Water

Water is a basic ingredient that is essential to life in any form. It makes up around two-thirds of the human body and is constantly being lost in the form of sweat, water vapour, urine and faeces. We need to drink 1–2 litre water every day.

Have you ever sat with the fluid complexity of your thoughts and feelings, witnessing each one and accepting each one as it arises, and then watching it as it dissolves into the next moment and the next?

My heart was broken. I was in great distress. It was late spring, the most beautiful time of the year, and I had been jolted violently out of my blissful reverie.

Eating unhealthily – too much animal fat, salt, sugar and artificial additives – can cause irreparable damage to our bodies, especially to the cardiovascular system and the kidneys. Eating healthily can increase vitality, immunity and life expectancy.
