Did you know!??

I have a product I want to sell you, and I call it AirFlow 3000. It's a ventilation system that pumps air into your house. AirFlow 3000 air comes in an elegantly packaged delivery system that will lend you and your family style and sophistication. And it’s available for just $5 per day, per person! Interested?

Well, just to be clear: AirFlow 3000 is 100 percent identical to the air outside. It contains all the same pollutants and funky odors, and it doesn't do anything special for your health. You’re really just paying for the packaging, because you’re already breathing the exact same air for free. Still interested?

 

Of course you aren't. But the AirFlow 3000 pitch is essentially the same pitch water bottlers are making right now. The difference is they're not so straightforward about their wares. They're not selling water, they're selling "mineral" and "spring" water. And we're buying. The average American chugs nearly 30 gallons of bottled water a year, making it the second-most consumed commercial beverage in the United States. (Sadly, soda is the first.) But, as it turns out, bottled water is no more pure than the federally regulated—and virtually free—H2O that comes out of the tap.

Below, I shed some light on what’s really going on behind the fancy names and pristine labels of your favorite bottled water brands. It's time to rethink your relationship with water.

Bottled-Water Secret #1: It doesn’t taste any better

In a 2010 study published in the Journal of Sensory Studies, researchers asked people to rate the taste of six bottled mineral waters and six types of tap water. They found that, overall, bottled water didn’t perform any better than the stuff from the tap. The reason: It’s mineral concentration, not "water purity," that influences flavor. The study’s participants preferred water with medium mineralization, which they described as “tasteless” and “cooler,” but whether it came from a bottle or the tap made little difference. What is clear: By filling your belly, drinking water before meals can help you lose a ton of weight. In fact, it's one of the 20 Habits Skinny People Live By.

Bottled-Water Secret #2: It’s not necessarily pure

 The Natural Resources Defense Council recently tested 1,000 bottles of water and discovered that about 22 percent of the brands in the study contained chemical contaminants at levels above state health limits. And in 2011, California State University researchers tested six brands of bottled water and found that while none contained more than the legal level of contaminates, all six exceeded California public health goals for arsenic. There’s also substantial research showing that when certain plastic bottles are heated at high temperatures, chemicals from the plastic can leach into a container’s contents (a good reason not to store cases of water in the garage this summer). The takeaway: Don’t let label jargon like “pure” and “natural” fool you. Unlike bottled water, tap water is subject to strict federal, state, and local guidelines, making it a safer beverage choice.

Bottled-Water Secret #3: It may be glorified tap water

Exotic names and labels conjure up images of tropical waterfalls and mountaintop springs, but in reality, roughly 25 percent of all bottled water comes from municipal water sources. Coca-Cola’s Dasani, for example, is nothing but purified tap water with added minerals. And Pepsi’s Aquafina? Another bottle of city water. I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to be drinking tap water anyway, I’d rather save some cash and drink the free version.

Bottled-Water Secret #4: It’s hurting our planet

Most water bottles are made of a plastic called polyethylene terepthalate, or PET. There are two problems with PET bottles. Problem 1: They take a boatload of crude oil to produce. University of Louisville researchers estimate that around 17 million barrels of oil are used each year to produce PET water bottles—a major reason why bottled water costs roughly four times as much as gasoline. Problem 2: We’re chucking our water bottles in the trash, instead of the recycling bin. According to the Container Recycling Institute, nearly 90 percent of the 30 billion PET water bottles we buy annually end up in landfills—a huge problem when you consider that PET bottles take from 400 to 1,000 years to decompose. The bottom line: We should all take a cue from environmentally conscious activists like the folks at the University of Vermont—which recently banned bottled-water sales on campus—and opt for the tap whenever possible.

Learn the truth about What's in your Soda? Some call it Pop!

WARNING: 'ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS' disrupt the body's ability to assess calories in food, which causes people to over eat.

Tap vs. Bottled Water

Most of us believe bottled water is more regulated and safer than tap water. Is it really ? Average cost of bottled water is $1.50/a bottle... expensive too ! There is about 200 known contaminant in our tap water on top of chroline and fluoride. Not safe to drink either. My choice of drinking water is homemade living water, the best water we can find other than natural glacier water. Everyone knows homemade food is the best because you know what's in it. Isn't it the same for our drinking water as well ?

WHEN TO DRINK MORE WATER ? Special times to drink it. Did you?

Drinking water at the correct time
maximizes its effectiveness on the Human body :

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

Acid and Alkaline – Understanding pH Balance

   Balance is an important concept. When it comes to the body, balance is what helps our bodies function properly. For example, we know that when the body works hard it must also get sufficient rest. When the body inhales, it must also exhale. When the body consumes calories, it needs to burn them as well. And we know that since the body is able to produce toxins, it must also be capable of eliminating them.

