Welcome again to
Secrets to Wellness.
00:00:20.82\00:00:23.79
We're studying
secrets or principles
00:00:23.85\00:00:26.86
that's going to
help us to live longer,
00:00:26.92\00:00:29.29
healthier, and happier.
00:00:29.32\00:00:31.26
And our first
secret is actually water.
00:00:31.29\00:00:35.80
Water, my friends,
00:00:35.83\00:00:37.20
is the beverage
designed for our health.
00:00:37.23\00:00:40.67
Water is the beverage
that God has provided for us
00:00:40.70\00:00:44.14
to even quench our thirst.
00:00:44.17\00:00:46.91
And when we drink water freely,
00:00:46.94\00:00:49.18
it actually helps supply
the necessities of our system,
00:00:49.21\00:00:52.91
and it will
actually assist nature
00:00:52.95\00:00:55.58
to help us resist disease.
00:00:55.62\00:00:58.22
So water is
very, very important,
00:00:58.25\00:01:01.39
and it is a
wonderful natural remedy.
00:01:01.42\00:01:05.79
It is very important if
we're going to have a longer
00:01:05.83\00:01:10.23
healthier, happier life.
00:01:10.27\00:01:11.97
And water is also a
powerful healing agent.
00:01:12.00\00:01:16.04
For example, we can simply
have a hot foot treatment,
00:01:16.07\00:01:21.34
foot bath treatment if
we're having a headache.
00:01:21.38\00:01:24.41
We want to get that blood
00:01:24.45\00:01:26.18
from the head down to the feet
00:01:26.21\00:01:28.75
and so, here we have a
powerful water treatment
00:01:28.78\00:01:33.56
with hot water to the
feet, cold water to the head
00:01:33.62\00:01:37.33
wrapped in a sheet
and then in a blanket,
00:01:37.39\00:01:39.89
and you will
actually feel the headache
00:01:39.96\00:01:43.03
going right out of your head.
00:01:43.06\00:01:45.90
And so water is also a
powerful healing agent.
00:01:45.93\00:01:50.44
You see, water
brings healing to the body,
00:01:50.47\00:01:53.41
whether we use it internally
00:01:53.44\00:01:55.74
or whether we use it externally.
00:01:55.78\00:01:58.65
And if we are healthy
or even if we are sick,
00:01:58.68\00:02:02.05
water is one of the
Creator's greatest blessings.
00:02:02.08\00:02:06.52
So we can use water
to help us to get better
00:02:06.55\00:02:10.13
if we're sick and we
have water to keep us well.
00:02:10.16\00:02:14.46
So water is also a
calming stress reliever.
00:02:14.50\00:02:19.33
Have you ever
been out by a stream
00:02:19.37\00:02:23.17
just flowing and feel like
00:02:23.20\00:02:25.21
you just have less
stress in your life?
00:02:25.24\00:02:28.61
Well, let's look
at Amanda Carlson,
00:02:28.64\00:02:32.85
registered dietitian, director
of performance nutrition
00:02:32.88\00:02:36.65
at Athletes' Performance,
00:02:36.69\00:02:38.62
and she is also a
trainer of world class athletes
00:02:38.65\00:02:43.22
and she says,
"Studies have shown
00:02:43.26\00:02:45.69
that being just even
half a liter dehydrated
00:02:45.73\00:02:50.00
can increase
your cortisol levels.
00:02:50.03\00:02:52.97
And this cortisone is
one of those stress hormones
00:02:53.00\00:02:57.77
that staying in a
good hydrated condition
00:02:57.81\00:03:01.18
can help keep you
your stress levels down."
00:03:01.21\00:03:04.58
So that's what we want to do
00:03:04.61\00:03:06.31
is have our
stress down, isn't it?
00:03:06.35\00:03:08.92
And when you don't
give your body the fluids
00:03:08.95\00:03:11.35
that it needs,
you're putting stress on it
00:03:11.39\00:03:14.19
and it's going
to respond to that.
00:03:14.26\00:03:16.86
So also, water is a
wonderful stress reliever.
00:03:16.93\00:03:21.60
Stress can cause dehydration
00:03:21.63\00:03:24.57
and dehydration
can cause stress.
00:03:24.60\00:03:27.34
So, my friends, it
can be a vicious circle.
00:03:27.40\00:03:31.04
If you have stress,
you probably are dehydrated
00:03:31.07\00:03:35.41
and then dehydration
actually can cause stress.
00:03:35.44\00:03:40.18
But you can break this cycle
00:03:40.22\00:03:42.62
by building more water
consumption into your day.
