10 Things That Happen When Your Body Is Lacking Water » Water makes up 60% of our bodies, 75% of our muscles, and 85% of our brains. Here's what happens when your body is lacking water...

Flavonoids!

Flavonoids have strong antioxidant activity, but during digestion they are metabolized into molecules that do not. Instead of acting as antioxidants themselves, they activate the body’s natural detoxification system, make changes in gene expression that upregulate antioxidant enzymes, inhibit cancer cell growth and proliferation, and reduce inflammation.

Really narrow windows of time, like eating only within an 8-hour window of time, are not always the best choice if you’re already thin, chronically fatigued, or pregnant, or have an eating disorder. But there is a form of fasthing that most of us can do and should do every day—the 12 hour window: 12 hours between your last meal of the day and your first meal of the next day.