The body is an amazing creation. An assortment of vitamins, minerals, sugars, amino acids, fatty acids and various trace elements are responsible for helping it grow and function properly. The reason for this is simple: Each of these components was designed with a special purpose. Working alone or in conjunction with other components, the body is able to wake up and do all the daily activities we take for granted.

What does all this have to do with understanding pH balance? Well, even though the body is made up of an assortment of components, every single one can be categorized as either a basic substance (also known as alkaline) or an acid substance. Having equal amounts of acids and alkalines will define what is meant by the term, pH balance.

Acids and alkaline substances are interesting in that their characteristics oppose each other and complement each other, often at the same time. A healthy body must have a balance of acids and alkalines. Getting the proper balance isn’t that difficult for those who eat a nutritionally-balanced diet. Unfortunately, most people don’t do this. When pH levels inside the body are not in balance, a number of health issues can result.

Examples of your body Acidifying: 

When you workout or exercise you body's muscles release lactic acid = soreness.

Stress causes the body to release free-radicals = negative for the body. 

When you eat your stomach is creating hydrochloric acid = to break down your food. 

Our bodies cannot get away from acid! But we can alkalize our body for better health and vitality! 

ALKALIZE your body! 

8 Dangers of Diet Soda

8 Dangers of Diet Soda

You’ve probably noticed I mention diet soda quite often as something you need to eliminate from your diet as quickly as you can. It is a huge peeve of mine (along with a few others, like agave). I know many people enjoy diet soda and feel it is a “freebie” because it contains zero calories. What many people fail to realize is diet soda can be very detrimental to their health. It is also not beautifying at all- in fact it will diminish your beauty.  ~ Health Freedoms

Why is diet soda unhealthy? Let me count the ways!

1. Neurotoxic

While artificial sweeteners may be a zero calorie alternative to sugar, they are in no way healthier. Diet sodas may use a variety of artificial sweeteners in place of sugar, including aspartame, which acts as a neurotoxin.

Also known as NutraSweet, aspartame originally received FDA approval for use in carbonated beverages in1983, and it still remains the most commonly used sweetener in diet soda. Annually, reactions to aspartame result for a majority of the adverse reaction reports made to the food and drug administration.

Made from L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanyl-methyl-ester, aspartame is 200 times as sweet as sugar and contains negligible calories. Once in the human body, aspartame breaks down into phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. Methanol is a wood alcohol poison that, when heated above 86 degrees Fahrenheit (the human body temperature is 98.6 degrees), converts to formaldehyde. Aspartame is also an excitotoxin that builds up in the brain, and can excite brain neurons to the point of cell death.

2: Causes Headaches and Other Symptoms

Another artificial sweetener commonly used in diet sodas, sucralose, may cause a host of health problems including headaches.

Made from a modified sugar molecule, sucralose is supposed to pass through the body unabsorbed. Because sucralose is relatively new in the market still, its long-term effects have not been measured. Some evidence1 suggests sucralose may cause migraines, gastrointestinal issues, and thymus gland damage. Sucralose may also intensify sugar cravings, increase appetite, and trigger insulin release.

3: Acidifying

Soda is made up of a number of acidic chemicals. It is one of the most acidic substances humans ingest. The acids in diet soda demineralize the bones and teeth, and can lead to fractures and osteoporosis. Acid in the body also can lead to a number of health conditions such as inflammation and corrosion of body tissue. When your body is overly acidic your skin will not be as beautiful or youthful. It will contribute to looking older.

4: Caffeinated

Many diet sodas contain caffeine, which is an artificial stimulant and an addictive substance. Caffeine also excessively taxes the liver and can hamper its ability to cleanse and filter toxins from the body. Additionally, caffeine can trigger stress hormones, which can result in chronic stress and weight gain. Caffeine is also a diuretic, which dehydrates the body. It’s best to avoid caffeine in all its forms, particularly diet soda.

5: Increases Risk of Obesity

Studies show that although diet soda has no caloric value, it may have an impact on insulin similar to sugar ingestion. This is most likely due to the cephalic phase insulin response in the brain. When you taste the sweet in diet soda, your body perceives it as sugar and causes the pancreas to release insulin just as it would if you were consuming actual sugar.

Some studies show that drinking diet soda may increase the incidence of obesity and/or prevent you from losing weight. In fact, researchers at the University of Texas Health Center made some startling findings when testing the link between obesity and diet soda.

Obesity risk increased as followed:

26.5 percent for people drinking up to ½ can of diet soda per day, and 24 percent for regular soda drinkers consuming up to one can per day
54.5 percent for one to two cans of diet soda per day as opposed to 32.8 percent for those drinking the same amount of regular soda
57.1 percent for people drinking more than two cans of diet soda per day as opposed to 47.2 percent for people drinking the same amount of regular soda

In other words, diet soda consumption had a higher correlation with obesity rates than consumption of caloric soda containing sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.

