Welcome to the March Water Issue
 If you have visited Ki-Stone, you have heard the many merits of drinking water after a session. One of
the benefits of going for regular body work is that you are
promoting the release and removal of toxins from your
body. This happens by stimulation of your Lymphatic Drainage System. Stimulation is a very good thing,
as toxin buildup is a contributing factor to feeling sluggish, out of
sorts and if left unattended, toxins can eventually build up in our
system and manifest in more harmful ways.
Your Lymphatic System isn't like your
blood, it doesn't have a heart to keep it pumping. Regular
stimulation through exercise and body work is essential so that flow
is at it's best. How does water fit into this equation you ask? Well, humans are mostly comprised of water (75-85%), and that water contributes to
the flow of fluid systems that keep our bodies running. Lymph in particular is a
fluid that collects and removes bacteria, foreign matter and waste. Deprive your
body of the water it needs and you are messing with optimal
functioning of Lymphatic and other water reliant systems. Your body is an amazing machine. Just as you feed your car the oil it needs to optimize engine performance; feed your body the water it needs to optimize it's ability to perform.
For more information on how lymphatic drainage works within your body, please e-mail or ask me your questions the next time you visit Ki-Stone Wellness Inc. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Just another way Ki-Stone Wellness can assist you in caring optimally for your body!Water is not only important for our bodies use in toxin release and removal, did you know that it also provides a variety of other important functions for our bodies?These are some attributes of water that help you: - Aids in the extraction and distribution of water soluble vitamins from food like Vitamin B & C
- Is a lubricating agent for our organs, tissues and joints.

Quips & Quotes
|
"Everywhere water is a thing of beauty, gleaming in the dewdrops;
singing in the summer rain; shining in the ice-gems till the leaves all
seem to turn to living jewels; spreading a golden veil over the setting
sun; or a white gauze around the midnight moon."
- John Ballantine Gough, A Glass of Water
"Water is the driving force of all nature"
- Leonardo DaVinci
"You'll never miss the water until the well has run dry."
- Irish Proverb
"If gardeners will forget a little the phrase,
"watering the plants" and think of watering
as a matter of "watering the earth" under the plants, keeping up its
moisture content
and gauging its need, the garden will get on very well."
- Henry Beston, Herbs & the Earth
