If this tale sounds uncomfortably familiar, then rest assured you are not alone. But there is good news for all of you who feel condemned to an unhealthy, exercise-deprived life – the Nikken wellness philosophy.
The road to an enhanced state of wellbeing may look steep and daunting, but we believe you can reach new levels of personal fitness without running for hours on end. Progress can be achieved just by drinking the right amount of water…
Water makes up 60 per cent of the human body. This rises to 70 per cent in the brain, 82 per cent in the blood and an incredible 90 per cent in the lungs. With such high ratios, the importance of drinking high quality water cannot be underestimated. Scientists report that a two per cent reduction of water levels in the body can correspond to a loss of 20 per cent in both physical and mental productivity. This is highly significant, as the thirst reflex does not become active until the body has already reached a state of dehydration.
Water can also be used to help you lose or control your weight. Do you sometimes find yourself eating and yet not feeling full? This happens when the body confuses the sensations of thirst and hunger. When you feel the urge to eat excessively, drink a glass of water and the craving is likely to subside, leaving you feeling full and satisfied.
Why not try drinking water with your meals? This is believed to aid the digestion process and specifically target the metabolised fats in your food. Drinking high quality water can also prevent ageing of the skin and lead to a healthier complexion.
Do remember though, that despite the considerable health benefits derived from drinking water, it is not intended to serve as a substitute for regular exercise and healthy eating. So increase the benefits of your everyday activities with CardioStrides®, savour the convenience of Nikken’s wholefood nutrition range, and whatever you do, be sure to get your daily quota of PiMag® water!
