SUGGESTED WEIGHT GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH:

Excess body fat taxes our vital organs and is very unhealthy for our bodies. Insurances give less expensive rates to people who are weight height proportionate because they produce fewer expenses in claims for illness. This is a guideline recommended by an insurance company. For a man with a small frame, take 100 pounds for the first five feet then add 6 pounds for every inch over five feet. For a medium frame add 7 pounds for every inch over five feet, for a large frame add 8 pounds for every inch over five feet and for an extra large frame add 9 pounds for every inch over five feet. For a woman take away one pound for each frame size. Thus if you are a woman who is 5'8" and have a medium frame you would weigh 148 to be at optimal weight for your height. As muscle weighs more that fat, people who exercise are going to weigh more than people who do not exercise yet they will look more slender even though they weigh more.

Weighing an extra 10 pounds when it is toned muscle can be a very healthy situation. It is found that those who maintain optimal weights experience better overall health. Keeping the BMI range between 18 – 27% if you are a woman and between 10 - 18% if you are a man has been medically proven to be most healthy for your body as long lean muscles allow good blood flow to get to the vital organs. It may be difficult for a woman to conceive a child if she is below 20 or above 27% on the BMI chart.

A man with a waist of more than 40 inches and a woman with a waist of more than 35 inches are more prone to debilitating health issues and it could be an indication of central obesity, especially if you have a small or medium frame as all that extra weight around the middle taxes the vital organs and is a detriment to good health.

Curious about your own body mass index? Follow this formula to calculate your Body Mass Index.

Body Mass Index Formula

The imperial BMI formula accepts weight measurements in pounds & height measurements in either inches or feet.

The Imperial Formula:
1 foot = 12 inches
inches² = inches * inches
( lbs/inches²)

Table: Imperial BMI Formula

            ( weight in pounds * 703 )
BMI = ______________________
                height in inches²

EXAMPLE: A person weighing 145 would times their weight by 703 which would be 101,935 then divide that number by their inches squared, which in this case would be 67.5 squared and you get 22.37 as your BMI.
Metric Imperial BMI Formula

The metric BMI formula accepts weight measurements in kilograms & height measurements in either cm's or meters.
1 meter = 100cms
meters² = meters * meters ( kg/m²)

Table: Metric BMI Formula

              weight in kilograms
BMI = __________________
                 height in meters²

This is the guideline for the body mass index numbers:

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5 - 24.9
Overweight = 25 - 29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Solarized Drinking Water

Solarized drinking water is kitchen tap water that has been poured into a dark colored glass bottle, set on the counter overnight without a lid on it so that the chemicals in the public water system can dissipate out, then set in the sun during the day to be energized by the suns solar rays. This process makes the water taste more pleasant. Disease thrives in an acidic state. When we drink solar water and hydrate our bodies with an alkaline substance we create a situation where our inner environment becomes more alkaline. Many people are filing their stomachs full of beverages that have chemicals and acidic sweeteners in them which not only fill their bodies full of toxins; they also fill our landfills full of empty toxic containers that contaminate our soils.

Some containers leach toxins into food especially when exposed to high temperatures like when you leave a plastic bottle or a can of liquid in the car on a hot summer day or heat it up in a microwave. No one knows for certain the complete history of how our food and beverages have been cared for during the process of producing it and getting it to the grocery store shelf. We've probably all heard the story of the hundreds of American soldiers serving in Iraq who died of toxic chemical poisoning from drinking soda pop that had been left sitting in the hot sun. When certain containers get hot they leach toxic chemicals into the food or beverage we are going consume. This is why it is not good to heat things up in plastic containers or cook in a pan that emits metal. Personally I store the food in my pantry and fridge in glass jars, and I cook my food on the stove or in my oven using glassware or a surgical quality stainless steel type of pan.

Using a glass bottle to make your solar water in is very important as you don't want toxic chemicals leaking through into your drinking water. An empty wine or juice bottle makes a great container for the solar water. Green is the color of the heart chakra; it is interesting that wine is sold in green bottles. As the throat chakra is represented by the color blue, I recommend that you also find some cobalt blue bottles to drink from for the affect that the color blue has on your body. If I could find a non-lead dark colored bottle in each of the seven colors of the chakras I would drink solar water from all seven different colors for the added benefit of each colors vibration. As Masaru Emoto's book THE MESSAGE IN WATER demonstrated how words can affect water, putting positive words on the outside of your bottle may affect the quality of the water as well.