00:03:42.65\00:03:46.05
So we need to get
adequate amounts of water
00:03:46.09\00:03:49.92
and the proper use of water,
00:03:49.99\00:03:51.83
my friends,
actually promotes health.
00:03:51.86\00:03:54.40
And this is why this is one
of God's important remedies.
00:03:54.46\00:03:58.63
Water is a gift from God.
00:03:58.67\00:04:01.90
Right from the very
beginning of creation,
00:04:01.94\00:04:05.11
God gave us the
wonderful gift of water.
00:04:05.14\00:04:08.38
But someone asked,
"Why is water so important?"
00:04:08.41\00:04:12.35
Well, water is important
00:04:12.38\00:04:15.12
because adults are
60% water by weight,
00:04:15.15\00:04:18.99
and the brain is
85% water by weight,
00:04:19.02\00:04:23.53
and the blood is
90% water by weight.
00:04:23.56\00:04:26.83
And so we have body
that's full of water,
00:04:26.90\00:04:30.87
and water is needed for
every function of human life.
00:04:30.93\00:04:34.70
It's needed just to
breathe our respiration.
00:04:34.74\00:04:38.24
It's needed for digestion.
00:04:38.27\00:04:40.34
It's needed for flexibility,
00:04:40.38\00:04:42.71
so that we can
even flex our muscles,
00:04:42.74\00:04:44.95
so water is needed for
every human function of life.
00:04:44.98\00:04:49.38
And water is essential
00:04:49.42\00:04:51.79
for efficient circulation
of the blood as well.
00:04:51.82\00:04:55.72
And so, we need water
00:04:55.76\00:04:57.73
because we have
normal water loss.
00:04:57.76\00:05:00.73
We have loss through
the lungs when we breathe.
00:05:00.76\00:05:03.90
We have loss through the
skin when we sweat or perspire.
00:05:03.97\00:05:07.80
And then we have a loss
of water through the kidneys
00:05:07.84\00:05:11.34
and the bowels.
00:05:11.37\00:05:12.91
So we eliminate
toxins these four ways,
00:05:12.94\00:05:16.85
through the
lungs, through the skin,
00:05:16.88\00:05:19.21
through the kidneys,
and through the intestines,
00:05:19.25\00:05:21.98
so we have water loss every day.
00:05:22.02\00:05:25.15
But let's look at
the healthful benefits
00:05:25.19\00:05:28.29
of replenishing that water.
00:05:28.32\00:05:30.56
And so, we're looking
at some benefits of water.
00:05:30.63\00:05:33.70
Scientific studies
revealed the following benefits.
00:05:33.73\00:05:37.17
First, my friends,
it's improving digestion.
00:05:37.23\00:05:40.70
Now that is, of course,
00:05:40.74\00:05:42.07
if we're drinking
water at the right time,
00:05:42.10\00:05:44.51
and we'll discuss that as well.
00:05:44.54\00:05:46.84
And water purifies the blood,
it enhances the circulation,
00:05:46.88\00:05:51.85
eliminates the toxins,
00:05:51.88\00:05:53.52
and every day our
body is filled with toxins
00:05:53.58\00:05:57.59
just from our surroundings.
00:05:57.62\00:06:00.09
And then also a wonderful thing
00:06:00.12\00:06:03.02
that happens is that
it increases our energy.
00:06:03.06\00:06:06.06
Have you ever
felt lack of energy?
00:06:06.09\00:06:08.46
Well, water will
increase your energy.
00:06:08.50\00:06:11.53
And water also is
good for treatments.
00:06:11.57\00:06:14.40
This has healing advantages
00:06:14.44\00:06:16.91
as we have those
good water treatments,
00:06:16.94\00:06:20.81
and water builds
the immune system
00:06:20.88\00:06:23.55
just as we get in that shower
and take a hot and cold shower.
00:06:23.58\00:06:27.88
Every day I take a
hot and cold shower.
00:06:27.92\00:06:31.02
I get in there
and I love the hot,
00:06:31.05\00:06:33.86
sometimes the cold
is a little stimulating
00:06:33.89\00:06:38.09
but I go in and
take a hot shower
00:06:38.13\00:06:41.66
for two to three minutes,
00:06:41.70\00:06:43.43
and then you can turn on
the cold for about 30 seconds.
00:06:43.47\00:06:47.40
The way I have to do it
is often count really fast,
00:06:47.44\00:06:51.07
one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
00:06:51.11\00:06:53.74
and then another
10 and another 10.
00:06:53.78\00:06:55.98
I'm counting a
little slower by the time
00:06:56.01\00:06:58.48
I get to the
third 10 and 30 seconds,
00:06:58.51\00:07:02.45
and you'll feel stimulated
and you'll feel energized.
