Get more antioxidants than you could eat in a day, from your water

That’s right, drinking alkaline water will give you more antioxidants than you could eat in a day! What is Alkaline/Ionized Water You may have heard or read the terms “alkaline” or “ionized”. But do you understand what they mean? And what are they good for?
There is no doubt about the importance of water for all living things. Water aids with digestion and play a key role in many metabolic processes. You may be surprised to learn that the average person’s body mass is composed of seventy to eighty percent water. So it is not hard to understand why you hear many people many say to drink eight glasses of water a day to maintain optimum health. However, most of us do not like the taste of tap water.

Convenience or Health?

In my studies on nutrition, everything leads to eating raw uncooked, unprocessed food. We know that we are supposed to eat if we give it a moment’s thought but unfortunately we are so busy that we grab what is convenient, and that has led us down the road to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancers, high blood pressure and much more. Here is an amazing stat; in 1970, Americans spent about $6 billion on fast food.

Non-stick cookware chemical PFOA linked to high cholesterol in children

I subscribe to the Natural News email newsletter and this weeks article was fascinating…in a scary way! (NaturalNews) Another day, another headline about the dangers of a synthetic chemical in our food… This time it’s PFOA, or perfluoroalkyl acid — the non-stick chemical used on cookware surfaces. According to a study just published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, high levels of PFOA were strongly correlated with an increase in both total cholesterol and LDL “bad” cholesterol.

Fast Food Convenience or Fast Track to Disease?

Everywhere we turn someone is suffering from diseases and cancers. Every day people experience pain in their body. We can prevent illness from coming into our body and  disease by doing some simple things like learning to eat healthy foods, being physically fit, having a healthy diet, and a healthy lifestyle. Realizing that there are many distractions in our lives that take us off the right track of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We have to be intentional about planning our meals and conscious to avoid the modern day traps-like all the fast food restaurants we pass as we run errands, new yummy looking snacks and foods that are calling our name as we go down isle after isle in the grocery stores. Our desire to be healthy slips through our fingers as we imagine the piece of cheesecake melting in our mouth and we quietly say to ourselves “just this once, I will be good tomorrow…”

Health Matter and food is a starting point

Knowing what foods to eat and which ones to steer clear from, will be critical for those looking to improve their health and decrease the amount of toxins they consume.

My health journey helped me to understand in a way, that perhaps I never would otherwise, the importance of healthful foods and the impact that bad ones had on my health and quality of life. I know the last statement may seem to be a bit of an exaggeration or overstatement buts it’s not. The foods we eat can either strengthen our bodies or contribute to their destruction.  It is crucial that each person understand this and make whatever changes are necessary to eat healthier.

Is there a connection between Fiber and Cancer?

If you were in a room with 50 other people and you were ask to raise your hand if you know someone who has or has had cancer I would bet every hand would go up in the room…I actually ask this question every time I speak to a group of people and I have yet to have anyone who does not raise their hand!

This is a disease that ravishes the body and in the end for many it leaves it’s victims lifeless, snuffing out life was too soon. What many of Americans don’t realize is this-Cancer does not strike randomly. The choices we make in our lifestyles, the water we drink the air we breathe and the foods we eat play a key role. Learning which foods to eat and which to avoid might mean the difference between illness and health.

What’s up with eggs?

Egg Outbreak? As reported on Aug 23, 2010 in the New York Times, half a billion eggs are being recalled for possible salmonella infection the American egg industry was already battling a movement to outlaw its methods as cruel and unsafe, and adapting to the Obama administration’s drive to bolster health rules and inspections. The cause of the infections at two giant farms in Iowa has not been pinpointed, Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said… ‘There is no question that these farms that are involved in the recall were not operating with the standards of practice that we consider responsible,’ Ms. Hamburg said in the strongest official indication yet that lax procedures may be to blame…

Questions to ask yourself about the cancer industry…

I came across an article in naturalnews.com that listed out many interesting questions to ask yourself about the cancer industry that I just had to boil down and share with my valued readers…

#1: What type of cancer prevention education does the cancer industry provide if any, and where is it promoted?
#2: If all this money is donated annually for drug research and trials of new drugs for cancer cures why do cancer patients still have to pay for the treatments?
#3: Why does the entire cancer industry so strongly dissuade people from using sunlight exposure to dramatically reduce their cancer risk? (Hint: Follow the money to the sunscreen industry…)

Medical testing is it too much radiation?

The associated press wrote an article about the radiation we get from medical scans here are some details from that article written June 14, 2010… We worry about the scanners in airports, cell phones and cell phone towers, microwaves and power lines… But sadly we don’t think twice when our doctor tells us we need CT scans, or X-Rays. This is the major source of the radiation we get and while we should be concerned about the other sources as well 1 CT Scan can.

Are School Lunches in America Healthy for our Kids?

An article published by CBS Interactive Business Network

Headline reads “Flunking lunch: under pressure for money, many schools are offering students unhealthy alternatives to the school-lunch program”  Sounds like we may have the answer to my question just in the first sentence! Here is a section of the article that is fascinating to me… During a lunch hour at Albert Einstein High School in Montgomery County, Maryland, not long ago, students bought 440 servings of french fries–the most popular item by far. Another 360 students bought the fully prepared lunch. The cafeteria also sold 187 snack cakes, 118 slices of pizza, and 56 bags of potato chips. At the bottom of the list were three bowls of soup and three fresh salads.
