriously. This leads to dehydration. Here are 12 signs from Wise Water International that you are probably not drinking enough water.

Reduced urine

A normal human being who drinks enough water urinates five times in a day. If you make lesser trips to the rest rooms, you are not drinking enough water. The water you pass out should also be clear to light yellow. If you pass out water that is dark yellow, your body is dehydrated.

Feeling thirsty

Water makes you feel fresh and better. If you drink insufficient water, you will experience feeling thirsty and your brain will be pushing you to drink more water.

Mouth dryness

Typically water acts as a lubricant for the mucus membranes in the mouth and the throat region. Drinking enough water ensures that your mouth is kept moist. If you feel a sticky feeling in your mouth and throat, you should reach for a glass of water.

Dry skin

Since the skin covers the largest part of your body, it is important to keep it hydrated. If you realize that your skin is becoming drier each day then you should know that you are not drinking enough water.

Decreased muscle mass

The mass of your muscles is comprised of water.  Water is necessary before and after workouts to keep the form of your muscles at par. Water also decreases the chances of inflammation during weightlifting.

Prolonged sickness

Water helps your body to get rid of toxins. This means decreased chances of sickness or quick recovery. When your water intake is insufficient, you will stay sick for longer since toxins will be in high concentration in your body, also lowering your immunity. When you are sick, water is required in your body to fight the disease out.

Unusual fatigue

A dehydrated body borrows water from other sources like your blood and makes you feel tired. This is because a dehydrated body lacks enough oxygen which leads to fatigue and lack of sleep. Try increasing your intake of water. Avoid sodas and caffeinated teas.

Digestive problems

A low intake of water means that the mucus in the stomach and the digestion system will be weak. This allows the hydrochloric acid in your body to serve the functions of water which leads to digestion complications. If the acid goes beyond reach you will experience indigestion and effects of heart burn.

Constipation

A dehydrated body forces the colon to use all the water that is important during digestion. This means that there will be no lubricant left in the body, resulting in constipation. The digestive system needs to be hydrated to allow “that waste” to come out with ease.

Early aging

Age is inversely proportional to the amount of water in our bodies. As you get older you need to increase water intake so that your skin looks younger. Early aging will be seen clearly by the looks of your skin.

Aching joints

Friction between the bones causes pain along the joints. To reduce friction, it is important to take in enough water so that the joints will be lubricated. It is important to note that water makes up a larger percentage of the cartilages and the spinal discs. Drinking enough water ensures that the joints absorb shocks which are caused by sudden movements and the bones will not grind against each other.

Dry eyes

More water means more tears. If you do not drink enough water, you will experience dry eyes since your tear ducts will be dry due to inadequate tear production.

TIPS:

Water is life. It is recommended to drink 6-8 glasses of water every day in order to prevent any health issues. If you detect any of these signs, try to respond instantly by increasing your water intake.

Drinking purified water will also increase hydration as it is absorbed quickly into the body and blood stream. To learn more about drinking more water please call Wise Water International at 1-866-427-7757.

5 Reasons to Drink Lemon Water

​

Providing more than just hydration, fresh lemon juice and water can deliver surprising benefits.Wise Water International suggests starting every morning with a glass of warm lemon water to stimulate digestion for the day and clear the body of any toxins that may have settled in the digestive tract overnight. We tend to reach for those warm beverages in the morning like coffee and tea, but try starting your day with some warm lemon water first to kick-start digestion. The water doesn’t always have to be warm, but it should be purified.
Here are 5 health benefits of drinking lemon water:

1. Support immune function:

Lemons are high in vitamin C which is known for its supportive role in healthy immune function which may reduce the risk of respiratory infection. Vitamin C found in lemons demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects, and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms^.

2. Alkalize the body:

Although a lemon may seem acidic, lemons are one of the most alkalizing foods for the body. Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid, weak acids easily metabolized from the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood.

3. Aid digestion:

Believed to stimulate and purify the liver, lemon juice is traditionally understood to support digestive hydrochloric acid in the stomach further aiding digestion. Vitamin C status has been associated with reduced risk of peptic ulcers caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori.

4. Clear skin:

Vitamin C and other antioxidants in lemons combat free radical damage. Free radical damage is responsible for many symptoms of aging. Antioxidant intake can help offset this damage, minimizing wrinkles. Lemon juice can also be applied to scars and age spots to help reduce their appearance. Lemon water is also believed to help purge toxins from the blood, helping to keep skin clear of blemishes.

5. Promote healing:

Vitamin C promotes wound healing and is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage. Vitamin C also displays anti-inflammatory properties making vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of good health and recovery from stress and injury.

Wise Water International (distributors of Eagle Water Treatment Systems) suggests sprucing up your everyday water with some lemon. Also be sure to use purified water with the lemon to maximize it's benefits. To learn more about purified water please call 1-866-427-7757.

When Should You Be Drinking Water?

Wise Water International agrees that pure, clean drinking water helps our bodies function properly and maintain good health.

