Key Number Four: High-Water Living


We are 70 percent water. The only way for your body to replenish it’s natural water level is by you consuming a high-water diet. This means eating fruit and vegetables, rather than processed and prepackaged foods.

The wonderful thing is that when you do this your weight will move to its optimum level, without you ever having to go hungry. You can eat as much fruit and vegetables as you want, especially foods like beetroot, carrots, broccoli, spinach and cabbage. (One person said it didn’t work...he was eating twenty bananas a day! Everything is balance.) High water content foods means our cells get detoxify. Water foods are the best flushing system. Your body will love you for it.

Exercise:

Write down everything you’ve eaten in the past 24 hours


Look at your list of foods. How many of your choices were high water content foods? How many were processed or prepackaged? How many had a used-by date that extended beyond your photocopier toner!

What you eat will play a significant role in determining how you feel. If your list included mostly pre-prepared foods then you probably feel sluggish and lacking in the energy to exercise. You’re keeping your body trapped in inertia.
