• 2:35
  Speaker 1: pH d. Forward slash. All right, today, I want to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: talk with you about health and healthy living. Specifically, we're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: going to focus on one of the most important habits
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you can cultivate to keep yourself healthy, and that habit
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is all about keeping yourself hydrated. Now, I remember when
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: my daughter was much much younger, she loved water. Now,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: for her, that meant that she loved being in the water.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: She loved to swim, but she wasn't all that keen
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on drinking water. In fact, I remember she really enjoyed
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: visiting one of her aunts, and this particular Auntie enjoyed
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: taking my daughter to the water park. Now, one summer
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it was very very very hot, much hotter than usual,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and my daughter was with her Auntie in her favorite
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: water park. She splashed and played and splashed and played
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in the water. But when it was time to drink
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: water to keep herself hydrated, my daughter just flatly refused
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to drink her water. She refused to eat. I mean,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know how kids are. They love to play more
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: than anything, and my daughter was no different. Thankfully, my
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: sister knew the dangers of not getting enough water, so
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: she told my daughter she was going to take her
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: home if she didn't drink her water, and that's exactly
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: what she had to do. So how much water should
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you drink each day? Well, that's a great question, right.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It's also a very simple, straightforward question, but it's a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: question with no easy answer. Now, different research studies have
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: produced varying recommendations over the years, but your individual water
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: needs depend on many many factors, including your health, how
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: active you are, where you live. So unfortunately, no single
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: formula fits everybody. But knowing more about your body's actual
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: needs for fluid will help you estimate how much water
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to drink each day, because when you drink enough water
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: each day, you can enjoy all the benefits of living
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a healthy life. Now, how many of you can relate
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to that. We all want to live a healthy life,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: right Why so we can make a difference in our
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: own life and enjoy the best quality of life for
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: ourselves spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, and intellectually, and we can
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: help others do the same. So once again, today's focus
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: is about healthy living and today's healthy habit is all
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: about keeping yourself hydrate it. Now it is time for
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you to grab your earbuds, your ear pods, whatever they're
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: called these days. Put on your walking shoes, or maybe
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it's time to reach for a night this tall cool
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: glass of water, or make yourself a cup of coffee
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: or tea. Put your feet up, relax in your favorite chair.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: We're going to have a great time today, no matter
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: where you happen to be on the planet. Now, before
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I jump into today's episode, I want to take just
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a moment to welcome you. If you're just joining us
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: for the very first time. I'm your host, doctor Gloria,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and this is legacy living, Make your life count. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: want to extend a special welcome to those of you
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: who are joining us for the first time today, for
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the very first time ever. Right, let me tell you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: something you are in for a real treat. I'm excited
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to have you listening today, and I'm deeply honored that
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you've allowed me to be part of your day so
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you can be inspired by ideas and resources to make
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: your life count. Now again, today's program is all about
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: healthy living, and our special focus today is developing the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: habit for staying hydrated or drinking water, a very important
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: topic so you can enjoy a happy, healthy life. Now,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: did you know that when you develop new habits, you're
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: actually supporting your brain. That's right, Your brain depends on
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: fluids to function properly. How about that. Now, we have
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: billions and billions of neurons in our brains, and we
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: have trillions I'm talking about trillions and trillions of synapses.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: All those neurons and synapses depend on liquid in order
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to fire properly. Now, water is essential for brain health.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Did you know that it's also essential for all of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: your other organs as well? In fact, keeping your body
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: well hydrated, well watered helps to ensure the integrity of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: your organs, and it also helps keep your immune system
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in tip top shape, which helps to prevent infections. Now, earlier,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we had a question about what's the right amount of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: water to drink. The truth is there is no set
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: amount of water that is uniformly recommended by any medical society. Now,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in some cultures we say eight glasses of water a day.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: But let me tell you that amount might be right
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: for some people but not nearly enough for others. So
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the benefits of drinking water.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Here are some of the many ways that water can
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: be beneficial to your health. Did you know that when
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you exercise, water is just what you need to keep
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: your muscles doing exactly what they are designed to do.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: That's right. Water helps keep the right balance of electrolytes. Now,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: what are electrolytes. I know you've heard that word, but
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: what are they really? Right? Electrolytes are things like sodium
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and potassium and magnesium, okay, And all of those electrolytes
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and more are necessary so that your muscles can function properly. Now,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: if you've ever been surprised, like me, by one of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: those painful cramps in your leg, muscles or another muscle group,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: think about that. Right, Without an adequate supply of water,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: muscles are actually more susceptible to cramping. Now, if the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: idea of simply hydrating yourself to health seems like magical thinking.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I want you to consider the research that backs up
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Study after study after study shows
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that drinking enough water fends off problems from your head
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to your toes. Right now, doctor Ronald Navarro reminds us
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that water is a basic need for cellular health. How
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: much water you need depends on a whole lot of factors,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier, right, how much you weigh, what
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: climate you live in, how often you exercise or work out, Okay,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and so much more so. Again, the rule of thumb
