Too much coffee depletes our body of fluids and minerals.
Having a cup of coffee with some friends is a wonderful experience.
Many times we gather in front of a bar, for instance after Tai Chi classes or at the end of a U3A meeting while enjoying "un con leche" or "un cortado".
What I find amazing is that most of my retired friends can drink several cups of coffee without drinking water in between.
As a Schuessler friend I do know that it is a clear sign of a very serious deficiency of Natrium Chloratum number 8 when we do not feel thirsty anymore after a few cups of coffee.
When I order "un cortado" I will also order "un agua sin gaz". It allows me to replenish my body with the fluid I will lose because of the coffee I drink. In Italy I would not have to do that because every waiter will bring me a glas of water whenever I order un cappuchino. But this custom does not exist on the Costa Blanca.
Never fizzy drinks nor "sports" drinks for me.
Years ago I was competing for the 5th time in a competition whereby I had to cover 4 km in my kayak, 40 km on my bicycle and 10 km running as fast as I could. This time I wanted to test something. Instead of putting pure water in the bottle attached to my bike, I filled it with a sports drink. I will not give you the name of the drink because it was Isostar. I expected to perform better while cycling when drinking a "sports" drink. The result was that I had to stop, get of my bike and well, do something that was not nice at all to look at. Result? I lost some precious minutes and...I never drank the fizzy thing again.
You know that fizzy drinks are a primary source of fructose which clearly deteriorates your health don't you? Or do you believe what the manufacturers say in their advertising?
Free spring water is best.
Nowadays I still train many hours per week, even in summertime. Training means sweating and sweating means I am losing fluids and minerals.
How do I take care of myself?
I drink free natural spring water.
Once a week I drive to the spring in Alcalalí (on the road to Pedreguer) or to the other spring called "Font del Gel" in Campell. Natural spring water from the mountains is filtered naturally by Mother Earth. It is a treat to drink that gracious gift of nature.
In addition to that I take what Schuessler friends know as the Power Mix, i.e.
Ferrum phosphoricum nr 3, between 10 and 20 tablets per day
Kalium phosphoricum nr 5, between 1o and 20 tablets per day
Natrium chloratum nr 8, between 10 and 20 tablets per day
I combine the Power Mix with capsuls of Ortho number 5 containing Lecithin and vitamine B.
I'd like to know how many cups of coffee you drink and what you are doing to keep in optima forma?
Kindest regards from Bruno