00:07:02.48\00:07:07.02
And then repeat this,
00:07:07.09\00:07:08.52
especially if
you are feeling sick,
00:07:08.56\00:07:11.86
repeat it at least three times.
00:07:11.89\00:07:14.20
And then, of course,
always end with cold.
00:07:14.23\00:07:17.47
So hot and cold shower actually
builds your immune system.
00:07:17.50\00:07:22.80
And also drinking lots of
water improves our memory.
00:07:22.84\00:07:26.88
We all want to
improve our memory, right?
00:07:26.91\00:07:29.91
And so, drinking
lots of water does that
00:07:29.94\00:07:33.42
because you see the brain
in order to remain active,
00:07:33.45\00:07:36.82
it must have water.
00:07:36.89\00:07:38.65
In fact, reports indicate
that long term dehydration
00:07:38.69\00:07:42.92
may even contribute
to Alzheimer's disease.
00:07:42.96\00:07:47.60
Alzheimer's
disease is on the rise.
00:07:47.60\00:07:50.97
And one of the reasons,
there are several reasons,
00:07:51.00\00:07:54.14
but one of the reasons is
that when people get older,
00:07:54.20\00:07:58.11
they actually
don't drink enough water.
00:07:58.14\00:08:01.44
So we need water for
the brain to be active.
00:08:01.48\00:08:05.98
You see the human
brain is about one-fiftieth
00:08:06.01\00:08:09.22
of the total body weight,
and brain cells are 85% water.
00:08:09.25\00:08:14.62
So we truly need water
to keep our brain healthy,
00:08:14.66\00:08:19.83
and we need
adequate amounts of water
00:08:19.86\00:08:22.03
for many functions of life.
00:08:22.06\00:08:25.20
Look, if we expect
the body to function
00:08:25.23\00:08:28.24
with just a
little amount of water,
00:08:28.27\00:08:31.17
it's like, my friends,
00:08:31.21\00:08:32.87
trying to wash
these dirty dishes
00:08:32.91\00:08:36.08
in just a cup full of water.
00:08:36.11\00:08:38.65
Now, these dishes
aren't going to get very clean,
00:08:38.68\00:08:41.65
are they with just
one cup or two cups
00:08:41.68\00:08:44.75
or maybe even
three cups of water.
00:08:44.79\00:08:47.39
They're not going
to get very clean,
00:08:47.46\00:08:49.16
and neither can
we cleanse our system
00:08:49.19\00:08:52.56
on just a few cups of water.
00:08:52.59\00:08:55.53
So the question is,
how much do we really need.
00:08:55.56\00:08:58.73
I'm glad you asked that question
00:08:58.77\00:09:01.00
because it's very important.
00:09:01.04\00:09:03.00
Well, we get water
sources from different ways.
00:09:03.04\00:09:06.74
Of course, we
get it from our food,
00:09:06.81\00:09:08.68
especially, if we're
eating a lot of fruit,
00:09:08.71\00:09:12.25
that contains a lot of water,
00:09:12.28\00:09:14.48
and then we get it from
the water that we drink.
00:09:14.52\00:09:17.95
And so, since we get
some water from our food,
00:09:17.99\00:09:21.56
we really need about eight
ounce glasses of water a day
00:09:21.59\00:09:26.39
or two liters every day.
00:09:26.43\00:09:29.96
So we need at least
four to five to even survive,
00:09:30.00\00:09:34.94
and we need seven or
eight to really feel great,
00:09:34.97\00:09:38.84
and nine or ten if we
need to be revitalized.
00:09:38.87\00:09:42.38
If we're feeling not well
00:09:42.41\00:09:43.95
or if the climate is dry,
we may need a little more,
00:09:43.98\00:09:48.72
so we can be
revitalized with nine or ten.
00:09:48.75\00:09:51.95
But most of us need about
00:09:51.99\00:09:54.32
eight ounce
glasses of water a day.
00:09:54.36\00:09:57.43
But then you ask also,
00:09:57.46\00:09:58.99
"Don't most people
drink enough water?"
00:09:59.03\00:10:02.93
Well, the truth of the
matter is that people today
00:10:02.96\00:10:07.10
drink more soft
drinks, and more coffee,
00:10:07.14\00:10:11.51
and more caffeine.
00:10:11.54\00:10:12.91
You see, these coffee shops
00:10:12.94\00:10:15.84
just lined up
with several people
00:10:15.88\00:10:18.45
waiting for caffeine.
00:10:18.48\00:10:20.48
And then they drink more alcohol
00:10:20.52\00:10:23.45
than they do good pure water.
