Water: The Drink for Long Life Posted Thu, Aug 21, 2008, 6:22 pm PDT

Water is vital for good health and a long life. Although you can live for days without food, your survival depends on drinking water. Each and every cell needs water to perform its essential functions. Read on to learn how water factors into your health and longevity plans.

Benefits of a good "drinking habit"

Stay hydrated. On hot summer days, your body needs to replenish itself with water more than ever. When you become dehydrated, you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and give you a feeling of fatigue.
Regulate body temperature. For work-out fans, drinking water reduces cardiovascular stress and improves performance. Water also reduces body temperature, making the exercise process safer and more effective.
Skin health. Water hydrates and irrigates impurities from the skin, keeping it healthy and glowing.
Nutrient absorption. Water transports essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, proteins and sugars for assimilation.
Aids in weight loss. If you haven't been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water-which equals extra unwanted pounds. Drink more water to teach your body that it no longer needs to store water. Water is also a natural appetite suppressant.
Flushes wastes and toxins. Water helps us flush our system of the chemicals and toxins that we encounter every day in our modern world: car exhaust, dyed clothing, synthetic, formaldehyde-packed carpets - when you add up the toxins, it becomes dizzying! Your body will process and eliminate some of these hordes of chemicals that enter it. The rest are stored in the liver, lungs, kidneys, fat cells, intestines, blood stream, and skin. Without enough fluids to flush out your system, these accumulated toxins in your body will slow down your organ function, causing premature aging and resulting in chronic illness.

To develop a good water-drinking habit, get two large, rigid thermos bottles with a 20-ounce capacity and fill them with water. Take one along with you during the day to drink at work, and drink the other one at home.

Water: You Are What You Drink
Everything that goes down the drain from our lawns, our agricultural fields, or anywhere else in our environment inevitably ends up in our drinking water. The president of the Environmental Working Group, Ken Cook, states that "approximately 45 million Americans in thousands of communities drink water that is polluted with fecal matter, parasites, disease-causing microbes, and pesticides at levels that violate Safe Drinking Water Act standards."

A recent report showed that pharmaceutical drugs are showing up in tap water across the nation. People taking pharmaceutical drugs pass them through their bodies and into the sewage plants, which remove the usual pollutants - but not drug chemicals from waster water, and some ends up in your drinking water. Even a small amount of drug chemicals and pollutants taken in by your body continuously over a long period of time can trigger genetic changes, cause allergies, or even lead to cancer.

Of the many filtration processes that remove contaminants, the kinds that use activated charcoal is recognized by the EPA as the best available technology for filtering out volatile organic compound (VOCs) and other dangerous chemicals. The most convenient and affordable way to have safe, healthy water for you and your family is to use a Magnetic Pad or Strap. You can learn about a high-performance system that I recommend at Bio-Magnetic Therapy

Health in a Bottle?
Bottled water has gained tremendous popularity, as word about the hazards of tap water is getting out. However, many bottled waters were found to be simply processed tap water using distillation, reverse osmosis, de-ionization or filtration. So, is bottled water safer than tap water? Tests have discovered that some bottled waters contained more chlorine by-products than surface and ground waters. The pesticides, herbicides, and pharmaceuticals that are found in household tap water are appearing in bottled water with alarming frequency.

The Natural Resources Defense Council report on the subject concluded that, "there is no assurance that bottled water is any safer than tap water." Throw into that mix that plastic containers contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which leach into your water. Skip the plastic bottles for storing. Instead store in glass bottles, and for water-on-the-go, get a reusable thermos.

A great idea while you are at work is a magnetic coaster that makes bio-magnetic water right at your desk. Just place water into a glass cup, and make the best tasting water you have ever tasted. I invite you to look at this web site: Bio-Magnetic Therapy for a magnetic coaster.

I hope you will take these tips and keep yourself well watered.

Bio-Magnetic bracelets.

If you're considering wearing magnetic bracelets to test the idea of magnetic therapy, here are five points to keep in mind:

•Trying something is better than trying nothing.

•Trying something inexpensive is better than investing in a costly remedy that may not work for you.

•Trying something natural and noninvasive is preferable to beginning a new medication.

•It is easier to tell if a natural therapy is helping if you are not taking any pain medication that might interfere with the results.

•Trying something and finding that it works for you is extremely valuable, even if you are unable to find documentation to support your results.

If you're suffering from the pain of arthritis, you might as well test magnetic therapy. It can't hurt, and it might really help. And that's what matters.

Researchers have said that magnetic bracelets, worn by many for their supposed health benefits, do reduce the pain of osteoarthritis. This was published in the British Medical Journal in Dec 04.

Magnetic bracelets can help to relieve pain associated with tennis elbow, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, shoulder pain, tendonitis and bursitis, as well as helping to relieve the pains caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Magnetic Therapy also helps to promote healing of wounds and disease and speeds up recovery time. It can increase the level of oxygen in the blood stream. This can help to increase your energy levels since the oxygen will be distributed to muscles and tissues. The increased level of oxygen can also help to increase your mental clarity and awareness. You are encouraged to wear your magnetic jewelry while you are sleeping so that you can increase the likelihood of having a long, deep sleep and waking up refreshed in the morning.

Magnetic bracelets are by far the most popular forms of magnetic therapy. They are being sold all over the world in different shapes, sizes, and prices. They all promise the same effect, but they have different strengths. It is important to choose quality magnetic bracelets. Many of the cheap magnetic bracelets are not as effective because they use inferior quality magnets.

Various places are at hand where one could go to find a magnetic arthritis bracelet or other forms of alternative therapy. One place I found to be a good call online would be the website of Forsythe & Associates.
