Ronit Mor, NDWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. Do not wait until you feel thirsty!
Increasing your water intake is arguably the simplest and most inexpensive way to improve your overall health and slow down the aging process. Here are a few guidelines to help you stay hydrated:
Ronit Mor, ND High quality drinking water is increasingly difficult to come by in this day and age. The health conscious amongst us know that drinking unfiltered tap water is generally not a great idea.
The EPA and Congress regulate about 100 pollutants and 91 chemicals through the Safe Drinking Water Act. Yet there are more than 60,000 chemicals used within the U.S., many of which have been identified as probable carcinogens. According to some estimates, there are now more than 2,100 known chemical toxins present in U.S. tap water.

In my practice, the vast majority of my clients had been clearly chronically dehydrated when I first met them. No one, I mean absolutely no one, had bothered to inquire as to the nature of their daily water intake. None of the physicians and other health practitioners they visited over the years had bothered to ask them the most simple and basic question. Namely, how much water they drink on a daily basis. It never ceases to perplex me how the vast majority of the world population has never learned the critical role water holds in their health and the basics of hydrating properly and consistently.
