You Are Probably Thirsty-Not Hungry!

Our thirst mechanism sometimes fools us. We think we are hungry, when all we need is water---Calorie free water! Instead of a snack between meals, drink some water and see if that doesn't satisfy instead. Here is some information I thought you might enjoy reading:

"By not drinking enough water you slow down fat loss. Beyond the weight loss benefits, it's a vital health concern to take in enough water even if you are not thirsty (thirst can be an unreliable signal during the early stages of dehydration).

The fatigue, simple headaches, lack of concentration and dizziness you feel at the end of a workday can result simply from not drinking enough water," explains Liz Applegate Ph.D., nutritional science lecturer at the University of California, Davis, and the nutritional columnist for Runner's World magazine." These are symptoms that too many of us have come to expect---and worse, to accept! Don't!

In addition, the best way to rid the body of excess retained water is to drink more water, says dietitian Kathy Stone, R.D., author of Snack Attack." When an individual senses he is retaining fluid, then cuts back on his water intake to compensate, the body just responds by retaining more fluid.---Excerpt from-The Power of 5 by Harold Bloomfield, M.D., & Robert K. Cooper, Ph.D

It's a great book. Pick one up on Amazon. If you'd like to know more, call me for information on Living Water. It is the best, by far, water to drink including water from all the other ionizers on the market, and I'll explain why when you call. The information is important to you health and well-being.

Have a great day,

Clean and Sanitize with Water!

I have talked about the benefits of alkaline, antioxidant water for health, however, the benefits of electrolized water just don't stop there. We have the ability to make strong alkaline water amd strong acidic water to clean our homes safely without chemicals, clean our fruits and vegetables removing herbicides and pesticides-which is very important, and rinse meat and fish killing harmful bacteria.

There was an article recently in the LA Times that can be viewed at http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-fi-magicwater23-2009feb23,0,4203536.story?page=2&track=rss . Only a few ionizers make this level of pH water and only uses just table salt to do so just as is discussed in the article. Some machines require that you continually purchase a solution from the company that contains sodium chloride and sodium hypochloride (bleach) with which to make the very low and very high pH water.

Not so with Living Water! It uses plain salt, and, yet, it makes these wonderful levels of pH water to do so many things around your home, as well as, to use on cuts, minor burns, insect bites, and abrasions. It makes this unit very economical to use and very convenient since most everyone always has salt in the home.

Please call me for further information as to how you can be eco-friendly and disinfect effectively at the same time using this cutting edge technology in your home or business.

"Electrolyzed water cleans, degreases -- and treats athlete's foot. It is the solution for replacing toxic chemicals in your home and office."

Drink Water for Better Skin in the Winter

Hi,

Hope you are having great first day of 2009!. There was a very good little article in First Magazine, January 5th issue, this week about water.

On page 18 you can find the article, Slim Face:

Dehydration may not be top of mind in the winter, but heated indoor air can sap bodily fluids. "Reduced water content in the body creates a rise in sodium, prompting fluid retention that makes the face look puffy."

Fast Fix: Drink two glasses of water upon awakening. This dilutes sodium and replenishes fliuds so puffiness subsides throughout the day, notes Dr. Pescatore...

Pick up the magazine to read the full article. Water is vital for life and should never be neglected in our daily routine. And, Living water is restructured for optimum hydration, an anti-oxidant to fight free radicals, and alkaline to help the body be more balanced!

Visit my website to get full details. You'll find it so interesting for your health and wellness. Call me for more information.

Have a great day,
Stephen

What Are You Using on Your Skin?

Your skin is the largest organ of the body. It absorbs what is put on to it, and it releases toxins. Even the ancients were aware of this transdermal process.

Because of this, we have to be very careful what personal care products we and our precious children and grandchildren use. Studies cited in the Journal of the American College of Toxicology warn that some of the substances found in skin care products are Sodium Lauryl Sulphates, known skin irritants shown to have degenerative effects on cell membranes; methyl-, propyl-, and butyl-parabens which are toxic and allergenic; and propylene glycol, an industrial anti-freeze used for moisture retention. Many of these and others are petroleum based: By-products of the oil industry!

You have to get to the point of doing the same thing with your personal care products that you do with your foods: If you can't pronounce it, if you don't absolutely know what it is or where it comes from-the source, don't use it! Remember: What is being put on the skin, gets absorbed into the body.

So when you are shopping, read the labels on your skin-care products, as well as, on your food products. You will be greatly surprised at what they contain.

More on this next time...

In health,

Where Does All the Plastic Go?

"Except for a small amount that's been incinerated—and it's a very small amount---every bit of plastic ever made still exists" according to the 2007 article “Plastic Ocean-Our oceans are turning into plastic…Are we?,” by Susan Casey in Best Life magazine.

Casey reveals that on August 3, 1997, 800 miles north of the beautiful, picturesque islands of Hawaii, Captain Charles Moore along with the crew of Alguita, discovered "a vast swath of the Pacific, twice the size of Texas, …full of a plastic stew that is entering the food chain." And, it is growing!