​

Drinking water at the correct time of the day maximizes its effectiveness and health benefits on the human body.
First thing in the morning.
Drinking 2 glasses of purified water after waking up helps activate your internal organs and digestive system.
Before each meal.
1 glass of purified water 30 minutes before a meal helps the digestion process.
Before taking a bath.
1 glass of purified water before a warm bath helps kick-start the relaxation process and  lowers blood pressure.
Throughout the day.
Try to drink some purified water throughout other parts of the day. This helps keep your body better hydrated. Thirst is the first sign of your body already being dehydrated.
Before exercising.
When exercising, your body’s temperature rises, and you loose more fluid. So you need to replace this by drinking water.
With medication and when you are sick.
Water helps to dissolve medication and spread it throughout your digestive organs for rapid absorption. Water also prepares the tissues to receive the medication-substance and put it to work faster. When you are sick, drinking plenty of fluids is important for maintaining hydration and faster recovery.
With a cup of coffee or other diuretics .
Certain beverages, such as coffee, soft drinks and other sugary drinks tend to be diuretics which dehydrate your body. You need to replace this with a glass of purified water.
Before going to sleep.
1 glass of water before going to bed helps avoid stroke or heart attack in the more elderly.

Keep Your Children Hydrated This Summer

• 5 glasses (1 litre) for 5 to 8 year olds
• 7 glasses (1.5 litres) for 9 to12 year olds
• 8 to10 glasses (2 litres) for 13+ years 

You should drink more water when you’re exercising or on a hot day. 

Tips to help you drink more water

The Importance of Electrolytes & Drinking Water

Dehydration can occur quickly during exercise. Your body needs to replenish water during and after exercise to prevent dehydration. But over longer periods of physical activity the body also loses electrolytes. These need to be replaced as well, and water does not contain them.

Your body needs electrolytes at all times. They are molecules that contain free ions and help to regulate many processes in the body, including nerve and muscle function, hydration, blood pH, blood pressure and healing damaged tissue. Electrolytes are obtained naturally through many foods and are usually not a concern to individuals adhering to a casual exercise routine. In more extreme cases, though, your body's electrolytes need to be taken into consideration.

Doctors recommend drinking small amounts of water every 10 to 15 minutes during exercise. This helps to immediately replace the water lost through perspiration. For exercise lasting more than 60 minutes, other nutrients must be included. Drinking a beverage that features a carbohydrate content of 5 to 7 percent allows the body to absorb the carbohydrates at a quick rate, providing quick fuel and helping to replenish electrolytes to the body.

Many sports drinks, including Gatorade, Powerade and Vitamin Water all feature carbohydrates and electrolytes that are valuable for people exercising in excess of 60 minutes. You can also make your own sports drink featuring electrolytes by adding a small amount of orange or fruit juice to water, or mixing 5 tbsp. table sugar and 1/3 tsp. salt into a liter of water.

Not only is drinking was important but so is replacing lost electrolytes. For clean and healthy drinking tips please call Wise Water International (distributors of Eagle Water Treatment Systems) at 1-866-427-7757.

Trick yourself into drinking more water!

Water is the best thing you can put in your body, yet so many of us ignore it throughout the day. Here are some great ways to trick yourself into developing a healthy habit of drinking lots of water every day.

Hide It In Your Daily Routine
If you already have a good morning and bedtime routine, make drinking water a part of it. You can still have your morning coffee, but add a glass of water in beforehand.

Get a Reusable Water Bottle and Mark It with Time-Oriented Goals
Water bottles are an excellent way to increase your water intake. Get a high-quality one, even if it costs you a little more. A good stainless steel or heavy-duty plastic bottle should do the trick. Once you've found one you like, take it with you everywhere.

Make It a Game
Gaming is an effective way to get yourself to do a lot of things, and drinking water is no exception. Incentivize your new water habit by rewarding yourself when you reach milestones. Go a whole week drinking your goal every day? Treat yourself to something you don't normally get. It goes both ways too. Forget to drink enough water yesterday? No Netflix or video games until you've made up for it.


Set a Timer and Create Mental Triggers
If you're still having a hard time remembering to drink water, set a timer on your phone. Create a few alarms set to go off throughout the day and when one goes off chug a big glass of water.



Jazz Up Your Water Drinking Experience
You might be more inclined to drink water if it was a little more interesting. Try adding cucumber or fresh fruits. Using purified water will also enhance the flavors you put into the water.

Eat Your Water
Yes, food has water in it too. It may not have enough for you to only eat your daily intake of water, but there are some foods you can snack on that can help. Fruits and vegetables are a great source of water.

How Much Water Do You Really Need?

We hear it all the time: We should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. But is this fact or fiction?

Our bodies are 50% to 75% water and this water plays a vital role in our nutrition and well-being. It is essential to our survival. All tissues in the body need water to function properly – as water:

• Aids in satiety
• Averts water retention
• Helps with digestion
• Eliminates wastes and toxins from the body
• Provides the body with energy
• Wards off disease

To determine your normal hydration needs, calculate your body weight in pounds, divide it by 2 and drink that many ounces of water each day. For example, a 200 pound man should drink 100 ounces of quality water each day! If you are in a hot climate or exercising, you should increase this amount.

Athletes, military recruits, or anyone forced to work outside during the hottest part of a summer day may require more fluids than generally recommended. And if you’re already in the throes of heat illness or heat stroke, you may have an inadequate or malfunctioning thirst mechanism.

But for most of us, an easy way to gauge how well-hydrated we are is to simply look at our urine. It should be fairly clear, and if it is very dark yellow, that’s sign we may need to drink more water.
