Drinking of water by Health practitioners cannot be over emphasized,but most people do not adhere to 2-3 liters daily,For Sarah Smith who is a 42 year old mother of two young kids in the UK. She like many others, openly admitted to not drinking the recommended 2 to 3
liters of water daily. She suffered from
poor and sluggish indigestion and regular headaches. Following
consultations with medical professionals for both issues she decided to
take heed of the advice given – in both cases she had been told that she
needed to up her intake of water.
She decided to document and photograph what happened in a self
imposed experiment whereby she would drink 3 liters, just over 5 pints,
of water per day, every day for an entire month and see if she could
feel any benefits.
At the outset Sarah took a long hard look at her face noting that “I
am 42, but have to admit I look more like 52 in this picture, which is
shocking. There are dark shadows under and around my eyes, which make me
look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles and strange reddish blotches,
and my skin lacks any lustre. It looks dead….even my lips look
shrivelled.”
She spread the water out during the day aiming to drink a big jug of
water in the morning, another in the afternoon with a third in the
evening.
At the end of the first week she had already noticed that her bowel
function was improved and her urine was virtually clear as the water was
flushing out her previously dehydrated poorly functioning kidneys. She
noticed sudden skin breakouts, which were a result of the toxins being
eliminated from throughout her body. However her headaches were already
gone and her previous joint stiffness first thing in the morning was
vastly improved. Water is vital for lubricating the joints.
Week two saw an improvement in her skin tone and general complexion
although she noted that her eyes were still wrinkled but said “they look
less crepey and shadowy than before”. She also had a visibly flatter
stomach and her smart husband paid her the ultimate compliment by noting
that her cellulite had vanished! Significantly she had another week
headache free.
On to week three when Sarah was happy to find that her eye wrinkles
and dark circles had all but disappeared and her skin was plumper and
healthier looking. She noted that she was actually eating less by this
stage as she had fallen into the common trap of reading signals from her
stomach as being hunger pangs whereas they were actually thirst pangs.
Research has shown that 37 per cent of people actually mistake thirst
signals for hunger signals. The plentiful water had now stopped her from
continually falling into that unhealthy trap.
So what about the end of week four? Sarah said “I genuinely can’t
believe the difference in my face. I look like a different woman. The
dark shadows around my eyes have all but disappeared and the blotches
have gone. My skin is almost as dewy as it was when I was a child. The
transformation is nothing short of remarkable.” She was leaner, fitter
and nobody can deny the astonishing change to her appearance. She
changed nothing else in her daily routine apart from the water intake.
