Let’s face it, we all want to live longer. Make no doubt about it, drinking the right amount of water is vital for health, weight loss and good skin. Only, it has to be safe water. If you don’t know already, it’s a good idea to learn more about the water purification process. Most of us rely on tap or bottled water for our daily drinking water. Currently, there are all sorts of companies making distilled, spring or power-packed water for consumption.

But you should know it’s a challenging process to produce good bottled water. This is due to the many toxic chemicals and environmental pollutants, especially in our water supply. That’s why some bottled water companies explain water purification techniques without a lot of depth. In reality there are little sources of pure bottled water sold. According to one study about 25% of bottled water sold in the United States is simply re-processed, municipal water. In fact, both Aquafina (made by Pepsi-Cola) and Dasani (produced by Coca-Cola) are actually reprocessed from municipal water systems.

So you can see why we need purer water. An increased intake of pure water will enhance many aspects of your health as well as flush out toxins from your system. You’ve probably heard this one before “drink eight ounces of water each day.” And, yes, it still holds true. That being said, it’s not very good if you’re drinking eight glasses of tainted water a day. That’s really defeating the purpose of healthy living isn’t it?

Also, people don’t realize that there are no government standards that require bottled water to be of a higher standard, purer or more secure than our tap water. In fact, a lot of water is bottled and sold in the same state it’s manufactured in to avoid the more federalized rules and regulations that do come up.

What’s more, from an environmental standpoint, the process of bottling water is harsh on our natural resources. According to Eric Olsen of the Natural Resources Defense Council: “It causes millions of plastic bottles to be manufactured, transported and then disposed of in U.S. landfills, it’s killing our planet, and for no good reason,” said Olsen.

Other environmental experts say that the bottled water industry does more damage than good. First, the wasteful plastic used for the bottles is evident. Second, it takes millions of barrels of oil to produce the bottled water. Whatever the water purification process used, the production alone is taxing on our natural resources.

Another position on this topic is how to use tap water safely. A growing trend is the use of home water filtering systems. A more environmentally friendly solution to the bottled water dilemma is home water purifying systems that consist of taps that fit right on your kitchen faucet. This can help you get quality-tasting water in a more accommodating way.

Let me explain water purification systems by the way they are used. Some mechanisms rely on a dual filter system. This type uses a combination of carbon filtration ion exchange and sub-micron filtration. Reviews indicate this produces healthy, quality water. So be sure a home system can filter out the impurities that get in our water. This includes volatile organic compounds like lead, and chlorine cysts, which are nasty chlorine resistant parasites. What a good system does leave in are the natural trace minerals we need for pure water.

Lastly, be more aware about where you get your water and how it can affect the environment and your health. In the long run, you will be glad you did. Check out a good home water filtering system that can offer you health and convenience–and no bottles anywhere!

Many times, people look to their grandparents and say, “Wow. Grandma got away with eating and drinking what she wanted, smoked, drank like a fish, and lived to be 90. My family has good genes, no need to worry about my lifestyle.” The truth, and good news for those of us with “bad genes”, is that food and lifestyle choices turn genetic expression off and on. And when Grandma was growing up, her environment was much cleaner and safer:

There weren’t 5,000-plus untested chemicals floating around in her water or air. The EPA, FDA, NCI, and NIH weren’t filled with “leaders” from chemical, food, and drug companies. This means there wasn’t chemotherapy waste or PCBs in her water and artificial sweeteners at her table.

There wasn’t a sea of radiation from cell phones, wireless connections, and medical tests like CT Scans. The soil-from which she ate real, not processed food-was less polluted and thus richer, making food more nutritious.

Sweets were a big treat and often available only on special occasions and in small portions. Food intake wasn’t as narrow as ours with the base of most people’s diets coming from soy, corn, or wheat. A sense of community from her family and church/temple being nearby existed, which reduced isolation and loneliness. She didn’t need to be an “emotional eater” to feel comfort.

She walked up the hill (both ways) on her way to school, thus getting in more movement. And with that walk, was there ever a mention of a 64 ounce diet soda, jumbo Slurpee, or supersized “snack” of Oreos? No, because our food supply has changed more in the last 50 years than the previous 10,000!

All of the above culminates in a less invaded and thus much stronger immune system. And when you’re strong, you can get away with more. Today, being strong involves standing up to special interests in order to create an environment conducive to a healthy life for kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, and ourselves.

As Peter Hawken said in his inspiring commencement speech, “You are brilliant and the earth is hiring.”

Here are 10 ways you can make a difference in your health and clean up the environment right now:

1. Shop at your local farmers’ markets. Locations and resources within your town or city are just an Internet search away. Shopping at these markets cuts down on pesticide and herbicide use as well as greenhouse gases from shipping your food across the country.

2. Replace meat once a week with a vegetarian option like Portobello mushrooms. You’ll reduce your greenhouse gas emissions by 700 lbs per year and save the amount of water it would take for a four-hour shower – each week!

3. Watch “Food, Inc.” with two friends who aren’t as food savvy as you.

4. Support organic whenever possible. To learn about all the chemicals on and in your food, visit the Environmental Working Group online.

