Proper hydration is vital

When it's hot outside or you exercise a lot,it is not enough just to drink water in order to be hydration.
It is required that you consume salt to the water, so that the water can be absorbed by the body. When you sweat a lot or when it is very hot, the balance in your body is disturbed  and you lose a lot of salts.
This also applies in cases of fever, stomach flu, diarrhea or excessive consumption of alcohol.

Therefore I give you a recipe of how to make your own rehydration solution:
1 L of boiled cooled water
6 teaspoons of granulated sugar
0.5 teaspoons of salt
If you want you can even have a few drops of lemon. Keep cold or at room temperature up to one day.

Why is it so important with water then?
Well, its task is to transport nutrients into cells and waste products out of cells. It also helps when the cells build proteins.
Other benefits of drinking water is that your joints are lubricated, the food need to be digested and it regulates your body temperature.
What happens if you do not drink enough water?
The body takes the fluid it needs from the blood that the blood volume decreases and the heart rate rises.
It's best for your body is that you drink 2-3 liters per day

Have a great water day!!!

Drink warm water, Ayurveda

Within the Ayurveda teachings encourage you to cleanse your body with water.
When you drink water you clear your body of toxins.
The important thing is that you drink boiled water that is cooled to room temperature.
How is this to be done?
You start the morning with clearing the mouth by gargling around water and spit it out. Then drink 2.5 cups of boiled lukewarm water and wait to eat in 45 minutes. When you do this you remove old debris away from the depots in the body.
It's been proven that it takes about 21 days to get used to a new habit so keep going and don´t give up.
If you drink warm water with meals, you also help the digestion. Particularly suited to oily food.

When you decided to take care of your body through the water therapy you prevent:
• Fatigue
• Muscle aches
• High blood pressure
• Constipation
• Cystitis

Since the body is composed of about 60% water, you give your skin proper moisture when you drink water and dryness wrinkles on your face disappears. The skin is the organ which is last provided with water and if you don´t drink enough, it reacts by becoming dry and sensitive.
You know you drink just enough water if your urine is pale yellow.
Do like me and make a toast with a glass of hot water!

A miracle manicure

Indulge yourself today and give your hands an amazing miracle manicure.
If you do this every week, you will have beautiful hands to feel proud of. Self, I must admit that I don´t do this frequently, but once a month I usually get to it.
You don´t need to go to expensive salons if you follow my advice below.

Wash your hands and gently rub cuticle clean with a nail brush.
Now take your homemade hand scrub that I wrote about before
Home made hand scrub, look here.
Rinse off with lukewarm water and go to your nourishing and healing water.
Pour warm water into a bowl that you can fit both hands in.
Add a little green soap (this heals wounds and dry bulk).
Sit with your hands in the water for 15 minutes.
Wipe them off.
Now is the time to take care of your cuticles. Pull it down gently with an emery board and cut them out with scissors you see in my picture.
File your nails with a glass file (it is the most gentle on the nail), preferably in one direction only.
Paint your nails.
Finish it all to lubricate your hands with a lovely hand cream and massaging them lightly.
Feel fine and do not forget the gloves when you wash and clean to preserve your hands.

Take this opportunity to throw away kisses today :)
