Woman Drinks 3 Litres Of Water Every Day And The Results Are Shocking!


42 year old, Sarah Smith is a British mother of two who was suffering from migraines. The suggested cure by her doctor, turned out to be the secret to her youth fountain. The doctor suggested she stops taking caffeine and increase her water intake. The picture on the left shows Sarah as an average 42 year old. During this time she was always sluggish and suffered from constant migraines. The picture on the right shows her as a woman in her low to mid thirties. The fountain of our youth is clearly right within our reach.

After four weeks: Sarah looks like a different woman


The amount of water she drank drastically made a change to her appearance. Her daily routine was normal during the photo on the left. “Usually I start my day with a cup of tea, then I might have a glass of water with my lunch and one with dinner - that's about a litre of liquid in 24 hours. It feels like plenty, but apparently it's not nearly enough.” She said in an article on Daily Mail.

What’s the Difference Between Tisane and Tea?

A tisane (or ptisan) is any herbal infusion other than from the leaves of the tea bush (Camellia sinensis). The English word “tisane” originated from the Greek word πτισάνη (ptisanē), a drink made from pearl barley.

 

Tisanes are made with fresh or dried flowers, leaves, stems, seeds or roots, generally by pouring hot (not boiling water) over the plant parts and letting them steep for about 10 minutes. Tough stems, seeds and roots must be boiled on a stove after being mashed. The tisane is then strained, sweetened if so desired, and served.
Some products labeled as “herbal teas” are true tisanes and some are not. Some “herbal teas” do not contain leaves from the tea bush and are therefore true tisanes. Why they are called “herbal teas” when they contain no tea I couldn’t say and is misleading. The only commonality tisanes and teas share is their preparation for drinking and this could be where the cross-over occurred. Other mixtures labeled as “herbal teas” do contain leaves from the tea bush and have been combined with herbal plant materials, hence the addition of “herbal” before the word “tea,” so be sure to check the ingredients. Real tea contains caffeine and if you are limiting your caffeine intake, knowing whether you are consuming a tisane or tea is important.
Many blends of real tea are prepared by adding other plants to an actual tea (black, oolong, green, or white tea); for example, the popular Earl Grey tea is black tea with bergamot added, Jasmine tea is Chinese tea with Jasmine included, and Genmaicha is green tea combined with roasted rice. Such preparations are varieties of tea, not tisanes.

Things Every Woman Needs to Do for Her Skin:

Double Up on Fruits and Vegetables
Eating the right amount of fruits and vegetables can give you a healthy, vital glow. 
Either you eat them or make a Fruity Water with them. 






Do This Only Twice a Day
Most women wash their face three to four times a day, says Emmy Graber, MD
a dermatologist and assistant professor of dermatology at the Boston University School of Medicine, 
but studies show that twice a day is optimal. The more you wash, the more likely you are to 
strip your skin of natural oils. 




Totally Worry About Sunscreen...
...even when you think you're protected by clothing.





Choose the Least-Popular Sleep Position
Only 14 percent of Americans sleep on their back—even though it's the best way 
to prevent sleep wrinkles.
Sleeping on the side or on the stomach (done by 63 percent and 16 percent of us, respectively) 
has been shown to cause wrinkles on the parts of the face pressed into the pillow





Stay Hydrated ! 
When the temperatures rise, getting enough to drink is important 
whether you’re playing sports, traveling or just sitting in the sun.

Ways To Stop Overeating



1
Steer clear of fad diets that promise rapid weight loss in a short period of time. In general, losing weight too quickly is not safe. Although it is possible to lose up to 10 pounds per week for the first two weeks of dieting, this is usually a result of water loss and not a true indication of weight loss. The recommended amount of weight to safely lose is 1 to 2 pounds per week.


2
Refrain from participating in diets that require you to banish foods completely from your diet (such as Atkins or the Cookie Diet), or severely restrict the amount of calories that you can consume in a day.


Refrain from emotional eating. If you find that you are eating food when you are depressed, lonely, angry or after a hard day at work, you are eating for the wrong reasons.



Eat only when you are hungry. If you are eating out of habit and not because of hunger, you are feeding your habits rather than feeding your body what it needs.












































Stop eating when you feel full. Most people just instinctively eat what is in front of them, regardless of whether or not they are still hungry.

11 Reasons Why Dehydration Is Making You Fat ...


Fatigue
 
Water is the most vital sources of energy in the body. dehydration causes the enzymatic activity in the body to slow down, resulting in tiredness and fatigue.

Asthma and Allergies


When dehydrated, your body will restrict airways as a means to conserve water. In fact, the rate of histamine produced by the body increases exponentially as the body loses more water.

High Blood Pressure

The blood is normally about 92% water when the body is fully hydrated. When dehydrated, the blood becomes thicker causing resistance to blood flow, which results in elevated blood pressure.

High Cholesterol

When the body is dehydrated, it will produce more cholesterol to prevent water loss from the cells.

Skin disorders

Dehydration impairs the elimination of toxins through the skin and makes it more vulnerable to all types of skin disorders, including dermatitis and psoriasis, as well as premature wrinkling and discoloration.

Digestive Disorders

A shortage of water and alkaline minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, can lead to a number of digestive disorders, including ulcers, gastritis and acid reflux

Bladder or Kidney Problems

With a dehydrated body, the accumulation of toxins and acid waste creates an environment where bacteria thrive, resulting in the bladder and kidney to be more prone to infection, inflammation and pain.

Constipation


When short of water, the colon is one of the primary regions the body draws water from in order to provide fluids for other critical body functions. Without adequate water, wastes move through the large intestines much more slowly or sometimes not at all, resulting in constipation.

Joint Pain or Stiffness

All joints have cartilage padding which is composed mainly of water. When the body is dehydrated, cartilage is weakened and joint repair is slow resulting in pain and discomfort.

Weight Gain

When dehydrated, cells are depleted of energy. As a result people tend to eat more when, in reality, the body is thirsty.

Premature Aging

When chronically dehydrated, the body's organs, including its largest organ, the skin, begins to wrinkle and wither prematurely.
