Sufficient daily water intake is vital for virtually every
function within our bodies yet fewer than one in five of us drinks
enough. Read on to see the results of this experiment.
Sarah
Smith is a 42 year old mother of two young kids in the UK. She, like
many others, openly admitted to not drinking the recommended 2 to 3
liters of water daily. She suffered from poor and sluggish indigestion
and regular headaches. Following consultations with medical
professionals for both issues she decided to take heed of the advice
given – in both cases she had been told that she needed to up her intake
of water.
She decided to document and photograph what happened in
a self imposed experiment whereby she would drink 3 liters, just over 5
pints, of water per day, every day for an entire month and see if she
could feel any benefits.
At the outset Sarah took a long hard look
at her face noting that “I am 42, but have to admit I look more like 52
in this picture, which is shocking. There are dark shadows under and
around my eyes, which make me look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles
and strange reddish blotches, and my skin lacks any lustre. It looks
dead….even my lips look shrivelled.”
She spread the water out
during the day aiming to drink a big jug of water in the morning,
another in the afternoon with a third in the evening.
At the end
of the first week she had already noticed that her bowel function was
improved and her urine was virtually clear as the water was flushing out
her previously dehydrated poorly functioning kidneys. She noticed
sudden skin breakouts, which were a result of the toxins being
eliminated from throughout her body. However her headaches were already
gone and her previous joint stiffness first thing in the morning was
vastly improved. Water is vital for lubricating the joints.
Week
two saw an improvement in her skin tone and general complexion although
she noted that her eyes were still wrinkled but said “they look less
crepey and shadowy than before”. She also had a visibly flatter stomach
and her smart husband paid her the ultimate compliment by noting that
her cellulite had vanished! Significantly she had another week headache
free.
On to week three when Sarah was happy to find that her eye
wrinkles and dark circles had all but disappeared and her skin was
plumper and healthier looking. She noted that she was actually eating
less by this stage as she had fallen into the common trap of reading
signals from her stomach as being hunger pangs whereas they were
actually thirst pangs. Research has shown that 37 per cent of people
actually mistake thirst signals for hunger signals. The plentiful water
had now stopped her from continually falling into that unhealthy trap.
So
what about the end of week four? Sarah said “I genuinely can’t believe
the difference in my face. I look like a different woman. The dark
shadows around my eyes have all but disappeared and the blotches have
gone. My skin is almost as dewy as it was when I was a child. The
transformation is nothing short of remarkable.” She was leaner, fitter
and nobody can deny the astonishing change to her appearance. She
changed nothing else in her daily routine apart from the water intake.
Here are the before and after photographs:
To
those already of you already converted to drinking enough water these
results will merely confirm what you already know, but to anyone who is
guilty of not doing so, will this persuade you to try this for yourself ?