00:10:23.49\00:10:26.72
So we need to have more water
00:10:26.76\00:10:29.36
in order to truly be
healthy and live longer
00:10:29.39\00:10:33.23
but look, let's look at
the consumption of soft drinks.
00:10:33.26\00:10:36.80
A staggering 90% of
the world's population
00:10:36.83\00:10:40.94
consumes
caffeinated soft drinks.
00:10:40.97\00:10:44.91
And 9 of 10 people all
over the world, my friends,
00:10:44.94\00:10:50.58
are drinking
caffeine soft drinks.
00:10:50.61\00:10:52.75
I see it as I
travel the world as well.
00:10:52.78\00:10:55.98
And let's look
at the consumption
00:10:56.02\00:10:57.85
of what kids are drinking.
00:10:57.89\00:11:00.36
The kids with the highest
consumption levels reported
00:11:00.39\00:11:03.43
drinking about 20
ounces of soft drinks a day,
00:11:03.46\00:11:06.90
equal to nearly
two popular sized cans.
00:11:06.93\00:11:11.37
So when we are
getting this much soft drinks
00:11:11.40\00:11:16.37
which are
dehydrating, not re-dehydrating,
00:11:16.40\00:11:19.97
we're really not
hydrating our body.
00:11:20.04\00:11:23.41
And look,
public health officials
00:11:23.45\00:11:25.85
call soft drinks liquid candy,
00:11:25.88\00:11:28.75
because most boys
get 10 or 15 teaspoons
00:11:28.78\00:11:33.22
of refined sugar daily,
00:11:33.25\00:11:35.19
and most girls
about 10 teaspoons
00:11:35.22\00:11:38.93
all from sweetened beverages.
00:11:38.96\00:11:40.96
Now, this doesn't
count, my friends,
00:11:41.00\00:11:43.50
what they're getting from
candy and from sugar cereals
00:11:43.53\00:11:48.00
and from other
sources of processed foods,
00:11:48.04\00:11:51.24
but this is just
from sweetened beverages.
00:11:51.27\00:11:55.41
And
approximately 20% of toddlers
00:11:55.44\00:11:59.01
between the ages of even
one and two consume soft drinks.
00:11:59.05\00:12:04.09
It is so sad when
you see little babies,
00:12:04.12\00:12:08.06
little tiny
children drinking soft drinks
00:12:08.09\00:12:11.33
out of a baby bottle.
00:12:11.36\00:12:13.83
But the
consumption of soft drinks
00:12:13.90\00:12:15.80
annually in the United States
00:12:15.83\00:12:18.83
in 2015 was 40.7
gallons per person.
00:12:18.87\00:12:24.07
Now, I hope someone
is getting your share,
00:12:24.11\00:12:26.94
and I'm sure
someone's getting my share
00:12:26.98\00:12:29.11
because I don't
drink any soft drinks
00:12:29.14\00:12:32.78
because I know they're
detrimental to our health.
00:12:32.81\00:12:36.05
And according to the
National Soft Drink Association
00:12:36.08\00:12:39.42
consumption of soft drinks
00:12:39.45\00:12:41.06
is now over 600
12-ounce servings
00:12:41.09\00:12:45.19
per person, per year.
00:12:45.23\00:12:47.56
This is, my
friends, 19.72 ounces daily.
00:12:47.60\00:12:53.27
This is
astronomical, it's unbelievable.
00:12:53.30\00:12:58.47
And the highest
consumption of soft drinks
00:12:58.51\00:13:00.81
is actually in males
between the ages of 12 and 29,
00:13:00.88\00:13:06.28
and they average a
half a gallon a day
00:13:06.31\00:13:09.35
or eight ounce cups daily.
00:13:09.38\00:13:13.66
That is way too
many empty calories
00:13:13.69\00:13:17.93
that we are getting.
00:13:17.96\00:13:19.59
And how does this happen,
you say, how can this be true?
00:13:19.63\00:13:24.13
Well, fast food chains offer
00:13:24.17\00:13:26.43
20 ounce drinks
with free refills,
00:13:26.47\00:13:29.64
and people want to
get their money's worth,
00:13:29.67\00:13:32.14
and so at the movie theaters
as well as convenience stores,
00:13:32.17\00:13:35.81
the most popular size is
now the 64-ounce Double Gulp.
00:13:35.84\00:13:41.85
And so people are
getting more soft drinks
00:13:41.88\00:13:45.42
than the body can
really even handle.
00:13:45.45\00:13:49.42
What about soft
drinks and other beverages?
00:13:49.46\00:13:51.83
someone ask.
