Water – How Much is More Important Than When

A bald eagle soars over the beautiful, clean water in Lake Coeur d'Alene

 

I recently received an email from one of my favorite people on the planet, Deanna Waters.  Deanna and Dave (click here to link to their blog) received forwarded information from an unnamed ”cardiac specialist” which listed the ‘correct’ times to drink water.  So we put the question to Sue Ward, Certified Nutritionist, and here’s what she recommends:

  • 1 glass of water upon rising (we recommend room temperature water with the juice of 1/2 a fresh lemon with a few shakes of cayenne pepper)
  • Plenty of water throughout the day (especially in hot weather or when exercising)
  • Limit water with meals (too much water with a meal or too close to a meal may interfere with or dilute digestive enzymes)

The bottom line is, not enough water will always be a problem to all body systems.  Chronic dehydration is a big problem.  It is MUCH more important to be sure you take in enough water than it is to worry about scheduling drinks at a specific time.

We also recommend drinking pure water (filtered tap water is our first choice) and a Reverse Osmosis filter would be a good choice (be sure to add ¼ teaspoon of Unrefined Celtic Salt or Himalayan salt per gallon to put back some essential minerals).

Drinking bottled water?  Read our thoughts on bottled water here:  http://sanovivblog.com/2011/02/19/460/

 And for those of you who read your way to good health, we recommend Your Body’s Many Cries for Water by Dr.  Batmanghelidj.

Serve up pain relief with tennis balls

Tennis balls are for more than fetching!

Pain relief can be as simple and inexpensive as knowing how to use tennis balls to ease tension and trigger points.  Ballerinas have long been known to carry tennis balls with them for those occasions when they need help fast.  The balls can be used to effectively relieve muscle spasms before a rehearsal or a big event.  You, too, can make use of tennis balls with a few simple tips and techniques.

Sometimes referred to as Tennis Ball Therapy, tennis balls can be used to ease everything from relieving the pain of sciatica to breaking down scar tissue and adhesions.  The user controls the amount of pressure applied by slowly shifting weight onto the ball. Find trigger points in this way, using moderate force to compress each painful spot for 15 to 20 seconds before moving on to the next.  You can use the floor or the wall for support as you zero in on areas of tightness.  Remember to breathe deeply and shift your body slightly as you work on the targeted area.

Repetitive motions can cause tight muscles.  Sitting at a desk and driving can cause muscles to shorten and tension to form.  Taking a break with tennis ball therapy can help to loosen those areas, providing pain relief and increased blood flow. Whether it’s your neck, shoulder, back or glutes, just ten minutes to relieve some tension can greatly improve the rest of your day.

Many people who suffer from chronic pain have been helped at Sanoviv through our Medical Program.  Learn more here:  http://sanoviv.com/medical-services/programs/medical.html

Bend and Stretch, Reach for the Sky

Stretching at all ages is invigorating and healthful

“Stretching… You do it when you wake up in the morning. Baseball fans do it in the seventh inning. Animals do it after a nap. There’s nothing like a good stretch. It’s normal, it’s natural, and it feels great. And more and more people are discovering that stretching is also great for them.” ~ The Stretch Deck

Why stretch? The first thought that usually comes to mind is improving flexibility. Whether due to tension, habitual postures, or aging, tight muscles can decrease your range of motion and lead to imbalance. Stretching can improve these conditions and lead to better coordination and relaxation.

Stretching is easy and can be done by anyone. It requires no special equipment and can be done virtually anywhere. We all know that athletes stretch, but anyone can suffer from tight muscles. Whether you sit at a desk, or stand on your feet all day, stretching can ease your stiff muscles and prevent or relieve repetitive injuries.

Always begin your stretching  by warming up for several minutes. There are many wonderful books and DVDs that can outline stretching routines for everyone from the novice to the advanced practitioner. Stretch until you feel a gentle pull. If you feel pain, you are doing too much! Overdoing it will actually cause your muscles to tighten and can lead to muscle tearing. The opposite of what you are working toward.

Breathing is also important when stretching. Inhaling into the stretch helps to oxygenate the muscles as they are elongated. Always check with your physician before beginning any exercise program. If at any point you feel pain or discomfort STOP! Stretching can bring you increased mobility, better sleep and overall better range of motion. Make an effort to fit it into your daily routine and you will be pleased with the benefits.

Every guest stretches daily at Sanoviv Medical Institute.  Join us for your heart and your health.  Learn more here:  http://sanoviv.com/become-guest.html

Here is Dr. Lanzagorta’s invitation to you and anyone you know to join him for an hour of learning:
It has been mentioned that “truth is very simple” and that “complexity is an indication of confusing ideas”. We are bombarded with incredible amounts of information, targeted to give us “THE KEY” to health, happiness and wellbeing… leaving us scattered and wondering about which way to follow. Sometimes, with an attitude of relaxed observation of what is in nature, we get a reflection, a glimpse of that simple truth… and when such understanding “clicks-in” inside us… the path to action is clear, straight forward and easy to implement. On Wednesday, we’ll explore some of those small, but powerful glimpses of truth about health… small, yes… simple, yes… but with enough power to transform our lives.
