Finally got the driveway done. It changes the whole look of the place.

I thought it might help me to find out what’s so bad about not drinking enough water. So here’s what I found … Drinking too little water can cause constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, nose bleeds, repeated urinary tract infections, dry and unproductive coughs, constant sneezing, sinus pressure and headaches.
Water is required by every cell in the body as nourishment and to remove wastes. When water becomes scarce, the body tries to limit the amount it loses through breathing, mucous production, urination, perspiration and bowel movements.
Several cups of water are lost daily through breathing because the lungs require humid air to do their work. The body has to moisturize the air before it reaches the lungs and does so through the mucous membranes lining the nasal passages and the bronchi. As available fluid decreases, the mucous lining becomes drier. This in turn irritates the lungs, causing them to become more reactive to dust, mold particles, cigarette smoke and other irritants, and less resistant to viruses and bacteria. The result: dry cough and bronchitis.
The mucous membranes of our lungs and gut are an important component of our resistance to disease. They provide a barrier to bacteria, viruses and pollutants when intact. A lack of water in the body makes the mucous less viscous and can cause constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and a slowed movement of the bowels contents. These problems increase ones risk of other long term disease including hemorrhoids and colon cancer. The mucous lining in the sinus passages is also vital as a defense against disease. When it becomes drier, sinusitis, nose bleeds and allergic symptoms worsen.
When fluid volume is diminished, the ability of the body to remove toxins through urination is also diminished. Water soluble toxins cannot be easily removed through the bowels, especially when a lack of water also causes constipation. These toxins then must be eliminated in other ways such as through the skin. The increase in body toxin levels can cause headaches and fatigue. The attempt by the body to remove excess levels of unwanted chemicals through the skin can cause acne and will aggravate eczema.
Ok so now I’m convinced – I’m now drinking 2 litres of water a day, well, at least since yesterday anyway.

I spoke at a conference to an audience of about
300 people for about 40 minutes, and kept my nerves under control.
I think it went well from the positive comments afterwards.
The secret is definitely about being well prepared and rehearsed,
and you have to know what you’re talking about.
I was told that one of the most important things is to work on
your first few minutes, starting with something that will get
people’s attention – until you are really confident there – and
then the rest will just follow. It worked for me, and in the end I really enjoyed it.