It is nice to have about 12 bottles soaking in the sun at a time so that you have plenty to drink and some to share. If using recycled juice or wine bottles, soak the bottles in a sink full of water over night to soak off the labels. With a scouring pad and some all natural goat milk soap scrub off the sticky glue that held the label on. Rinse the bottles out really good then stand them upside down in a dish drainer for the day. After the bottles have dried out, run your kitchen tap water until it comes out cold so that all the water that had been sitting in the pipes has run through the system and the water you are filling the bottles with is fresh. Fill the bottles a few inches down from the top then dry them off and set them on the counter over night to let the chemicals in the public water system dissipate out. The next morning set them in a windowsill that gets a fair amount of sun light throughout the day so that they can be energized by the suns solar rays. As solar rays pass through the clouds, you can still solarize your water even on a cloudy day. At the end of the day put a cork on them or fold up a paper napkin and stick it in the top of the bottle. Make sure the water level is low enough from the top so that the napkin isn't absorbing up the solar water. Drinking cold liquids can cause the oil in your intestinal tract to start to solidify and cause your digestive system to become sluggish. Room temperature water is easier for the body to process so I recommend that you place your solar water in the cupboard or on your counter top to drink from.

Drinking water helps to keep our muscle tissues hydrated so that our vital organs can function as they were intended to. Muscle cells are able to work longer without tiring when they have ample water. Water helps transport nutrients and oxygen into our cells. Brain cells that have plenty of drinking water are able to circulate fresh, oxygen-laden blood more readily which helps to keep us more alert. Water moisturizes the air in our lungs and helps detoxify our body by increasing the amount of blood supply to the muscle tissues which can then push out metabolic wastes as they contract and release. If metabolic wastes are not pushed out of the muscles the wastes can turn into hard calcium deposits, typically referred to as "knots" which then interfere with the muscle being able to contract and release, a ecessary process for the tissue to be able to receive nutrients from the blood supply. If this happens our muscles can atrophy because of lack of oxygen and nutrition.

Insufficient amounts of water in our gastrointestinal tract will slow the digestive process, resulting in constipation and other medical concerns. Water keeps your eyes and mouth moist and washes dirt and dust away from your eyes. Tears release toxins out of the body. When you feel like you need a good cry, you physically do and allowing yourself to cry will help you feel better physically and emotionally. Drinking water is like oiling your body's joints, keeping them flexible, and ensuring smooth motion. Your body's temperature is maintained through drinking water which regulates body temperature through sweat. Sweat cools the body while using up water so we must replenish the supply.

We may be able to live five weeks without eating food as long as we drink water however we can only live 5 days without water and suffer grave consequences when we go without water for too long. Our bodies, our brain and our earth are all at least 70 % water thus so ought to be our diet. It is good to consume at least one half of your body weight in ounces of solar water each day, so if you weigh 140 pounds it is good to drink at least 70 ounces of water each day. If you are athletic or in hot weather and sweating a lot, you may want to increase your water consumption to be one ounce of water per each pound of body weight.

Drinking water is vital to our existence and many people are dehydrated to some degree most of the time. If you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. Other possible signs of dehydration include hunger, constipation, headaches, fatigue and having dark yellow or orange urine or strong smelling urine. Taking more vitamins than your body needs can also turn your urine into a golden color which some term as "gold pee" because you are spending so much money to produce it. Asparagus makes your urine smell strong and eating beets can turn your urine and bowel movements into a reddish color so don't become too alarmed by the natural consequences of consuming certain foods.

Drinking a big glass of solar water whenever you feel hungry and 30 minutes before a meal or snack fills the stomach briefly and makes you feel fuller and stop eating sooner. The water in your system briefly increases metabolism as the body then has to work to process it. Breaking down body fat during weight loss produces wastes that must be eliminated through the kidneys. Drinking enough water is important to keep the kidneys functioning to remove these wastes. I recommend that you drink 16 ounces of solar water each morning with a teaspoon of pure sodium bicarbonate, more commonly known as baking soda, in it to help flush out your system and then wait one hour before eating so that the body has time to cleanse itself. It is very important that water taken in is in balance with electrolytes - body salt. Drinking too much water without taking in salt dilutes the salt in your blood tissues and presents the risk of hyponatremia, an electrolyte disturbance in which the sodium (salt) concentration in the serum is lower than normal which could cause heart attack and even death. We would die without salt. Using a good natural mineral sea salt that has a tint of red in it from all the trace minerals it contains is the healthiest for your body. I use RealSalt for all my salt needs whether as a table salt or for soaking my feet. Our bodies need good salt on a daily basis.

Toxins are all around us from the air we breathe, things we ingest, and the chemicals we put on our bodies for personal grooming that are absorbed through our skin, the largest organ of the body. Cleansing our body of the toxins we get exposed to on a daily basis helps our bodies to be able to function at more optimal levels. I highly recommend that everyone do a Strength From Within 21 day holistic raw food cleanse at least once a year. Most people lose 10 - 25 pounds and 9 - 16 inches on this program.
