Pet Minerals

Our beloved pets, like us (their humans), need fresh water and minerals to help sustain a long healthy life.  In fact they could benefit from the same mineral supplement that has helped many of us achieve "wetter water", a more alkaline cellular environment, and increased oxygenation within our bodies.

Hydrating at the Cellular Level

 

We  might not pay much attention to the water content in the vegetables we eat but we really ought to.  When we are born our bodies are made up of almost 78% water. As we age, the water content in our bodies start to decrease. This is something we don't always realize, particularly if we associate water with say, a glass of drinking water, or a body of water that we swim in.

Boosting Brain and Memory

We can joke around about an occasional bout of forgetfulness. Sometimes we can also find humor in it occurring more frequently as we age. But when this forgetfulness becomes a more regular occurrence, it affects our day-to-day living and affects people around us, especially the people we live and work with.

Soda and Our Bodies

Did you know that there is plenty of truth to the "scary" stories you hear from natural health advocates about the dangers of sodas. That's right! It's not just some anti-soda company campaign that's going around. It's the truth and manufacturers with millions of dollars to spend on advertising try to convince you otherwise. And then they invest even more money getting fast food and other restaurants to carry their "brand" or "line" of sodas by offering substantial discounts.

Reasons to Eat Fruit

Many of us adults probably remember how much our parents used to tell us to eat our fruits and vegetables.  Of course, it likely was easier to follow through with eating fruits because they simply had more flavor to them than vegetables.  Plus there's a natural sweetness to them that made them so much more tasty.

Nowadays, with so many busy lifestyles and eating on the run, it's hard to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.  It's no wonder why fiber shakes, vitamin shakes, and similar "liquid food replacement" products fly off the store shelves as quickly as they do.
