Welcome 2019

WELCOME to 2019
Hi everyone in this New Year my goal is to connect with you and to provide valuable content to help you live your Best Life. A bit about me is: I am a wife and mother to two wonderful humans. My oldest is attending his first year in college and my youngest is a junior in high school and looking at colleges. For the last 20 plus years my husband and I have been running www.Functionetiks.comwhich is a posture correction and pain relief business utilizing the Egoscue method that I helped develop with my Father Pete Egoscue. I split my time between seeing clients in person at their house,or place of business. Or by seeing clients via FaceTime which allows me to see clients from anywhere in the world. In my work I am constantly researching health and wellness of all types. I would like to put everything I learn and think will be of value in one spot which is going to be this blog. Today's topic is going to be 
HYDRATION

Hydration is the most important thing we can do for our bodies. All of our systems require water to function. If we don't have enough water in our body, our body will give what it does have to our brain and heart and organs that are keeping us alive. In order to get water to our muscles, tendons, joints, skin etc. we need to hydrate properly which like Dr.  Dana Cohen writes is not 8 glasses a day. in this book Dr. Cohen tells us about a fourth state of water called gel water. It is this gel water that hydrates us at a cellular level better than plain water. 

Gel Water
Basically put any plant in your water and it will be better absorbed. For optimal hydration Dr. Cohen recommends Chia Seed Water.
Chia Water Recipe: 2 cups of purified water, 2 TBS. Chia seeds, Juice of 1 lemon, or other fruit, 1 pinch of pure pink Himalayan sea salt.

This week I went to lunch in Rancho Santa Fe at an adorable cafe named Thyme. Thyme specializes in fresh salads, soups, and other light fare. The thing that got me most excited was their bakery. They have a beautiful bakers rack filled with gorgeous homemade delights just like your Grandma would make. The bakers rack was filled with rustic pies, and cakes. One cake that caught my eye was an Orange Bundt Cake. I have an orange tree so I was inspired to come home and try to make it. I went to the internet in search of a recipe, and discovered one from all recipes.com that I altered a bit. Here it is.
