March 15 in the evening when I can't sleep because I feel like I'm having an inflammation in my back hips. I disregarded it like a normal thing or maybe I was too tired doing the chores. It was March 17 that it was so painful to urinate and in fact I stayed too long in the cr just to ease the pain and from this experience I can say I have UTI. So I didn't went to the doctor yet because I used to have to UTI and I treat it using water therapy. I do water therapy but I can forget it because I was so busy until March 20 I noticed that my urine is something red and I knew it was blood. So I consulted a doctor and undergo urinalysis and yes it was UTI +3. The doctor prescribed me antibiotics twice a day for 7 days. And now I was feeling better.
From March 20 until today I always have water therapy. So here! Meet my very friendly tumbler. It says there 7 am rise and shine so it reminds me to drink water when I woke up. By 9 am it says let's get started and it reminds me to drink water before starting doing my chores. Then it was 11 am and it says remember your goal and it reminds me to drink water because my goal is to cleanse myself and stay hydrated. Then it was 1pm and it says keep it up and it suggests me to keep pushing situations but never forget to drink the water. Then it's 3pm it says half way there because it's in the middle of the tumbler. Then 5pm it says you can do this and it keeps me reminding that I can make it through. Then 7pm it says don't quit now! It was very challenging because I almost forget drinking it because it is already evening and there's a lot of things to do. And lastly it was 9pm and it says all in a days work that means I was able to accompany my water throughout the day. And the truth is it still have a little water for the night.
Having water alone could be better but having flavor is the best. So I decided to put slices of cucumber and chunks of apple in it. I washed it very well and slice the cucumber into thin slices and put it in the tumbler. As well as the apple I slice it into chunks and slide it in. I put 2 calamansi juice in it to have a sour twist and vitamin c! Fill in the mineral water and I just waited 15 minutes for them to soak and started the challenge.
I did this for almost 2 weeks now and I'm feeling better. The blood in my urine disappear and my hip pain disappears too. I can't avoid eating fried foods or processed foods so I have always water therapy every day. It may sound troublesome and expensive but it's better to be healthy naturally than treated chemically as the saying goes prevention is better than cured.
That's a for today givers I hope you are staying healthy every day! See you in my next blog!
