Body:

Cleanse your body with extra water. Water helps cleanse the toxins from your system. Scientists tell us that dehydration has a negative effect on your metabolism by slowing it down. So if you are trying to drop a few extra pounds before the big HOLIDAY, begin to drink extra water daily.

Feeling tired? Fatigue is another sign of dehydration. The brain also slows down when dehydrated.  

The solution: Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning, Sip water during the day when you feel tired or your brain seems cloudy. Place 6 pennies on the counter beside a small cup (I use a plastic lid from my hairspray bottle) at the start of the day, after drinking a glass of water, place a penny in the cup. (Use a water filter to conserve cost. Just think how much money you are saving, by not buying the bottled water!)

SOUL:

Water in The Bible is used as a metaphor for purity and life. Jesus told us He was the Living Water and if we would drink of Him we would not thirst again. Read the story of Jesus with the woman at the well in John 4. This is a great chapter, lots to think about. Try reading it every day for a week. There is much to be learned from Jesus and this woman. Keep a log of the ways the water affects people in this story. Ask Jesus to be your Living Water. Think about it each time you drink water.
