If you were to test the water you drink every day, you will find that it contains many contaminants.The reason why it is not contaminant free is that the authorities use chemicals added to the filtered water to kill the germs. This water is stored in areas where run off of all kinds of substances are collected in the water. Besides, we only drink a very small amount in proportion to the total water used in our household. So pure drinking water is not a big issue ...or is it?
Is bottled water the answer?
Bottled water sales are booming, with hundreds of companies producing numerous brands. Most people believe the FDA carefully regulates this industry because it sells the most important nutrient in the body. Well think again, beyond simple hygiene, the bottled water industry is almost entirely self-regulated.
'Mineral Waters' may have a small quantity of minerals added. 'Sparkling Mineral Waters' are aerated. And brands labelled Spring Water, legally have to be from a spring and where that water originated from.Springs contain all kinds of organic matter and often some very toxic heavy metals.
Bottled distilled waters are the only clean bottled source. Virtually everything is removed from the water by steam distillation. Tests show that these contain 2-12 ppm (parts per million) contaminants, whereas the typical faucet water is at 350-1000 ppm. Whenever you drink your bottled water, these contaminates build up into every cell of your body.
There are systems available at supermarkets and electrical stores that 'filter'water. Don't waste your money. These filters only remove large particles which are above 5 microns in diameter. The molecules of most chemicals, pesticides and toxic metals are much smaller than that, and pass through the filter as if it wasn't there.
So if you want to drink pure, clean water contact me and I can give you a source of where to obtain the best water available.

What are RDAs?
When it comes to your health and nutrition, what are RDAs you may ask.
RDAs stand for 'Recommended Dietary Allowances'. You will see these mentioned on labels of food packaging as a % of RDA.
The RDA handbook states:
RDA are recommemdations for the average daily amounts of nutrients that population groups should consume over a period of time.
If you RDAs to plan your nutrition you will never, never reach your optimum health.
The RDAs are a minium daily requirement and not an optimim requirement.
My message today is: No high performance machine can operate at optimum with dirty lubricants. So do you want your body to be a "high performance machine?' Well you need to give it 'quality lubricants' and this means fresh fruit and vegetables and unprocessed foods.

What Does 'Organic' Mean?
Organic food is cultivated and grown without artificial pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers and chemicals. Those people eating organic food say it simply tastes better and is a no-brainer if you want to optimise your health.
Why should I go organic?
Frank W
Why should I go organic?
- The taste is realy great, and it is cheaper than you think. The supermarkets are now selling organic due to public demand.
- If the pesticides are removed from the growing process the food must be healthier.Some pesticides are residual and never breakdown. Animals fed on grains containing antibiotics and growth hormones can interfere with your natural body system and create imbalance.
- Free range livestock aren't penned and subsequently don't require injection of drugs to prevent disease. Grazing land isn't treated with artificial pesticides and fertilizers.
- Eat seasonally produced foods.
- Eat a balance of a wide range of foods.
- Focus on the quality of the food.
- Make small but permanent changes to your menu.
- Develop a green thumb and create your own organic food. You will save money.

"Healthfood" The latest fad.
I do the grocery shopping in our household and I spend time checking labels as to the ingredients contained in the product.
It is amazing to see the packaging contain claims like "97%fat free", "no added sugar",
"low in salt", "highin calcium", Etc. etc.There is scarcely a food item on the supermarket shelves that doesn't have some sort of health claim.
There is an increasing number of people choosing foods that claim a specific health benefit. Organic food sales have increased by 40% in the past five years. Gluten free products are being demanded by a 10 - 20% increase a year. This is dispite the fact that about only 1 % of people have an intolerance to gluten.
Manufacturers have seen this trend and " health" has become a huge selling point and they claim their product has some sort of health bebefit even if they're not good for you.
A claim like "97% fat free" could have a very high refined carbhydrate content which may increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
My point here is that you need to be aware of manufacturers' claims are there to sell their product.
One of the items I found in the health food section was a yoghurt- coated almond & apricot health bar containing more fat than a McDonald's cheeseburger. You would imagine that an almond & apricot bar would be healthy.
You just cannot assume all items in the healthfood isles are better for you.
Stepping out of the supermarket and shopping malls to visit the ' farmer's markets' to purchase organic fresh foods can present it's own minefield. Many of the stall holders are weekday shop owners purchasing their produce from the same wholesalers and then selling under the umbrella of 'farmer's markets', and are not in any way shape or form, involved in growing the food themselves.
I can recall one supermarket chain claiming their produce was picked one day, transported the next, and on their shelf the third day. If you believe this then You are in for a shock.
The facts are that most produce harvested today will be stored in refridgeration for many weeks or months before you see it on the shelf.

Stop Smoking
Hi all,
I would like to mention now how I was able to give up smoking so easily.
If you were(or still are) a smoker then you you will understand how difficult it is to give it up.
I had been smoking since I was 16 years old and some 30 odd years of inhaling the poisons into my system was going to be a tuff ask.
See when you smoke, your body does not absorb the vitamins and minerals that are in the food that you eat and so understanding this you need to get yourself 'pumped-up' on what the body is lacking. At this point I was intruduced to a daily dose of vitamins and minerals of the best quality available. Jennifer ( my wife) had said to me ..."I'm not going to spend this money on these vitamins if you are going to continue to poison yourself with smoking"
As I was determined to give it up (and have a happy wife) then I had to live by her rules (for once). At the same time I went to the Pharmacy and purchased the Nicotine patches.I wasn't asked about what strength I wanted and off I went home and that night put on the first patch.
Within 2 hopurs I had a raging temperature and couldn't settle to sleep. I ripped off the patch and next morning I realised that the patch was putting into my body similar quantities of nicotine as if I had been smoking all night.
That convinced me..........No more smoking!!
From that day forward I did not experience ANY withdrawal symptoms at all!!
This amazed both me and Jennifer.
To this day I am forever greatful for my friend Charles, encouraging me to become involved with a Health & Wellness company.
And If you are wanting to give up the habit take a lesson from my story.

My Health Journey
Hi all,
I am a 59 year old , ex-Vietnam veteran, living in sunny Queensland Australia.
I am married to a lovely lady, Jennifer. We have been maried for 35 years.We have three beautiful children. Kevin, AmmaMarie and Andrew.
I work with Kevin on the internet.
AnnaMarie lives in Melbourne, some 2000 klms away. She is married and is expecting her first child due around Christmas. This will be our first grandchild.
Andrew is living at home and works on a turf farm. He loves it.
My wife Jennifer is a nurse and works in pathology.
Our Health journey started some eight years ago when I was intruduced to a Health and Wellness company launching into Australia.I was a smoker and very unhealthy at the time and so we changed the way we were living from that day.
At this point I need to 'fast forward' to present day.
We have over the last few years been researching Health related subjects and I am in the process of writting an information product on Health and Wellness.
It will cover a range of subjects covering the 'degenerative diseases' and their affects. It will give you information on the cause, prevention and ultimately remedy to help people overcome them.
I tust you will follow me in this blog as I research further and tell you about our findings.
