I have already drunk thirty-two ounces of water this morning.
To help with digestion, first thing I do in the morning before I even get out
of bed is drink a glass of water. To help even more, I put one or all of
orange, peppermint and rosemary essential oils on my abdomen. Next, starting
with the ascending side of my stomach, I do circular motions clockwise, all the
way around to the descending side. (I know the picture below is kind of gross,
but it gives you a good idea of what to do.)
My
second glass of water has lemon oil and/or citrus fresh oil in it. If you don't
have the oils for this second glass, you can also use juice from a lemon. It is
a good idea to brush your teeth after, because the lemon can mess with the
enamel on your teeth.
When people ask me what the number one thing is that they
should do for their health, I will always say drink water! Not only does it
hydrate you but it also lubricates your intestines and gets you off to a
great start of the day. A good rule of thumb on how much water to drink is to
take your weight, divide it in half, and then drink that in ounces. If you are
one who works out or does a lot of physical activity, you will need to drink
more than that. Because I have an intense workout lifestyle, I drink up to a
gallon of water a day.
Drinking water is a great way to fight sickness and disease.
To your health!
