An interesting anecdote my friend’s mom gave me one day decades ago while we were all hanging out at dinner. She is a doctor of eastern medicine as my friend and his family came over from China.
“ when you have a pail full of water and leave the pail to rest, what happens?” she asked.
“Gets all nasty with bugs and stuff starts growing in it .” I replied
“Well our body is almost 80 percent water, what do you think happens when you don’t move around that water enough?”
This piece of advice has stuck with me ever since!
