Have you ever wondered whether there is a meal that could be qualified as the healthiest in the world? In that case, I will tell you that the answer is easier than you may believe.
To know the answer, just bear in mind what our body cells are made of. It is said that our body consists of up to 80% water. So the healthiest "meal" ever for our physical body can be no other than pure, clean mineral water!
For whoever could disagree on that, I will try to prove it: Just think how much time could we remain alive without crunching anything between our teeth? (i.e. without eating something solid). Possibly a couple of weeks or even one or two months for those who are very strong Now, how much time would we stay alive without drinking a single drop of water? A week?
Perhaps someone could say that they have drunk no water at all during weeks or even months, but that is not exactly so. Water is found in every nutrient that we have everyday, and most of the time it is the main component. We would be surprised to realize how much water are we "eating" when consuming fruits or vegetables.
The greatest recommendation about drinking water is what many nutritionists say: we should drink, at least, two liters of pure, good balanced water every day. This is so, because water restores and refreshes all the cells of our physical body.
Another recommendation: water should be taken between meals, when there is no digestion at work. The reason for this is that, in some cases, a great deal of liquid makes digestion difficult and heavy.
Now, it is not always easy to drink a couple of glasses full of plain water, especially if we are not particularly thirsty. In that case, it is advisable to proceed with our water drinking when we are hungry! So instead of a solid food, we will take around a half-liter pure mineral water and the "hungry feeling" will then disappear. And if it doesn't, we could then take another half liter.
This is also a good practice for those who want to lose weight. Instead of eating an ice-cream and biscuits, let us "eat" sound and well balanced mineral water to restore and refresh all the cells in our body.
In conclusion, the healthiest "meal" for a body that consists mainly of water is water! Simple, isn't it? Besides, the option of modifying bad eating habits and replacing them by a good deal of sound water will also aid us lose those few (or not so few) annoying pounds we want to get rid of.