00:13:51.86\00:13:53.19
Well, does it
matter really what I drink,
00:13:53.23\00:13:55.96
they all contain
water don't they?
00:13:56.00\00:13:58.27
So does it really matter?
00:13:58.30\00:13:59.83
Well, the body does
use water in all its forms,
00:13:59.87\00:14:03.27
but these beverages pose
many, many problems, my friend.
00:14:03.30\00:14:07.58
So let's look at the
real truth about soft drinks.
00:14:07.61\00:14:11.68
Soft drinks are
detrimental to our health.
00:14:11.71\00:14:15.05
They're filled with
sugar and chemicals,
00:14:15.08\00:14:17.95
and they have health risks.
00:14:17.99\00:14:21.26
And look, the Harvard School
of Public Health reported,
00:14:21.29\00:14:25.16
"Soft drinks are
the beverage of choice
00:14:25.19\00:14:27.86
for millions of Americans,
00:14:27.93\00:14:29.63
but sugary drinks increase
the risk of type 2 diabetes,
00:14:29.66\00:14:34.64
and heart disease, and
other chronic conditions."
00:14:34.67\00:14:38.94
So these diseases
that we've talked about
00:14:38.97\00:14:41.74
diabetes to heart disease,
all of these chronic diseases
00:14:41.78\00:14:46.61
are actually because of
our lifestyle practices,
00:14:46.68\00:14:50.35
and soft drinks is
one problem that we have.
00:14:50.39\00:14:55.02
In a study of 40,000 men
for two decades found that
00:14:55.06\00:14:59.43
those who averaged one can
of a sugary beverage per day
00:14:59.46\00:15:04.20
had a 20% higher
risk of a heart attack.
00:15:04.27\00:15:08.14
So these scientific
findings are now showing us
00:15:08.17\00:15:13.61
that some of the
things that we're doing
00:15:13.68\00:15:16.21
in our lifestyle
practices are actually causing
00:15:16.24\00:15:19.51
some of these chronic diseases.
00:15:19.55\00:15:21.88
In another study of 80,000 women
00:15:21.92\00:15:25.22
found that those
who consumed a can a day
00:15:25.25\00:15:28.89
of sugary drink had a
75% higher risk of gout
00:15:28.92\00:15:34.00
than women who
rarely drink such drinks.
00:15:34.10\00:15:37.83
And so, we're finding
science is finding that
00:15:37.87\00:15:41.84
we have to cut out really
00:15:41.87\00:15:44.84
some of these
beverages that we're drinking.
00:15:44.87\00:15:47.58
Soft drinks contain
large, large amounts of sugar.
00:15:47.61\00:15:52.48
In fact, a 20
ounce bottle of soda
00:15:52.51\00:15:55.88
may contain up to
36 cubes of sugar.
00:15:55.92\00:16:01.46
This is amazing, my friends,
00:16:01.49\00:16:03.96
that is an astronomical amount
00:16:03.99\00:16:08.50
and one, even one glass contains
00:16:08.53\00:16:11.47
about eight teaspoons of sugar
00:16:11.50\00:16:14.67
and that's a
small glass actually.
00:16:14.70\00:16:17.11
There are much larger ones than
that that people are drinking.
00:16:17.14\00:16:21.04
And sugar weakens
the immune system,
00:16:21.08\00:16:24.28
and sugar reduces the
ability to fight disease.
00:16:24.31\00:16:28.42
Soft drinks
break down the system
00:16:28.45\00:16:30.59
and predispose
our body to disease.
00:16:30.62\00:16:33.86
So we're seeing that soft drinks
00:16:33.89\00:16:37.03
are filled with empty calories.
00:16:37.06\00:16:39.43
They contain no
nutrition at all.
00:16:39.46\00:16:43.16
And soft drinks
contain empty calories,
00:16:43.20\00:16:47.40
we get the calories
00:16:47.44\00:16:48.87
but we do not get the
nutrition that we need.
00:16:48.90\00:16:52.74
And so we have no
vitamins, we have low minerals,
00:16:52.77\00:16:57.11
high empty
calories and high sugar.
00:16:57.15\00:17:00.65
I'd like to do a
little experiment here
00:17:00.68\00:17:03.45
and show you how much sugar
00:17:03.52\00:17:06.59
is actually in a 12
ounce can of a soft drink.
00:17:06.62\00:17:12.66
So let's take this good water.
00:17:12.69\00:17:14.93
Now, this is
good purified water.
00:17:14.96\00:17:18.83
And how many would
like to drink this?
