With A Pinch of Salt

The book 'Water and Salt - The Healers From Within', suggests that a high intake of water with a little bit of salt is the answer to many, many ailments. I won't go into the details of how this works physiologically, you can get the book and find out for yourself, but I can telly you that after a while of drinking like this, the body will start to feel more supple and aches and pains seem to subside, making you feel more free and alive.

The body is made of 85% water, so it makes sense that it needs to be hydrated constantly.

I use filtered water and the Himalayan pure, pink salt (no additives) which has at least 80 trace minerals.

A little bit of salt in a big glass of water (500ml) four times a day. If you don't have a filter, use mineral water,  tap water is OK too (but do get a filter, it is really worth the money).  The water should not taste salty, if it does just add more water until it tastes fine.

Start your routine of drinking water and salt in the morning, to replenish the body from the loss of moisture occurring during the night. As soon as you get up drink a big glass on an empty stomach, then just remember to drink it all day long; you can take a bottle with you with already made water and salt, or you can carry some Himalayan salt and add it to a bottle of water on the go. When I travel by plane, and I can't take my own water, I carry a bit of salt with me, and add it to the water I buy at the airport.

Remember that this mixture is heaven sent gift if you are struck with a headache, stomach ache, irritability, aches and pains, cramps of any kind; so get into the habit of having a water-salt bottle with you and if in need, just sip some until the pain is gone.

I was standing in the queue at the Post Office once, (I had my water bottle with me) when I suddenly got stomach cramps.I got the bottle out and took a few sips, a few times. Not even a minute later the pain was totally gone.

I gave this tip to one of my sisters who often suffers from stomach cramps. She was skeptical. Then when the next attack of stomach cramps came, she remembered the advice and gave it a try instead of recurring to medication as she always does. She was well impressed. In no time the cramps disappeared.

When I don't remember to drink water and salt regularly, which happens, because I am human, the odd headache or stomach ache come up. These are the body's natural signals to warn you that you are running low on water. Son not only don't dismiss the signs by taking medications because you think there is something wrong with you, but remember to drink regularly so that you won't have those signals any more.

A bit like keeping an eye on the level of petrol in your tank. If you were to run out, the car would spit splutter, stall and then stop. But if you refuel regularly before the tank is empty... no worries and plain sailing!
