Water, Water Everywhere and Not a Drop to Drink

A month ago I got a UTI. Getting sick and being 100% raw is like a slap in the face! But I had to admit there were several things I could improve in my diet. The number one thing is WATER.

Water consumption should be THE most important thing you think about consuming in your day. Ignoring this will not only make you susceptible to illness, but will also result in you weighing more.

Other things I needed to improve on is eating sprouts and seeds everyday, eating less nuts and dried fruit, getting more organic foods. One example is that I'd eat a lot of non-organic raisins. I'm not going to get everything organic (I've tried that expensive route before) but that is one highly treated food item!

After having the UTI, I got a virus. This is the one that gives you a fever for a week! I've had it before and always had the wost headache as well. This time I learned that the headache was from dehydration. I was in the hospital almost all night getting 4 bags of IV fluids. The headache immediately went away.

That's how important water is! Drink it everyday. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere. It's the most important Superfood!
