– Hydration:  Studies show that most people are dehydrated.  Most elders end up in the emergency room suffering from dehydration.  Our bodies are a system of rivers.  Our hearts dwell in cavernous lakes.  The heart beating at its best performance must be free of obstruction.  A sludge-filled river is harder to pump.  Be wary of plastic water bottles as they leech BPA (a harmful chemical) which has been indicated to alter hormone levels, trigger cancer, create heart problems, and cause brain and behavioral problems (amongst other diseases).  Let’s also not forget about the environmental impact.  Our use of plastic is the death of the earth and all of its inhabitants.  The amount of plastic generated is astronomical and accumulating without end.  Recycling plastic is highly toxic to the air and water.  Most of it is either just burnt or dumped into the ocean.  Get a nice glass bottle and keep refilling it!  Drink between meals often.  Drinking with your meals will dilute your digestive juices.