00:17:18.87\00:17:21.20
Would you like to
drink this, my friends,
00:17:21.24\00:17:22.90
those of you watching on 3ABN?
00:17:22.94\00:17:25.24
You'd like to drink
this good pure water, right?
00:17:25.27\00:17:27.91
Well, I'm going to
pour that into our glass,
00:17:27.94\00:17:31.38
and then we'll add
here a few chemicals,
00:17:31.41\00:17:36.15
and so we'll put
some coloring in here
00:17:36.18\00:17:40.16
and add a little bit
of that but, of course,
00:17:40.19\00:17:42.82
you have the caffeine
as well in these sugar,
00:17:42.86\00:17:47.30
in these soft
drinks and then we'll add
00:17:47.30\00:17:50.17
a little more
chemicals here to it.
00:17:50.23\00:17:54.80
And then we'll try
to make this look like,
00:17:54.84\00:17:59.14
just like a soft drink
that you're going to get,
00:17:59.17\00:18:02.78
and we'll stir
this around and then...
00:18:02.81\00:18:07.05
Now, we have a soft drink,
00:18:07.08\00:18:09.28
but let me share how much sugar
00:18:09.32\00:18:11.42
you are getting
in this one glass.
00:18:11.45\00:18:14.86
Well, we have one,
00:18:14.89\00:18:17.89
two, three,
00:18:17.93\00:18:22.20
four, five,
00:18:22.23\00:18:26.50
six, seven,
00:18:26.53\00:18:30.81
eight, nine, ten.
00:18:30.84\00:18:36.14
And in some soft drinks
we even have as many as 12.
00:18:36.18\00:18:41.28
Now, would you
like to drink this?
00:18:41.32\00:18:43.92
I don't think so,
00:18:43.99\00:18:45.75
but many people don't realize
00:18:45.79\00:18:48.96
how much sugar that
they're really getting
00:18:48.99\00:18:51.96
in these soft drinks
00:18:51.99\00:18:53.40
which are
detrimental to our health.
00:18:53.43\00:18:56.43
And so we have the
calories down and...
00:18:56.46\00:19:00.37
The calories up
and the sugar is up,
00:19:00.40\00:19:05.54
so the vitamins are
down, the minerals are down
00:19:05.57\00:19:09.68
but the calories are up.
00:19:09.71\00:19:11.28
And so what do
we have, my friends?
00:19:11.31\00:19:13.21
We have unbalanced nutrition.
00:19:13.25\00:19:16.12
Soft drinks give you
too many extra calories
00:19:16.15\00:19:19.35
and that's why we
have an obesity problem
00:19:19.39\00:19:22.36
here in this country.
00:19:22.39\00:19:24.39
And Harvard School of
Public Health reported,
00:19:24.43\00:19:27.30
"A recent ground-breaking
study of 33,097 individuals
00:19:27.36\00:19:33.64
showed that among people
00:19:33.67\00:19:35.24
with a genetic
predisposition for obesity,
00:19:35.27\00:19:39.24
those who drank sugary drinks
were more likely to be obese
00:19:39.27\00:19:44.08
than those who did not."
00:19:44.15\00:19:46.05
And then we wonder why we have
00:19:46.08\00:19:48.32
a problem with
obesity in this country?
00:19:48.35\00:19:50.92
It's because people
are filling their carts,
00:19:50.99\00:19:53.96
their wagons at
the grocery store
00:19:53.99\00:19:56.42
with all of these soft drinks.
00:19:56.46\00:19:59.19
So we need to be
aware of the factors
00:19:59.23\00:20:02.10
that increase
our risk of obesity,
00:20:02.13\00:20:05.23
and yet water helps us
00:20:05.27\00:20:07.90
to lose weight, not gain weight,
00:20:07.94\00:20:10.61
it's an effective
appetite suppressant,
00:20:10.67\00:20:14.18
so we actually eat less.
00:20:14.24\00:20:16.38
So we need to drink more water
00:20:16.41\00:20:18.65
and not these other soft drinks.
00:20:18.68\00:20:21.12
And yet people all
over the world, my friends,
00:20:21.15\00:20:24.05
get inadequate amounts of water.
00:20:24.09\00:20:27.52
And inadequate amount
of water negatively impacts
00:20:27.56\00:20:30.59
both our health and
even our mental attitudes.
00:20:30.63\00:20:34.60
So it not only
affects our physical health,
00:20:34.63\00:20:37.50
but also our mental health.
00:20:37.53\00:20:39.80
Many people, my
friends, are actually dehydrated
00:20:39.83\00:20:43.57
and they don't even know it
and they're not really sick,
00:20:43.64\00:20:47.64
they're just plain thirsty.
