Your Fibromyalgia Diet Should Include More Water
Water is vital to our health, but still we never seem to drink enough of it. A little more than a third of fibromyalgia suffers drink the recommended minimum is 8 full glasses of water a day, but most of us never even come close.
I know people who never drink plain water, never! Instead they quench their thirst with sugary sodas, diet sodas, teas, coffee, energy drinks, and whatever else that is available that they can find. Is it any wonder that many of us suffer from chronic conditions that are brought on my food preservatives, additives, and other unhealthy ingredients that is offered up in the name of convenience.
Many people drink coffee, soda and tea, and I do too occasionally, but too much of it, and it removes water from your system due to its natural diuretic properties.
Another point to add is it’s stimulate effect that may give you a boost of energy, but you will feel worse later, and may have more difficulty sleeping later.
Water Helps Remove Toxins
We need to take in water to flush out harmful toxins that we not only intake, but are naturally created in our system. Flushing these toxins can help with a myriad of symptoms: decrease headaches, improve energy, improve fatigue, prevent constipation, help prevent hemorrhoids, and most importantly decrease pain and inflammation in the joints, tissues, and muscles. Many of these symptoms can be directly correlated with fibromyalgia syndrome.
If you can’t stomach the water out of your tap filter it, or try some sparkling mineral water. I drink it daily with a slice of lime, and you will get the added bonus of zinc, calcium magnesium, and vitamin C without popping another supplement. Natural is good!
Our bodies need water in one form or another, and yes some city water taste really bad. Another peeve of mine is all the chlorine that goes into our water supplies. If chlorine kills off algae and other organisms, what’s it doing to the inside of your body, especially your digestive tract?
Is The Fluoride In Tap Water Bad For Fibromyalgia?
Fluoride is another water additive that has some researchers rumbling that it may be linked to fibromyalgia syndrome, and if you do some research, and look up Jason A. Uttley you will find a paper he wrote that advocated eliminating tap water with fluoride for pure drinking water.
For many of us suffering from Fibromyalgia, working full time can be very difficult. Taking time off from work, or cutting back on your work schedule can really put a crimp in your pocket book, but you can find some pretty inexpensive water filters that can remove many toxins found in our tap water. Read the label carefully to see exactly what each filter removes, and replace it as recommended. I believe that we should all filter our water to remove the harmful chemicals, and to use chlorine filters in your showers as well. Two weeks after putting chlorine filters on our shower heads, my son’s dandruff disappeared, and the color in my hair lasts twice as long… That alone is worth the cost!
So, grab a big bottle of water from the store, and keep it handy, or fill up a pitcher of filtered water and pop it in the fridge, and remember to drink at least 6-8 glasses a day. You will feel much better, your will be flushing the toxins from your body naturally as nature intended. Sure you can have a soda, coffee, and tea, but everything in moderation. (Try one of my favorite drinks natural herb teas- hot or cold use filtered water)
You may discover that you feel really great, and eliminating caffeine drinks, and high sugar sodas help improve your fibromyalgia symptoms.
Probiotics For Fibromyalgia -IBS
I’ll throw it out there while I’m on the same tract of intestinal care, that if you are drinking a public water source with or without a filter you should be on a good Probiotic to help keep our sluggish fibromyalgia digestive tract in top working order. I know that you can get on supplement overload, but Probiotics should be top priority on your must take list. I watched Dr. Oz on Oprah a few years back, and everything he was saying really made a lot of sense, and I put my Mother, Aunts, myself, my Daughter on Probiotics and many of our family “genetic” bowel problem have decreased or been eliminated. I highly recommend you try it for yourself. I recommend Jarrow-dophilus EPS 60 ct because it does not require refrigeration, Puritan Pride has a very good selection, but you can also check with your local health food store for others.
