Well the seasonal Flu finally caught up to me. Even though I have an immune system like a Rhino still somehow I managed to let one of those little viruses’ get past me. A few of my friends also contracted the Flu this year and all where complaining of persistent symptoms for several weeks. Unlike my friends I only experienced symptom for about 5 day and then I was back the game of life full throttle. When asked what my secret was I reminded them it was no secret I just kept up with my daily Multi Vitamins and added an extra Super Green Food to my daily supplement program.
Most of us when we get a cold or flu struggle with lose of appetite which can cause an additional drop in immune efficiency. Enter the super hero “Super Green Food” that provides an extra boost and is not very filling when only mixed with water and perhaps adding a banana for extra potassium. If this is still too much for a diminished appetite Super Green Food is also available in tablets.
So make sure to have plenty of Super Green Food on hand, drink plenty of clean water and of course some of mom’s homemade chicken soup is always a great comforting addition.
YOU DON’T NEED A HIGH QUALITY HOME WATER FILTER SYSTEM……………. NOT!
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) tracks major outbreaks of diseases. All though these reports rarely make center page of the main media the CDC reported a case in 1993 in Milwaukee, where 403,000 people were afflicted with cryptosporidium; 1440 people were hospitalized and scores DIED. This occurred due to a faulty filtration system in a water system much more modern then many less sophisticated systems throughout the U.S. such as open water reservoir water supplies like that found in places such as Eldorado County, California.
In an article released by the Sacramento Bee on Nov. 4, 1998 reported on an alarming pollution problem that created a potentially deadly healthy hazard. The report documents through photographs the gross negligence of the drinking water supply management board (EID) with a photograph of a manure pile and horses at water’s edge, along with dead animals and other pollutants draining into one of the reservoirs.
As we rely on government municipalities for our safety it is hardly a perfect system. That is why a high a quality water purifying system is so important. A home water filter systems is the only way you can know that the water you are drinking is pure and safe. Affordable and easy to install water purifiers are a part of true health insurance, or what we call assurance.
In the most comprehensive study released to date on mercury contamination in the nation’s streams, underscored how widespread mercury pollution has become. The U.S. Geological study released on Wednesday found toxic substance in every fish tested at nearly 300 streams across the country. The alarming findings not only effect wildlife but the levels of mercury in the water and sediments can also show up in our drinking water system as well.
Although we reside in a country with one of the finest water treatment processes in the world it is still not perfect, and in some regions less than optimal. Even though are water is treated for contaminates with chlorine which is said to be safe in low exposure it is still a very toxic chemical. Also once the water leaves the plant it is destine to pickup a variety of contaminates before it arrives for use in drinking and bathing.
Fear not a simple remedy is to pick up a high quality water purifying filter for your home. Affordable and easy to install it is a safe bet to offset the increasing levels of contaminates being found in our water system. And if you are away from home you can now get a water bottle that will filter the water as you drink it from the bottle. I think that is pretty cool and convenient, not to mention minimizing the continuing impact on the environment from disposable plastic water bottles.