00:20:47.68\00:20:50.38
And there are some
signs of dehydration.
00:20:50.41\00:20:53.45
One is tiredness.
00:20:53.48\00:20:55.45
If you're feeling
tired and lack of energy,
00:20:55.48\00:20:59.19
it may be that
you need more water.
00:20:59.22\00:21:02.29
If you're experiencing
headaches all the time,
00:21:02.32\00:21:05.43
it may be that
you're lacking water
00:21:05.46\00:21:08.26
and you need to drink more.
00:21:08.30\00:21:10.23
And if you have dry skin
00:21:10.27\00:21:12.73
or you even have
excessive thirst.
00:21:12.77\00:21:15.20
Now, you'll have some thirst
when you start drinking water.
00:21:15.24\00:21:19.01
You'll want to
drink more actually
00:21:19.04\00:21:21.71
as you even start
drinking, but excessive thirst
00:21:21.74\00:21:25.91
is a very good
sign of dehydration,
00:21:25.95\00:21:29.12
but a very good
sign is the urine.
00:21:29.15\00:21:32.35
Every day there
should be a clear urine.
00:21:32.39\00:21:35.19
If you know that
you're getting a yellow urine,
00:21:35.22\00:21:38.59
you know that you're
not drinking enough water.
00:21:38.63\00:21:41.43
And this is a good way to tell
00:21:41.46\00:21:43.73
whether you're
drinking enough or not.
00:21:43.80\00:21:46.67
Well, when
should we drink water?
00:21:46.70\00:21:48.87
When should we drink water?
00:21:48.90\00:21:50.27
Well, the best time to
drink is in between our meals
00:21:50.34\00:21:53.07
and not with our meals.
00:21:53.11\00:21:55.54
In fact, drinking
with meals can interfere
00:21:55.58\00:21:58.18
with the natural levels of acid
00:21:58.21\00:22:02.32
needed in the stomach
to digest food properly.
00:22:02.35\00:22:05.82
In fact in a book Councils
on Diets and Foods, page 420,
00:22:05.85\00:22:09.86
it says this, "Many
make a mistake in drinking
00:22:09.89\00:22:13.23
cold water with their meals.
00:22:13.26\00:22:15.10
Taken with meals,
water diminishes the flow
00:22:15.13\00:22:18.33
of the salivary glands,
and the colder the water,
00:22:18.37\00:22:22.10
the greater the
injury to the stomach.
00:22:22.14\00:22:26.64
So eat slowly,
00:22:26.68\00:22:28.44
and allow the saliva
to mingle with the food.
00:22:28.48\00:22:31.71
The more liquid there
is taken into the stomach
00:22:31.75\00:22:35.02
with the meals,
the more difficult
00:22:35.05\00:22:37.65
it is for the food to digest,
00:22:37.69\00:22:40.02
for the liquid
must first be absorbed.
00:22:40.06\00:22:43.06
But if anything is needed
to quench thirst, pure water,
00:22:43.09\00:22:47.30
drunk some time
before or after the meal,
00:22:47.36\00:22:51.17
is all that nature requires."
00:22:51.20\00:22:53.77
So, my friends, you
see what happens is this.
00:22:53.80\00:22:57.14
When we drink cold water
and we drink it with our meals,
00:22:57.17\00:23:01.31
the water has to warm
up to our body temperature
00:23:01.34\00:23:04.68
before digestion begins
and then it has to be absorbed
00:23:04.71\00:23:10.29
before digestion starts.
00:23:10.32\00:23:13.96
So actually
drinking with meals delays
00:23:13.99\00:23:18.16
the whole digestive processes.
00:23:18.19\00:23:20.70
And so, we should drink
00:23:20.73\00:23:22.36
approximately 30
minutes before a meal
00:23:22.40\00:23:26.47
and two hours after a
meal to really be healthy.
00:23:26.50\00:23:30.97
And when should we start?
00:23:31.01\00:23:32.34
We'll start with two
glasses in the morning.
00:23:32.37\00:23:34.61
I start with those two glasses
every morning when I get up.
00:23:34.64\00:23:38.41
My friends, our
bodies need water
00:23:38.45\00:23:40.88
both on the inside
and on the outside.
00:23:40.92\00:23:45.35
And so we need it,
likewise on the outside
00:23:45.39\00:23:48.79
in order to be really healthy
and a daily bath fortifies
00:23:48.82\00:23:52.16
even against a common cold.
00:23:52.19\00:23:54.30
And so, a bath is going
to help if you have a cold
00:23:54.36\00:23:57.53
because the
circulation is improved
00:23:57.57\00:24:00.44
and the blood flows freely.
