Your daily water intake is one of the simplest and most powerful things you can do for your health, and it is the foundation of my Body Restore daily maintenance plan.
This tutorial was created so that you can have the tools and information you need to maintain all the hard work of all the cleanses you have done.
Getting your health where you want it to be takes work!
In this tutorial I go over daily water intake, fasting techniques to integrate into the rest of the year when you are not cleansing. As well as 3 basic easy steps to understand to have a healthy full life of energy and vitality. See the water intake chart below that is referred to in the tutorial.

Daily Maintenance, Water and Fasting Protocol
Your body needs the proper amount of water a day in order to be able to function and do its job well. The kidneys are especially responsible for regulating your water retention.
Here is the chart referred to in the protocol to see how much water you individually need for your body.
How Much Water Do You Need?
Everyone is different, and how much water you need depends on your body size, how active you are, the weather, and your health. Use the chart above as your guide. You will need more when you exercise, sweat, are sick, or are nursing. A good sign you are well hydrated is pale yellow urine.
Signs You Need More Water
- Dark yellow urine or not going very often
- Headaches and feeling tired in the afternoon
- Dry skin, dry lips or a dry mouth
- Constipation
- Feeling hungry or craving sugar when you are really thirsty
- Dizziness when you stand up
Many of us walk around a little dehydrated all the time without realizing it. Once you start drinking enough water, you may be surprised how much better you feel, from your energy to your skin to your digestion. Give it two weeks of steady daily water intake and see what changes for you.
Tips to Drink More Water Every Day
- Start your morning with a big glass of water, with lemon if you like.
- Keep a water bottle with you all day and refill it. A glass or stainless steel bottle is best.
- Set reminders on your phone until it becomes a habit.
- Eat water-rich foods like cucumbers, celery, watermelon and oranges.
- Add a pinch of good sea salt or trace minerals to help your body absorb and use the water.
A Note on Fasting
Fasting can be a wonderful way to give your digestive system a rest between cleanses, and I go over the techniques I use in the tutorial. Fasting is not right for everyone, though. Please talk with your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, have diabetes or low blood sugar, take medications, are underweight, or have a history of an eating disorder. Children should not fast. Always stay well hydrated, and stop if you feel dizzy, faint or unwell.
Keep Up the Good Work
The daily maintenance plan helps you keep all the progress you made with your cleanses. Pair it with my kidney cleanse, since your kidneys depend on good hydration, and read what is alkaline for simple food swaps.
