Your mind has learned to automatically perceive the meaning of something, even if the details are missing or wrong.  Studies have found that older, healthy people with more life experience are better and quicker at assessing an overall scene or picking out a face in the crowd than younger people who ten to get hung up on details.

But do you know just how important water actually is for you?  Your body is composed of approximate 65% water.  It is the main component of all the blood in your body, it is vital for oxygen transportation to all your working muscles and organs, and plays the leading role in regulating your body temperatures.  Water also acts as a lubricant for all your joints and as a cushion for your very important organs.

Well, how much water is enough water?  It’s hard to say exactly because daily water needs vary from person to person.  Researchers at the Mayo Clinic recommend eight to ten cups of water a day.  If this sounds like a lot of water, try to break it down to a more manageable idea: 

Drink one tall glass of water at every meal, plus one glass between every meal.  If you follow this plan, you will be drinking 5 glasses of water throughout the day, and with about 2 cups of water per glass, this equals approximately 10 cups of water.  Another plus in drinking water before, during, and after your meals is that it helps you feel satisfied while consuming less food and consequently, fewer calories.  Liquid allows your food to expand in while you eat, curbing your hunger.  It also helps you eat slowly, which is another important tactic for eating in moderation. 

It is also important to realize that many foods we eat contain water.  Fruits and vegetables obviously contain water, which gives them their juicy nature.  Other foods, such as cooked rice and grains, dairy, casseroles, and soups are all rich in water, which again, can help you feel satisfied while consuming fewer calories and fending off excess body weight.   

Remember to bring a bottle of water with you throughout the day and especially during your workout so you can easily execute your hydration plan, especially in hot weather.  If you exercise frequently or for a duration of longer than an hour, you need to take your hydration more seriously than a sedentary person and consume one medium-sized water bottle per hour of exercise in addition to your daily eight to ten cup requirement.

Always take your hydration seriously, as it is an important aspect of your health and fitness.  Staying hydrated is a healthy habit that both your body and your brain will thank you for.

These kids are awesome and the Fairfax-San Anselmo Children’s Center provides a great deal of support to the community, both in kid’s education and fun. 

Here is more information from the Fairfax-San Anselmo Children’s Center:

The Fairfax-San Anselmo Children’s Center provides quality early childhood education and care to 140 children, ages 3 month to 12 years, and family support services to their low- and moderate-income families.

The services we provide enable the parents to begin to achieve economic self-sufficiency through employment and training.  The Center has been providing quality child care services to the Marin community since 1973.  Over the years, hundreds of parents have received quality childcare that has allowed them to receive job training, obtain employment, create their own businesses and become productive citizens of this community.  Many of them have left welfare dependency to become wage earners and tax payers.

Providing quality child care and education services to young children also has long term benefits for the children as well as for their parents and our community.  Studies have demonstrated that children who receive quality care and education as infants, toddlers and preschoolers, such as provided by the Fairfax-San Anselmo Children’s Center, do better in their school careers, have less behavioral and social problems, get into less difficulty with the legal and justice systems and are more likely to hold jobs after school than similar children who have not had such services.

Celebrate your independence.  Celebrate your free thinking style, your individuality, your “out of the box” sort of ways.  You really are your own boss of your brain, body, and health.  And today, the Fourth of July, is an opportunity to celebrate you and all of the healthy and positive choices you make for yourself. 

In between barbeques and fireworks, take just a few minutes to brainstorm on how you can continue to think independently about your life performance.  Fight your television by reading a book.  Go against the grain by walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator.  Put your foot down to junk food and make yourself a power-packed lunch.  Go the extra mile and workout everyday.  Combat your old routines and let the explosive energy of Neuro1 lead the way.

When you commit to taking care of yourself, thinking independently, and striving for optimal life performance, you will always have something to celebrate. 

For an average, 150 lb adult, a leisurely swim can burn over 400 calories an hour!  One willing to get a little more serious and swim the freestyle at a moderate pace can burn over 600 calories an hour.  At that rate and and with no dietary changes, an average person can shed almost 2.5 lbs a month by swimming for one hour three times a week!  And the really great news is that swimming is fun, relaxing, and enjoyable.  You can do it with your friends, family, or by yourself, morning, day or night. 

Swimming can really work up an appetite and our Lean1 is the best way to satisfy your hunger while getting the incredibly well-balanced nutrition of lean proteins, powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, daily fiber, organic fruits and vegetables, and natural energizers.  So go ahead, take a splash this summer and then treat yourself to a deliciousness of a Lean1 shake.

I finished your book about a week ago. I’ve been debating whether I should write this or not but I think you should know how you impact people’s lives.

I have four small children and I find myself accepting that I will never reach all the personal dreams I have set for myself before I started having children. I’ve always wanted to finish my degree and never have had the time or money. After I read your book I felt inspired, inspired to tackle each obstacle in my life, like you have done throughout your life. I felt like I was on the field breaking fingers after I closed your book. I’ve picked up a second job to afford the tuition and I’m enrolling for online classes so I don’t have to be away from my babies. You helped me realize that my dreams are only out of reach if I decide not to reach for them! You never let anything get in your way and while climbing to the top you helped everyone around you be his or her best. That is a rare quality to have and you should be proud of what a giving and talented man you are. Your book is incredible and I have passed it on to my father to read. I’ve recommended it to everyone in the company. Thank you for inspiring me. You have made me a better person through your words!!!!”
