Think for a second about how dominoes fall. If they are lined up correctly do you need to knock over everyone or just the first one. Well, health and your ability to feel younger or older than your age follow the same concept. There are simple habits and choices that set off a complex set of reactions leading to our ability to feel young and be healthy. For example, the simple habit or choice for us is to drink a glass of water. This simple act of drinking water starts all the complex reactions or dominoes that fall into place after we drink that glass of water. Now, even though it only took us less than a couple minutes or even seconds to drink that water the health benefits do not end there, the benefits are actually just beginning. Our amazing body does all the complex work of getting that water to every tissue and cell, which there are trillions. Once they are in places trillions of reactions take place in the body to benefit the health of the cells, the tissues, and so on, all the way up to benefiting the entire persons. Over time allowing the person to feel younger, be healthier, have better skin, and all the other countless benefits that drinking good water provides. All from taking a couple seconds to drink a cup of water. Which then leads people to ask, how many glasses should I drink a day? The general answer is half your body weight in ounces, however this does not include outside temperature, activity level, if you are taking meds or drinking caffeine, and other things that can cause dehydration, which can impact your specific water requirements.

What about how your teeth and saliva break down the apple, allowing you to enjoy some flavor along the way. The your body, yes your body, takes the vitamins and nutrients from the apple, delivers them to the cells to activate key enzymatic reactions that set off trillion of processes in all the different cells and tissues to heal and repair your body. Mind bomb!