6: Increases Toxic Load

There’s not a lot that’s natural in diet soda. Here are just a few of the ingredients you may find:

Carbonated water
Artificial coloring
Phosphoric acid
Potassium benzoate
Citric acid

Doesn’t sound so delicious and healthy, does it! It sounds nasty, and that is because it is indeed a nasty product. Diet soda places a significant toxic load on your liver and can contribute to toxic sludge in your intestines. You are much better off drinking pure, filtered, non-tap water.

7: Increases Risk of Heart Disease

A study at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine4 showed that people who drank diet soda daily had a 61 percent increased risk of a cardiovascular event. The study followed more than 2,500 participants for about nine years, during which 559 vascular events occurred. Even accounting for age and other risk factors, the risk with diet soda consumption appeared to be at least 48 percent higher. With that kind of risk, why take a chance on diet soda?

8: May Contribute to Metabolic Syndrome

A study at University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health in 2008 linked diet soda to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic disorders including obesity, high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides and hormone resistance. According to the study, consuming diet soda increased the risk of developing metabolic syndrome by 34 percent, which was higher than the elevated risk from consuming two other unhealthy types of foods – meat (26 percent increased risk), and fried foods (25 percent increased risk).

With all of these health risks, you have to ask yourself, is diet soda worth it? Avoiding soda may be one of the best things you can do for your health and beauty.

The Bottled Water Deception

The Bottled Water Deception

First, we must rid ourselves of the notion that bottled water is 'purer' or healthier than water from the tap—in fact; often it's exactly the opposite. Around 1.5 million barrels of oil are used making bottled water every year, and around 90 percent of them end up in the landfills. That's enough to make any eco-enthusiast reach for the faucet.

True Facts About Bottled Water

Have you ever bought a bottle of water, opened it, then put it aside? If you took a sip later you may have noticed an odd taste to your water. This is likely because the plastic is breaking down and you are tasting the plastic. The bottled water bought at a store or out of a vending machine are made for single use only.

Ideas on How to Find the Best Re-useable Bottle

Of course a Glass or any organic ceramic bottle would be optimal, however some of us have children. Don't just buy any plastic re-useable bottle on the shelf or the cheapest you can find. Look for the recycle symbol on the bottom of the bottle to find either a 2 or 7 in or around the recycle symbol. The 2 or 7 bottles are recommended for re-use. We have found the number 7 bottles to be very durable.

WARNING: Never heat your bottles up by microwaving them or leaving them in a hot vehicle.

Which brings us to what you will need to know about the hidden dangers of re-using plastic bottles that were not meant to be re-used. Like the single use bottles mentioned earlier, they usually containpolycarbonate plastic which contains Bisphenol-A. So, when looking for a re-useable bottle try to find the bottle that says BPA Free.www.kangenlife.h2origin.com

The Advantages Of Using Electrolytic Water

The Advantages Of Using Electrolytic Water


You will discover ways that Alkaline Ionized Water with a pH of 8.0 - pH 9.5 can be used; 15 different ways that Acidic Water with a pH of 4.0 - pH 6.5 can be used; 6 different ways to use Strong Alkaline Ionized Water with a pH of 11.0 or higher; and 5 different ways to use Strong Acidic Water with a pH of 2.7 or lower. Uncover different uses for these unique waters! 

What is Alkaline or Acidic Water?


Alkaline Water is a healthier form of water, with significant and beneficial anti-oxidant properties.  Creating Alkaline Water starts with a thorough filtration of impurities and then an electrolysis process, which separates ordinary water (H20) into two completely separate entities.  One half of the separated water are the positive acidic molecules, while the other half are the negative alkaline molecules. Alkaline water (with a pH of 8.5 - 9.5) for drinking purposes and acidic water (with a pH of 2.5 - 6.5) is used for topical applications.

Alkaline Ionized Water is very high in antioxidants that helps boost your body's health.  The human body needs to maintain balance between acidic and alkaline properties to properly process foods, make repairs, and generally remain in proper balance.  Ingesting too many acidic foods and beverages, most notably carbonated soft drinks, can lower the body's natural pH levels to dangerously acidic levels, which can be a breeding ground for disease.  By consuming the Alkaline Ionized Water, a person may restore his or her body's proper pH balance and
perhaps even become more alkaline, which would be great for anyone's health.

In addition to containing natural anti-oxidants and being high in alkaline, Alkaline Ionized Water also has smaller water molecule clusters, which makes them more readily absorbed by the body. Ordinary tap water or unprocessed bottled waters have larger water molecule clusters, which tend to pass through the body without reaching individual cells.  Without proper re-hydration, these cells can suffer from a form of cellular dehydration and either die too soon or fail to function efficiently or properly.  Alkaline Ionized Water has the ability to re-hydrate these cells before they essentially degenerate and helps keep them healthy and working at optimal levels.