Scientists refer to this discovery and its dire implications for human and planetary health, as the "Eastern Garbage Patch." All over the world, plastic is not only blighting the scenery, it is polluting land and sea and entering the food chain with alarming statistics. All sea creatures are endangered from whales to zoo plankton. And, whatever affects marine animals, affects humans. Casey states that the "more invisible and ubiquitous the pollution, the more likely it will end up inside us...that we're ingesting plastic toxins constantly, …slight doses can severely disrupt gene activity."

One of the biggest contributors to the problem is plastic water bottles that can take up to 1,000 years to bio-degrade. Nine out of ten water bottles end up as refuse –at a rate of 60 million per day in America alone or 22 billion a year and rising according to the Waste Management World 2006 article “Down the Drain” by Pat Franklin. Many scientists are encouraging that we be more eco-friendly, recycle, and, most importantly, become less reliant on convenience in order to protect the earth for future generations.

Men Need Water, Too-Part 3

Part Three:

To stay hydrated, drink water. Ideally, however, your water should be alkaline and micro-clustered. You’ll hydrate more effectively if it is. Alkaline, micro-clustered water will reduce the amount of accumulated acidity in your muscles improving your work-out, increasing stamina and performance, and it will greatly lessen recovery time and discomfort after any strenuous activity.

Dr. Susan Lark, MD, in her book, The Chemistry of Success: Secrets of Peak Performance, says this about alkaline water, health, and performance: "The benefits of alkaline water through electrolysis far exceed just its ability to gently raise the pH of the cells and tissues of the body and to neutralize acids. Because the alkaline water has gained a significant number of free electrons through the electrolysis process, it is able to donate these electrons to active oxygen free radicals in the body, thereby becoming a super antioxidant. By donating its excess free electrons, alkaline water is able to block the oxidation of normal tissue by free oxygen radicals."

She goes on to explain micro-clustering of alkaline water and reducing the size of the molecules clusters of tap water by about 50%: "This allows ionized alkaline water to be much more readily absorbed by the body, thereby increasing the water's hydrating ability and its ability to carry its negative ions and alkalizing effect to all cells and tissues of the body... If you are overly acidic, an alkaline water device can provide a safe, gentle, and effective way of restoring the pH balance of all the cells in your body as well as providing excess free electrons to act as super antioxidants."

Everyone needs to drink plenty of healthy water for good health and longevity. With all the controversary over bottled water and their containers, experts say the possible health risks are enough to warrant reconsidering what you are drinking and to choose an alternative.

The best alternative, according to Dr. Lark and other experts, is to make purified, alkaline, micro-clustered/hexagonal, super anti-oxidant water-many times more beneficial than Vitamin C and Green Tea-right from your own tap, and it is very easy to do. Fill a glass or stainless steel bottle and carry it with you to stay well hydrated throughout the day. Don't take chances with your most precious commodity; your health. And, at the same time, by eliminating plastic bottles on a daily basis, you'll help the environment, too.

To find out about an "alkaline water device" that is superior in performance that I and my wife have benefited very much from and have enjoyed using for over a year now, contact me. I'll be happy to tell you about it. We have an amazing testimony we'd love to share with you.

Have a great day & stay hydrated,

Men Need Water, Too-Part 2

Part two: Getting back to men, chemicals, and the need for water....

It has been discovered that the chemicals BPA and phthalates found in the plastic water bottles, just doesn’t affect women. It, also, affects men. In a 2006 review of 700 studies by NIEHS, it was found that "rodents exposed... had higher rates of... reduced sperm counts, and neurological disorders."

In the Vogue Magazine article of August-2007, An Inconvenient Truth; The Link Between Infertility & the Environment, it stated that BPA "has been shown in animal studies to cause prostate cancer and malformed genitals."

We have so many chemicals in our environment that affect our health and well-being and that of our family. We are bombarded with chemicals in the air we breathe, in and on the foods we eat, and in the water we drink. The chemicals in the environment can cause us to be overly acidic, too. We have a population that is generally overly acidic. To contribute to this is stressful lifestyle we lead, the foods we eat, and the beverages we drink, among other things.

Beverages such as sodas, sports drinks, and energy drinks are acidic, as well as, even some of the bottled waters. The plastics in which they are contained leach chemicals since water is a solvent.

So, in view of all this, what can everyone-men, women, and children-drink to stay both hydrated and healthy during times of physical activity and stress without causing them more health challenges? Find out more tomorrow-

This is important, Guys. We live in a chemical environment that is taking a toll on our health. So bookmark this blog. Find out how important & necessary good, pure water is that's, also, alkaline, super hydrating, and anti-oxidant-many times more anti-oxidant than vitamin C or Green Tea-for our health, well-being, and longevity. Any baby boomer out there will attest to the importance of living active, productive lives for as long as we possibly can. Right?

Well, water is a vital part of that process. After all we are over 70% water. If we aren't consuming enough water, then God must have made a mistake. Because that's what we should be drinking. He didn't make us 70% coffee, soda, or whatever else men drink to quench their thirst-He made WATER!.

Till next time...Take care & God bless,
Stephen
