Ready to amp up your weight loss


efforts? Sip a BIG glass of H20 before meals. A study says drinking water 30 min- utes before everymeal could help you lose 9 ½ pounds in 12 weeks. Wow! We love this study because it cuts through a lot of the confusion buzzing in the media about Mother Nature’s ultimate health drink. Water makes up 60% of your body and


keeps every system humming, supporting sharp thinking and a bright mood, prevent- ing constipation, keeping the shock absorbers in your joints plump, delivering nutrients and hauling off waste products. It helps energize your muscles, cools you off and makes your skin glow.According to the Institute of Medicine, women need 11 cups every day (I cup=8 ounces) and men closer to 16. But 40 percent of adults under age 50 and 50-80 percent of those 50+ don’t get that much. The long-running water debate could


be getting in the way. Experts disagree about how much water we really need, how much we get from food, whether tap or bottled is safer and how much is too much. So, here’s how to figure what you need, every day. #1: Find your target: To determine


what you need, divide your weight by two and drink that amount in ounces every day. If you weigh 150 pounds, that’s 72 ounces, equal to about 9 cups. But don’t have fewer than about 8 cups a day. Tea, milk and juice count toward your total and so does coffee (it doesn’t act as a diuretic unless you’ve had more water than your body needs). Water in fruit, veggies and even bread con- tributes an additional 20 percent to your total. But don’t subtract that from the amount you sip unless you always eat enough veggies and fruit, which most folks don’t. You can also look at your urine. If you’re getting enough water you could read


look younger and live longer... What are


a newspaper through it…just don’t try. #2. Don’t worry about over-doing it.


You’d have to guzzle a gallon or more every hour to get in serious trouble with water. Hyponatremia -- mostly a concern for endurance athletes -- is the life-threatening condition in which levels of electrolytes in your blood become diluted and your body can’t function normally. Those athletes sweat out needed salt while drinking large amounts of water over long periods of time. #3. Have more if…Your body needs


extra fluids when the weather’s hot and you’ve been exercising; you’re pregnant or breast-feeding; you’ve got a fever; have diarrhea; or have been vomiting. Then drink an extra 1½ to 2 cups. Talk with your doc if you have heart failure, a kidney condition or another health issue. Make sure to ask because in some circumstances less is better than more. #4: Time it right for weight loss. In that


fantastic new study, volunteers drank about 17 ounces of water (slightly more than two cups) a half-hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thirty minutes before is key. Participants who consistently “preloaded” with H20 lost 9 ½ pounds, while the control group lost 1¾ pounds. This seems to work by making you not thirsty and making you feel full before you eat. And that helps keep you from eating in order to satisfy your thirst (yup, you do that). #5: Invest in a water bottle and a filter


for your faucet. BYO can save money and the environment. It takes17 million barrels of crude oil to create the 30 billion plastic bottles used each year and each plastic bot- tle requires more than a gallon of water to produce. Then four out of five wind up in landfills! Often bottled water just comes from a tap, so why not use your own? Get a “green” bottle, install a quality filter (read the label!) on your faucet, fill-‘er-up and don’t leave home without it. Now, enjoy that sweet sip of success.


some tips for healthy aging? Johns Hopkins Medicine answered


Developing healthy behaviors early


is one of the best things you can do to age successfully. Here are some healthy aging tips to follow each day:


• Exercise for 60 minutes (moderate


physical activity such as brisk walking or swimming).


• Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables.


• Drink five 8-ounce glasses of water.


• Take 1,200 milligrams of calcium (milk, yogurt, and cheese are among the highest sources).


• Get 800–1,000 units of vitamin D


(fortified sources such asmilk; fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel; and daily outdoor exposure—about 15 minutes).


In addition to the above, it is impor-


tant to have a family doctor whose style of communication works for you. After that, the key is to focus on those areas where you can have the greatest influence on how well you age: lifestyle, behavior and attitude. It’s not a stretch at all to grow significantly older without getting too much slower—you just have to be willing to work at it and even to somewhat ignore age as a limiting factor.