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: is eight eight ounce glasses of water a day. Right now,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that's a great place to start. But now I want
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you to listen very closely. The Institute of Medicine actually
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: recommends more than eight eight ounce glasses of water per day,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: especially for folks who live in temperate or mild climates. Now,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: here's one way, one sure way to tell if you're
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: well hydrated. You know, not counting glasses, okay, or the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: eight ounces. But here's the best way, okay, and that's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to look at the color of your urine. Now, if
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you're well hydrated, your urine should be pale yellow. If
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: yours is dark yellow, you need more water. It's that simple, right,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Another wonderful benefit of drinking water is that water can
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: actually boost your energy. That's right now, how does that happen?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Great question? Right. Water helps keep a steady flow of
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: nutrients going into your cells, and that's what helps to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: boost your energy. When you don't drink enough water. In
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: other words, when you get hydrated, your cell membranes become
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: less permeable, which slows down and hampers the flow of
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: nutrients to your cells. Right, big words permeable. That means
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I won't let the water in right now. You can tell,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: because the impact on you is that you can feel
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a little foggy, or you feel more sluggish. You know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you just don't feel like your normal self. So overall,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the net net, the overall impact is that not drinking
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: enough water impairs both your physical and your mental performance.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And nobody wants that. Another benefit of water. Now, when
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I exert myself, okay, when I really you know, work hard,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I actually work up a sweat, and I'm sure the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: same thing happens to you when you exert yourself. You
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: should be working up a sweat as well, I mean,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you know the signs. Your forehead gets a little moist,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you feel the trickles of sweat running down your face
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and then down your neck and down your back, and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: sometimes you even sweat under your arms. Right now, any
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: kind of sweat when you're exerting yourself physically is a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: sign that your body is operating as it should be operating.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: When you sweat, that means your internal core is heating up,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and your body responds by doing its job to cool
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you down right so that you can maintain a normal
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: body temperature. And guess what, Water is absolutely essential to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: making that happen. Now, another benefit, well, let's see, another
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: benefit of hydrating yourself is that you just might lose weight.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Now that sounds like a pretty good deal from me
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: most of us, right, I mean losing weight just by
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: drinking water. Why is that? Well, drinking water, especially if
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you drink a glass or two of water before a meal,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Drinking water can make your stomach feel more full, so
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you actually eat less food. So if you eat less,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you consume fewer calories. It's that simple. Now, over a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: period of several weeks or several months, you can see
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the result because you're dropping a few pounds. Here's another benefit. Now,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: remember earlier I talked about water and how it helps
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the brain to function properly. Another organ that benefits from
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: being well hydrated is our skin. Now, most of us
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: don't even realize that our skin is an organ. Right,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Just like your brain or your heart or your liver,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: our skin is actually posed of thirty percent water. Okay,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: at least thirty percent. Now, if all of those skin
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: cells don't get sufficient amounts of water, guess what they'll
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: start to wither and shrink. If you drink enough water
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and other fluids your skin, your skin cells will respond accordingly.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And what happens is that those cells will actually plump
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: up and your skin will say, oh, thank you, thank you.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Right now, here's another great benefit. When I feel like
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I'm coming down with a cold or something similar, you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: know what I do right away, I begin drinking more water. Now,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I want you to listen to your mom or your dad,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: or your nurse or your doctor when they tell you
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to drink more water and juice and tea soup or
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: broth right, and guess what. Your body will be so
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: grateful it will say thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Now when you're coming down with a cold or the flu,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: your body immediately goes into gear, right, It begins to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: do battle on your behalf. Your immune system gears up
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and goes into attack mode, gearing up against all those
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: yucky germs that have invaded your body. Now, when you
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: catch a cold, I know, when I catch a cold,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: my head gets stuffy, my nose gets stuffy, and I
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: have to have some help to flush all that stuffiness
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: out of my system. So having a running nose is
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: really good for you. Right, it's a nuisance, but it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: really good for you. That's your body saying, here we go,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: let's get rid of all those yucky germs. And you
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: know what else, Your nose is running. That means your
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: cells need more fluid to replace the fluids you're expelling
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the fluids that you're getting rid of right now. Staying
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: well hydrated also helps keep your nose and your throat
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: moist right, and it helps to loosen up the mucus
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: in your body, your entire body. You want to keep
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: your nose and throat moist because it helps to keep
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the germs at bay. Right. Okay, your doctor or nurse
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: may have told you, you know, if you have a dry nose.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Guess what you want? You want to change that because
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that's the that's the entry point for germs all right. Now,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: another great benefit of water is that it helps keep
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: your digestive track in good shape. By staying well hydrated,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: you actually reduce the risk of constipation. Okay, that means
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: getting too much of stuff in your colon, right, and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: it also helps reduce the risk of some types of
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: colon cancer. Now, how do you stay well hydrated? Especially
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: if you're a busy person, right, Your busy mom, your
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: busy dad, you're busy teenager. You're always on the move
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: with your career or school or schedules or what have you. Right,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you a few tips to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: help you be sure to stay well watered, well hydrated. Okay,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Now you might want to write some of these down