00:24:00.47\00:24:03.71
In fact, in the book Counsels
on Health, 104, it says,
00:24:03.74\00:24:07.58
"Bathing helps the bowels,
the stomach, and the liver,
00:24:07.61\00:24:11.01
giving energy and
new life to each."
00:24:11.05\00:24:14.35
So if you want
energy and new life
00:24:14.38\00:24:18.09
to the entire
system, the bowels,
00:24:18.12\00:24:20.79
the stomach and even the liver,
00:24:20.86\00:24:22.99
then even take a
bath occasionally.
00:24:23.02\00:24:25.69
I know, that we
have showers today
00:24:25.73\00:24:27.93
and that's very
good, we need one every day
00:24:27.96\00:24:30.73
but occasionally it's
good to have a bath as well.
00:24:30.77\00:24:33.90
In fact, Child
Guidance, 108 says this,
00:24:33.94\00:24:37.11
"Scrupulous
cleanliness is essential
00:24:37.17\00:24:39.67
to both physical
and mental health.
00:24:39.71\00:24:42.01
Impurities are
constantly thrown off
00:24:42.04\00:24:44.41
from the body through the skin.
00:24:44.45\00:24:46.25
Its millions of
pores are quickly clogged
00:24:46.28\00:24:49.58
unless kept clean
by frequent bathing."
00:24:49.62\00:24:53.72
So we need, my
friends, water on the outside
00:24:53.76\00:24:57.79
and water on the
inside, and occasionally a bath
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.96
because the entire
system is strengthened
00:25:01.00\00:25:03.80
not weakened with a warm bath
00:25:03.87\00:25:07.34
and a warm bath
also improves our sleep,
00:25:07.37\00:25:11.27
so we need water, my friends,
00:25:11.31\00:25:13.48
on the inside to
promote good health.
00:25:13.51\00:25:16.41
And water
invigorates the entire system
00:25:16.44\00:25:19.61
and brings health to our bodies.
00:25:19.65\00:25:23.05
So we need to
use it on the outside
00:25:23.08\00:25:26.35
because water helps
eliminate even some suffering,
00:25:26.39\00:25:30.73
and water is a means of
saving many, many lives.
00:25:30.76\00:25:35.93
So God has given
us the gift of water.
00:25:35.96\00:25:39.27
So drink water
freely, cleansing the inside
00:25:39.30\00:25:43.87
and bathe daily to
cleanse the outside.
00:25:43.91\00:25:47.58
These are God's true
remedies, my friends,
00:25:47.61\00:25:51.05
so drinking plenty of
water helps promote wellness.
00:25:51.08\00:25:55.08
So here is your prescription.
00:25:55.12\00:25:57.39
Drink eight, eight ounce
glasses of water every day,
00:25:57.45\00:26:02.22
and then count how
many glasses you drink.
00:26:02.26\00:26:06.13
Many people don't know,
00:26:06.16\00:26:08.06
they're not aware of how
much they are actually drinking.
00:26:08.10\00:26:11.70
So water is
available to all of us.
00:26:11.73\00:26:14.57
This is another one of
God's health assurance plan,
00:26:14.60\00:26:18.71
so that we can be
living to that healthy 100.
00:26:18.74\00:26:22.21
So here are my
teenie tips for you.
00:26:22.24\00:26:24.95
Drink two glasses of warm water
when you rise in the morning.
00:26:24.98\00:26:29.78
And then drink 30
minutes before a meal
00:26:29.82\00:26:32.55
or two hours after a meal.
00:26:32.59\00:26:34.52
And even carry your
water bottle with you.
00:26:34.56\00:26:37.46
And then drink eight,
00:26:37.53\00:26:38.86
eight ounce
glasses of water daily.
00:26:38.89\00:26:41.66
And then get
water on the outside.
00:26:41.70\00:26:44.33
Take a bath or shower daily.
00:26:44.37\00:26:46.57
Take a tepid bath regularly
00:26:46.60\00:26:48.80
and use water treatments
even for headaches or colds.
00:26:48.84\00:26:52.41
My friends, in Revelation 22:17,
00:26:52.44\00:26:56.51
it says this, "And the Spirit
and the bride say, 'Come!'
00:26:56.54\00:27:00.15
and let him who
hears say, 'Come!'
00:27:00.18\00:27:02.92
and let him who thirsts comes.
00:27:02.95\00:27:05.12
Whoever desires, let him
take the water of life freely."
00:27:05.15\00:27:10.99
God bless you, my friends,
00:27:11.03\00:27:12.69
as you choose another one
of God's remedies for help.