5. Stop buying bottled water. The plastic is destroying the environment and you’re getting scammed. Bottled water isn’t always regulated as closely as tap water. I use an Aquasuana home-filter and a Klean Kanteen. Perfect solution!

6. Investigate your skin care products to see how toxic they are for you and the environment and then use this database to find better choices: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/splash-donate/index.php?URI=%2Findex.php

7. Support organizations that are focused on disease prevention through healthy living and environmental stewardship. The Environmental Working Group or Organic Consumer Association are some great options.

8. Figure out your carbon footprint and then shrink that foot!: http://www.nature.org/initiatives/climatechange/calculator

9. Next time you read an article attacking the common sense of complimentary medicine, follow the political and money trail. And don’t just resign to being cynical; write an op-ed or support independent publications. There are amazing people doing amazing work out here. Go find them!

10. Spend your time in Nature versus destroying it. We aren’t off the hook simply because we buy a canvas grocery bag! Shop and consume less and be in Nature more. You’ll be inspired and reminded of what a beautiful world we are renting. If you do this, the desire to tread more lightly will become part of your nature.

What would we do without Mother Nature? It’s not too late to start making smart choices. We can bring back Her old self and never have to find out.

You no longer have to worry about hemp clothing being boring and rough because it is now fast becoming one of the top eco materials and is being styled into fashionable modern clothing available in a vast array of colours and textures.

But why would we want to wear hemp clothing? Well some would say the benefits of clothes made from hemp far out-weigh commercial cotton clothing, and I would have to agree. First of all, hemp material is a natural plant-based material that has not been exposed to harsh chemicals and pesticides, making it a suitable choice for your health and those with sensitive skin. Commercial cotton is one of the most heavily chemically treated crops in the world and chemical residues are absorbed by our skin when we wear it. Secondly, it is a very economical product because it is very easy to grow, can be sown several times per year and requires less water and no chemicals. Thirdly, clothes made from hemp are very durable because the material is strong. It also reduces perspiration because, as a natural material, is it more breathable than synthetic fabrics. And lastly, hemp clothing is more resistant to molds as it has anti-bacterial properties and is also good for protection against UV rays. So as you can see, hemp clothing is wonderful for both your health and the environment.

The idea of hemp usually makes us think of the more known cannabis, but you don’t need to worry whether your clothing will have any properties of the drug. Commercial hemp plants which are used for the production of fabrics are made from low THC hemp plants. These plants do not allow any physical or psychological effects because the only contain minute amounts of THC which is the psychoactive drug.

So how is a like the leafy hemp plant made into clothing? First of all the pectin which holds the hemp fibres together needs to be dissolved so the plant stalks are soaked in water. This allows the fibres to separate and then they are processed and woven into yarn. Modern techniques now also allow for the hemp fibres to be blended with natural bamboo and organic cotton. This provides further soft and luxurious textures and fabrics to make more variations of clothing.

Without a doubt hemp clothing is the best choice for your heath and the environment. Not only is hemp made into clothes, but there is a fantastic and expanding range of hemp products such as linen, bags, shower curtains,shoes and yoga mats. Hemp clothes are available for men, women and children too. So when you choose hemp clothing next time you are shopping for clothes, not only will you be making a better choice for our health, you will be helping the earth too.

Do you ever forget to breathe? Because, if we did, we might be six feet under. So how come we forget to drink water? There are many people who do forget to drink water, amazing? Just like how oxygen is vital for surviving, simply put, water plays an enormous part in our lives. There must have been many times during the day when we feel tired, low, exhausted or need that burst of energy in our body, and we reach out for food to satisfy our cravings, wherein we might actually be needing water to quench our thirst and get our energy levels up.

Health benefits of drinking water: Your daily intake
Staying properly hydrated is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to stay in good health. The more water we drink, the healthier we become. Water increases the quality and the length of our lives. By developing good hydration habits, we, i.e. our body functions well. As we age, we become less sensitive to loss of water in our body, which leads to body wrinkles.

Drinking plenty of water is good idea to keep body lines, wrinkles, dehydration, etc at bay. Studies say that we should aim for

Many people think that if you are using something that is disposable then you are going to be harming the environment simply because you aren’t going to keep them for a relatively long time. This can be true, definitely, but is this the case with contact lenses?

It depends on a few things. One is what kind you plan on wearing, how long they last you and if you only wear contacts or if you also wear glasses. It’s said that the average waste produced from contact lenses in a month is a few pounds. This really isn’t a big deal when you consider the total waste a human provides is about 1600 pounds. It starts looking like quite a small number. When you take into consideration all the supplies that come with contacts such as cleaner solutions, contact lens cases and other accessories it can start to add up, but not enough that would make you worry or consider changing your lifestyle.

If you are really worried about the impact you could have on our planet, your contacts or even glasses are not the place to start. Maybe when we have recycling mastered and you have slowed down and perfected your use of energy and waste and have nothing else to worry about you could start looking towards your vision needs.

Ultimately at the end of the day, it’s good that you are worried about it, but feel safe knowing that your contact lenses are not going to the big waste or worry at the end of your day!
