So, where is all this stress coming from? Why have divorce rates sky rocketed? Why are families falling apart? Why is "burn out" from over work, and having a mental breakdown, so common?
There are many causes, which have resulted in this global stress epidemic. The pursuit of material wealth has always been on mankind's list of priorities. This does not seem to be going away any time soon.
Therefore, you may consider some of the following methods to detoxify your body. In comparison to the many changes you could make, increasing your intake of pure water is fairly harmless. Most people do not drink 3 glasses per day. Therefore, an increase to five, eight ounce glasses, per day, is moderate and healthy.
While we know that water is good for your skin, and will flush out your digestive system, the results of the Adventist Health Study indicate that men and women, who drink just five glasses of water per day, can greatly reduce the risk of a fatal heart attack.
"Men drinking five or more glasses of water a day can reduce their risk of a fatal heart attack by 50 percent. That's as much as stopping smoking," stated Jacqueline Chan, a researcher of the Adventist Health Study.
It may be decades before all of the benefits from drinking pure water are common knowledge, but flushing out your digestive and elimination systems is important. The last thing we need is a blockage.
Eating fresh vegetables, fruit, and whole grains, is also a good change to institute. You do not have to do it all at once, but filling up on fresh and natural food first will help you avoid being tempted by processed foods.
