Many people are better of with a couple of glasses of lukewarm water with lemon and honey. Further detoxifies.

Also, Avoid refrigerated water at all times.

@ All: Thanks for all the comments! It’s great to hear the feedback, and I’m glad to hear the willingness to really explore some of the options out there (there’s so many choices we all face day-in and day-out)

@ BJ: That’s a great question, your diet definitely has a tremendous effect on your ability to concentrate. The best example I can think of off the top of my head is little kids on soda or candy – the sugar completely throws off their ability to concentrate their mind, and turns them restless in the high first, followed by the low crash. So one important thing is killing off all the added sugars and sugar substitutes, choosing to get your sugars from fresh fruit and other natural foods. When your blood sugar is balanced, your mind is balanced so the meal you eat before studying is really key.

A great strategy might be to play around with some of your more common meals and see what gives you the most long-term, stable energy. Nuts and seeds make a great long-term snack anytime!

How blessed you are to find the raw food lifestyle so young. I am about 2 1/2 months raw. I have seen so many benefits from it. I know many of my challenges in life are being reversed to a healthier more vibrant life. Continue on this road and when your older you will be far better off than so many.
Your site is very well written and enjoyable to read.

I hope thats the Gail i know and love thats responding to the posts. If not, well then thats ok too. John i’m on board with Gail. Great stuff, i enjoy the tips and am making an honest effort to follow some of your strategies. Do you have any advice on concentration/studying ability? I’m trying to cram for an exam right now, but my mind wanders. Does diet affect concentration ability?

John,
I am so enjoying your blog. It’s informative, well written, easy to read and beautiful.
And who wouldn’t love a tip so easy to follow and FREE; I’m going to start my days with 1-2 glasses of water before the coffee or shower. Sounds wonderful! Thank you so much. Hope to hear you rockin’ again soon! Don’t put down that guitar! Namaste, Gail

Thanks John,,,
I think it’s a great idea,,, and a headstart to getting the water we need for the day…I’ve read that most headaches are from dehydration…So maybe we would also be a “happier world” if everyone drank two big glasses of water upon rising… Also know that a teaspoon or two of lemon or lime juice added to that water can ramp up the detox effects…
Thanks again,,, ‘chelle in Lodi