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: because these are really good. Get out your notepad or
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: your tablet, whatever you have handy. Okay, here we go. Now,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: before you have breakfast, be sure to drink an eight
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: ounce glass of water. You can drink it all before
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you make breakfast, and then while you're making breakfast, sip
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: on another eight ounce glass of water. Yum, yum. Right,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: pretty easy, right. Now. I have one friend who says
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: three classes of water even before you start your breakfast. Okay,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: So you can mix it up depending on those factors
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that we talked about earlier. Write your climate, how active
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: you are all of those things. Now. Here's another tip.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I often work for my home office, okay, with coaching
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: clients or my consulting clients, or I'm teaching or what
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: have you, and I set an alarm on my phone
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: or on the computer or on the kitchen or wherever
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I happen to be working, right to remind me sometimes
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to take a drink of water. Now, you can do
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the same thing. Simply set something on your on your phone.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Probably easy, easy, smeasy, right. Another tip. Another trick is
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: to pour water into a larger container than an eight
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: ounce glass. Right. You can try using your favorite reusable
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: water bottle or maybe that half gallon jug or gallon jug,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: so that you can have water all morning and well
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: into the afternoon. Okay. Now, be sure to have your
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: container close by so you can easily sip and drink
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: water all day long. Here's another great tip, chill your
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: water right. Research shows that you're likely to drink more
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: water if it's cold. Now, I didn't know that, did you.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I love learning new things about water. My younger sister
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: is one of the healthiest people I know. Years ago
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: she told me. She said, Gloria, if you want to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: be sure to drink enough water each day, here's what
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you do. She said, be sure to always drink a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: full glass of water before you go to the bathroom.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: That's right before you go. So when you fill the urge,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: grab your glass of water and down your H two oh,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and then you go, oh, I love that, down your
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: H two oh, and then you go all right, Okay.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Here's another tip. If you want to add some sparkle
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to your life, add some sparkle to your water. You
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: can make your water sparkle by simply adding carbon dioxide.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: You can buy a gadget to help you do that,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: or you can jazz up your water make it sparkle
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: right by adding fresh fruit like lemon slices or lime
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: or orange, or maybe strawberries or peaches or mango or melon.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Or if you love herbs like I do, add cement
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: or sage, or add veggies like slices of cucumber to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: your water. Another way to make your water sparkle. Now
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you know what, Another really simple way to increase your
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: water intake is simply by eating more vegetables and fruit, right,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: you eat them during the day. Now, most fruits veggies
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: have a very high water content. In fact, most of
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: them are like ninety ninety three, ninety five ninety eight
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: percent water. So you can enjoy them, and while you do,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: you can boost your hydration at the same time. So
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: lots of information about hydration. Right. I hope you'll agree
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that water is not only good, it is also good
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: for you. In fact, it's one of God's great gifts
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to us, a wonderful fluid for body and soul. So
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: be sure to drink up water, water, water, and more
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: water for you to boost your intellectual, physical, emotional, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: spiritual health for a healthy life. Now, before I close
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: today's episode, I just want to make sure to give
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: a shout out to all the folks who make the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: world a healthier place in the many ways that you
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: make that happen. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: wise person once told me, it's the little things you do.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: It's the little things you do day by day, over
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and over and over again. The little things you do
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: with love and with consistency. That's what makes the difference. Now,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I want you to ask yourself, what can I do?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: What can I do that will make a difference? What
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: can I do that will make a difference for my
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: own healthy living and for someone else in my life?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Is it for a spouse, your daughter or son, your
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: sister or brother, your mom or dad, or for your
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: teammate at work, or for somebody in your church or
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: temple or synagogue. Maybe it's for your neighbor, you know what.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's for someone you don't even know yet right
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: where Might I do something that will bring healthy living
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: more into focus into my own life? That's what I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: want you to ask yourself. Now, you've heard me talk
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: about the arts and how much I love the arts, singing, poetry, dancing, painting, writing.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I love listening to and singing music. That's one of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the other ways that I hydrate myself. I also love
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to color. Some time ago I bought some colored markers
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and colored pens and my own coloring book. Yes, they
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: have adult coloring books now, and I've used the pens
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and they are fabulous, and I can actually feel myself
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: responding differently when I use them, firing up that emotional
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: center in my brain and hydrating my soul. I also
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: enjoy cooking, you know, trying out new things, new dishes,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and new herbs. Right. I love using fresh herbs whenever
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I can. Maybe you do too. You can grow them
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: in your kitchen or in your garden or on your
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: deck or patio, and you can enjoy them as they
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: grow each day before your very eyes, and then you
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: can choose to eat them in the meals you cook
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: for yourself and your family and friends. Now, just be
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: sure to sip on a glass of water as you cook,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: right or before each meal and afterwards. So another question
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: for you is this, ask yourself, how is my healthy
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: living coming along? How are you making a difference that
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: makes a difference in your own healthy life and in
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: someone else's life, day by day, step by step, moment
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: by moment, sip by sip, and smile by smile, every
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: single day. Three sixty five twenty four seven. Now, if
