Quench: Beat Fatigue, Drop Weight, and Heal Your Body Through the New Science of Optimum Hydration

"The good news" in this wellness book is "an increased reliance on hydrating foods . . . can result in a more nutritious diet and foster better weight control" (Jane Brody, The New York Times).Chronic headaches, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, gut pain, autoimmune conditions. We may think these and other common illnesses are due to gluten intake or too much sugar or too little exercise. But there is another missing piece to the health puzzle: Proper hydration.Many of us are dehydrated due to moisture-lacking diets, artificial environments, medications, and over-dependence on water for hydration. Your new diet or exercise plan may fail because your body doesn't have enough moisture to support it.Quench presents a wellness routine that can reverse all of that, based on breakthrough new science in the field of hydration. Readers will be surprised to learn that drinking too much water can flush out vital nutrients and electrolytes. Here is where "gel water" comes in: the water from plants (like cucumber, berries, aloe), which our bodies are designed to truly absorb right down to the cellular level. Quench offers a five-day jump start plan: hydrating meal plans and the heart of the program, smoothies and elixirs using the most hydrating and nutrient-packed plants. Another unique feature of this approach is micro-movements—small, simple movements you can make a few times a day that will move water through your fascia, the connective tissue responsible for hydrating our bodies. You will experience more energy, focus, and better digestion within five days . . . then move onto the lifetime plan for continued improvements, even elimination of symptoms."Wow-worthy intel about the liquid we can't live without." —O Magazine Read more
