Finding the True Fountain of Youth...

We all know that water is important, but did you know it’s THIS important?

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. This likely applies to half of the world
   population.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for
   hunger. (Uh oh…)
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters
   studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease
   back pain and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short term memory, trouble with basic
   math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%.
9. It can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%.
10. Staying hydrated, one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Last fall I attended David Wolfe’s annual Longevity Now conference in Southern California. The very first thing David taught us about how to build super immunity was to collect and drink water from naturally occurring springs. Not filtered water, not bottled water, not reverse osmosis water, not ionized water... But free, natural, aurous, spring water. Why? As David says "it's called the fountain of youth, not the faucet of youth."

There are plenty of videos and blog posts about why natural spring water is the best water on this earth for us to drink. What I'd like to pass along is Daniel Vitalis' website FindASpring.com, where you can literally find a spring near you anywhere in the world! If there is ONE thing you do for yourself to build immunity, do this. Buy some brown glass bottles from a local brewing supply store or antique shop, fill them with water from the nearest natural spring, and cork them. No need to purchase fancy machinery. No need to hook up fancy equipment. Go straight to the source provided to all of us for free from this great earth. There is no better gift.

No natural spring nearby? Dr. Ron Cusson’s Volixer water is engineered to mimic the 4 most important properties of natural, aurous spring water:

1. Small water clusters for deep irrigation of the cells.
2. High concentration of over 72 ocean trace minerals.
3. Generous additional potency of magnesium bicarbonate, a rare component of mountain spring water.
4. A bicarbonate alkaline pH between 9 and 9.2.

Should we still "drink 8 glasses of water a day?” According to Dr. Mercola, you should let the color of your urine be the guide… Bright yellow, and you should increase the amount of water you’re drinking. Light yellow, and you’re doing just fine.

Mercola also agrees with David Wolfe that the quality of the water you’re drinking is just as important as the amount of water you’re drinking. Drink clean, spring water and filtered water--not tap water or distilled water. Contrary to the traditional belief, it’s also important to avoid fluoridated water.

We can exist without food for months, but without water we can only survive for a few days.
Your body is made up mostly of water, which:

• Is essential for digestion, nutrient absorption and elimination
• Aids circulation
• Helps control the body's temperature
• Lubricates and cushions joints
• Keeps the skin healthy
• Helps remove toxins from your body

Working at Each Peach Café every day, we realized we were NOT drinking enough water and were both really dehydrated. So we created a method to make sure we both get enough of the stuff each day. Let us ask: have YOU gotten enough water today?
