  • Water carries nutrients to our cells.
  • Water aids digestion by forming stomach secretions.

  • Water keeps our moisture-rich organs (our skin, eyes, mouth, and nose) functioning well.
  • Water serves as a lubricant and is the basis of saliva and the fluids surrounding the joints.
  • Water helps prevent and alleviate constipation by moving food through the intestinal tract.
  • Water plays a crucial role in disease prevention, as the deprivation of water colors lead to failure of cell or organ functions which could lead to diseases.
  • Flushes our bodies of wastes, and keeps our kidneys healthy. Our kidneys are fantastic waste removers; they get rid of the waste products from protein metabolism --uric acid, urea, and lactic acid -- but they need lots of water to accomplish this. The kidneys also balance the fluids and electrolytes in our bodies so that our systems run smoothly. If the kidneys don't get the water they need to perform these filtering functions, our health deteriorates rapidly.

  • Drink one to two glasses of water as soon as you get up in the morning.
  • Keep a pitcher of water near your work space so that you are constantly reminded to drink during the day.
  • Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol, which have a dehydrating effect.
  • Drink at least one glass of room-temperature water with every meal.

The root of suffering is attachment

“The root of suffering is attachment”  - Buddha An important teaching that we all need to work on. Non-attachment doesn’t mean to disconnect from your loved ones and lead a life of a hermit, but to be able to live amidst all this and accept the impermanence of all things. It means to go with the natural flow of life and not be attached to any of these things that the thought of losing it makes you angry or annoyed. Its only when you become attached, that all the problems and negative emotions arise. But when you don’t cling to things, it becomes easier to simply let go of the excess or things that don’t serve you any more.
