Detoxification and dehydration
Posted Wednesday, May 30, 2007
Getting a spa detox treatment? Be sure to drink plenty of water in order to combat detoxification's potentially dehydrating effect—a recommendation from Tina Rappaport of WaterWorks4u.
However, you should wait at least 30 minutes after drinking water to eat a meal, and wait an hour after eating before drinking more. “Drinking water with food dilutes the acidic digestive juices and is counter productive to nutrition,” Rappaport says. “This is especially important to remember after a spa treatment, so the body continues to function efficiently and effectively.”
