What to do if you are experiencing excessive thirst

If you are experiencing excessive thirst and you can’t find any apparent reasons for it, we recommend that you first consider reducing your stress, anxiety or uncertainty levels. Often times people do not realize how stressed the are, nor do they take not of their emotions, because slowly they get used to it without noticing the deteriorating effects this has on the body. Give yourself a break and center yourself on what you feel. During this rest, take advantage of your time to plan a papaya diet to reduce toxemia levels in your body.

Another thing to consider is the possibility of diabetes or liver, kidney, or heart failure. In this case, the papaya diet will help you. Start the diet by taking two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil before breakfast, and drinking a boldo or horsetail tea to regulate liver or kidney functions.

It is very important that if you have diabetes, you aren’t being “cold” or distant with your emotions. In this case, you could be distancing yourself from what you truly want, which creates a certain sense of sadness or nostalgia, or loss, that slowly damages the liver and other functions, like the heart. In this case, we recommend paying more attention to what you feel and letting your true feelings flow. Don’t live for appearances, and start focusing on new changes that you may have been avoiding.

If, in addition to excessive thirst, you experience fatigue, blurry vision, or excessive urine elimination:

You need to get a lot more rest, and definitely follow a cleansing diet. These symptoms could be a sign of severe bodily imbalances, especially in the liver, due to the lack of attention you pay yourself.

Whether you are experiencing just excessive thirst for no apparent reason, or if you also have the other symptoms, like blurry vision, etc., we recommend, regardless, that you start a cleansing diet with papaya for one entire day. Afterwards, follow the diet by starting your day in the very same way, but avoid all sorts of junk food, fatty food, or refined products, especially flour and white sugar, like bread, cookies, pasta, etc. Cow’s milk should be substituted by milks that are easier on the stomach, like almond or oatmeal milk.

Exercise!

Exercise helps release stress, anxiety, and also creates endorphins, which will keep you happy and relieved. Choose any sort of activity that you like and start that very morning. Slowly you’ll get in better shape, which will help balance your organs and systems daily, to mid-morning.
