Before you spend money on expensive or dangerous medicines and doctor visits to address your health concerns, ask yourself this question: “Am I drinking enough water?” Most likely, the answer is no. Our body throws so many different symptoms at us to let us know we’re dehydrated: muscles cramps, headaches, dry skin, fatigue, constipation—the list goes on and on. And too often we just ignore our body’s cries for water and jump straight to relying on drugs and medicines to relieve these symptoms instead of first reaching for a glass of water.
If you’re dehydrated, the two biggest issues to address are: “How much water am I drinking?” and “What am I drinking?” When you drink water, you’re helping to dilute the toxins in your body and flush them out, so ideally, you should aim to drink about 1 liter of water per 50 pounds of body weight. And if you exercise or live in a warm climate where you sweat excessively, you should add on an extra 16-32 fluid oz. to accommodate for water loss. For the average adult, this means that drinking about 3 liters of water every day should be your goal. As for what to drink, the answer is simply plain water. Other common beverages like coffee, juices, sodas, and alcohol can actually dehydrate the body further and cause you to feel sluggish and low on energy. When it comes to hydration, it’s best to keep it simple and just stick with water to quench your thirst.
You’d be surprised by how many health issues can be improved by first drinking more water. If you’re feeling drained of energy, drink more water. If you’re suffering from digestion issues, drink more water. If you’re struggling to lose weight, drink more water. Fundamentally, all life starts and stops at the cellular level and your cells need water to function properly. When you’re dehydrated, you’re not living well so don’t wait – hydrate!

Clean eating can be described as eating whole foods with minimal processing, and avoiding unrecognizable (chemical) ingredients. The Mediterranean diet is the basis for many clean eating programs, simply because it’s one of the healthiest in the world. For over 50 years, scientists have studied the eating patterns of people native to the Mediterranean region and found that it’s associated with long, healthy lives with minimal chronic disease. The Mediterranean diet is rich in vegetables, fruits, plant proteins (legumes and lentils), whole grains, olive oil, nuts, seeds, fish, and plenty of herbs and spices. The Mediterranean diet isn’t really a diet; it’s a way of life that maintains good health.
While there’s no replacement for healthy eating, a recent large-scale study revealed the benefits of using meal replacement for weight loss. They found that participants with the most frequent consumption of meal replacements had nearly double the weight loss of those who consumed the least. That’s why we suggest LifeCORE to our clients who are embarking on the clean eating journey – it reinforces the Mediterranean dietary pattern and helps you achieve proper daily nutrition.

Kava Forte respects the traditional wisdom behind centuries of Kava use. To ensure optimum efficacy, it is made using only noble cultivars of Kava, through a 100% water extraction process. The noble cultivars are the prized varieties of the Kava plant that have been cultivated by traditional producers of Kava for centuries. Science has shown that they are chemically different to other varieties of Kava. The noble cultivars were traditionally extracted in water, which means that this time-honored technique maintains the full range of important compounds, including the vitally important kavalactones. It’s these unique plant chemicals that are regarded as the key to Kava’s effect on the structure and function of the body.*
