Hydration
Hydration
Your body is made up of about 70% water!
Every single cell in your body needs hydration to function.
​
Water is used for many bodily processes like:
-
Regulating body temperature
-
Digesting food
-
Excreting wastes
Good quality water is needed daily, as your body loses water throughout the day as you breathe, sweat, and urinate. If you are under 8 it is recommended that you drink at least 4-6 glasses. If you are older than 8 then 6-8 glasses are recommended. More if you exercise or if it’s a hot day.
​
Symptoms of dehydration include:
-
Headaches
-
Dry mouth
-
Cracked lips
-
Feeling thirsty
-
Lethargy
-
Poor concentration
-
Dark Urine
-
Constipation
Use the chart above to determine what type of water needs your body requires more or less of to thrive.
Hack IN:-)
1. Ask: Is there more than 1 type of water problem that I need to discover?
-
If yes, ask: in TOTAL, how many types of water problems do I need to discover? 2? 3?
-
Increase the number one by one until you get a yes answer.
-
If you reach 3 without getting a yes answer, ask: do I need to discover more than 3?
-
If yes, continue increasing the number until you get a yes.
-
If no you have gone past the correct number, either start again or use a process of elimination until you find the correct number of water problems required.
2. Ask: Is the water problem I need to discover in Column A?
-
If yes, it is in Column A.
-
If no, it is in Column B.
3. Ask: Is it in Row 1?
-
If yes, it is in Row 1.
-
If no, ask it is in Row 2.
-
If no, it is in row 3.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 3 above for the number of water problems that need to be discovered.
-
Once you have the water problems required ask the following questions about each one.
7. Quality:
-
Find a better-quality source of water or a better-quality water filter asap.
Deficiency:
Ask: How many glasses of water I need each day?
-
Start at 4 and increase by 1 glass until you get a yes.
-
If you exercise on a given day, also ask how many glasses you need for those days.
Electrolyte Deficiency:
Find a high-quality source of electrolytes and take it daily.
Utilization:
Find the underlying imbalances that are not allowing you to utilize water properly?
Absorption:
Find the underlying imbalances that are not allowing you to absorb water properly?
Electrolyte Absorption:
Find the underlying imbalances that are not allowing you to absorb electrolytes properly?
Underlying Imbalance
Ask: Is there an underlying imbalance that is contributing to the utilization or absorption imbalance?
-
If no, move to healing Intention.
If yes, hack IN and clear the underlying imbalance before proceeding with this clearing.
Healing Intention
Implement the changes your body needs into your diet asap.
– your notes may look something like this:
Lifestyle: hydration x 2 – deficiency + quality = consume 6/9 glasses daily + buy new water filter.
(6 glasses needed per day – 9 glasses on my soccer day + water filter needs an upgrade)
