YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK

About 9 months ago, I managed to reduce my weight by about 9kg's within 3 months unintentionally. I did this without any tablets or supplements. I felt better with myself but my pants kept falling off, it had to be kept on with a belt. I didn't like that so I decided to go on a rapid weight gain, I was back to my normal self within 2 months. It felt good tucking in.

I normally drink about 5 cups of coffee/tea a day. It must be noted that at most times, my drinks are with sugar or condensed milk. During my accidental weight loss programme this intake of sweet beverages was limited to one normally at most two. There was hardly any lunch during these days and plenty of walking. I used to drink water whenever I felt hungry.

ANYONE CAN REDUCE WEIGHT AND FEEL HEALTHY, YOU WILL PROLONG LIFE BUT THERE IS A LOT MORE TO LIFE AND LONGEVITY .

Lately my attention was drawn to an article in the January edition of Readers Digest. It was about Ray Kurzweil an American scientist and inventor. He thinks that within two decades, nanotechnology will allow the repair of ageing human cells by microscopic machines. The 61 year old futorologist is doing all he can to survive until the point when he belives humans can be rendered virtually immortal through the use of nanotechnology to restore the ailing parts of the body. He consumes 150 dietary supplements a day, drinks several cups of green tea, eats plenty of vegetables and tofu, and STAYS AWAY FROM SUGAR. Doctors tell him he has a body of a man ten years younger.

Today GOD gave me the time and freedom to explore for more information on Kurzweil. Of all the Google hits on him, I found his opinions on drinking water to be most interesting and worthy of mention now.

The human body comprises various fluids, ranging in pH from very acidic (stomach acid) to rather alkaline (pancreatic fluid) and many bodily fluids have very narrow parameters, the fluid within our cells ranges in pH from 6.8 to 7.1, while blood pH is in a slightly alkaline band of between 7.35 and 7.45.

According to Kurzweil, good health depends on maintaining a slightly alkaline pH level, so he says avoid soft drinks and drink purified water that has been treated to adjust the pH level as this promotes powerful detoxification and health promoting effects.
