WATER

Now that your home is free of toxic food and restocked with health food you begin your journey to a new you. One important word of advice is to drink plenty of good clean water. Not tap water or bottled water (chlorinated) but filtered if not reverse osmosis water. You don't want to put any new toxins in your body when trying to rid it of the years worth that are already in there, would you? Probably not. You are supposed to drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day or half your body weight in ounces minimum. I highly recommend giving up coffee, soda and high sugar fruit juices all together and just drink water and decaf tea. You can add slices of lemon, lime, oranges, strawberries or even cucumber to the water if that helps get it down. Also try not to drink anything while eating, it dilutes your stomach acid, which could lead to digestive problems. Drink at least 20-30 minutes before meals. I try to get a third of my fluids first thing in the morning. Which also helps move things along, if you know what I mean. I also want to mention that we do not store our water in plastic which is full of harmful chemicals. They sell tons of great bottles these days in steel (like the one in the photo) or even glass. If you have to use plastic try to find one that is BPA free.

So go grab some fluids and get hydrated today!
