Men Need Water, Too-Cont'd

Part two: Getting back to men, chemicals, and the need for water....

It has been discovered that the chemicals BPA and phthalates found in the plastic water bottles, just doesn’t affect women. It, also, affects men. In a 2006 review of 700 studies by NIEHS, it was found that "rodents exposed... had higher rates of... reduced sperm counts, and neurological disorders." In the Vogue Magazine article of August-2007, An Inconvenient Truth; The Link Between Infertility & the Environment, it stated that BPA "has been shown in animal studies to cause prostate cancer and malformed genitals."

We have so many chemicals in our environment that affect our health and well-being and that of our family. We are bombarded with chemicals in the air we breathe, in and on the foods we eat, and in the water we drink. The chemicals in the environment can cause us to be overly acidic, too. We have a population that is generally overly acidic. To contribute to this is stressful lifestyle we lead, the foods we eat, and the beverages we drink, among other things.
Beverages such as sodas, sports drinks, and energy drinks are acidic, as well as, even some of the bottled waters. The plastics in which they are contained leach chemicals since water is a solvent. So, in view of all this, what can everyone-men, women, and children-drink to stay both hydrated and healthy during times of physical activity and stress without causing them more health challenges?

Find out more tomorrow-This is important, Guys. We live in a chemical environment that is taking a toll on our health. So book mark this blog. Find out how important & necessary good, pure water is that's, also, alkaline, super hydrating, and anti-oxidant-many times more anti-oxidant than vitamin C or Green Tea-for our health, well-being, and longevity. Any baby boomer out there will attest to the importance of living active, productive lives for as long as we possibly can. Right? Well, water is a vital part of that process. After all we are over 70% water. If we aren't consuming enough water, then God must have made a mistake. Because that's what we should be drinking. He didn't make us 70% coffee, soda, or whatever else men drink to quench their thirst. Till next time...

Take care & God bless,

Water, Water Everywhere-Which One Do You Drink?

Hope you are having a great day--There is so much discussion on water lately. Bottled water is the topic of conversation everywhere. There are so many to choose from. And, tragically, as a by-product, in the US alone, 50 billion plastic bottles are being thrown away: Bottles that won't bio-degrade for hundreds and hundreds of years. What a legacy to leave the children of the world!

But, that's only one of the problems of drinking bottled water. Most importantly, for your health, the water you drink should be alkaline for good health. That means it should be 8.5 to 9.5 on the pH scale.

Lots of authors are discussing this subject. The majority of bottled water is reverse osmosis. None of those that I have tested is alkaline or even neutral, 7.0. In fact, they test out quite below neutral in the low pH range which means they are acidic. Spring water is usually somewhere around neutral. However, most are bottled in plastic that can release harmful chemicals into your water that can cause problems. I'll discuss more on that in future posts.

And, how about soda pop? That has a pH of below neutral to the extent that if you drink just one small soda, yes, one small soda, you need to drink 32 + 8 oz. glasses of Alkaline water-9.5 pH-to neutralize your body from the acidic properties of that one small can. Can you imagine the effect on a person's body from those Big Gulps that people buy? And, don't get me started on diet sodas. More on that in the future, too.

Our health is just way to important to fool around with. What we drink is vital to our health and well-being. If you want a concise little, FREE, book on the importance of literally changing your water to change your health, go to our web site. It's very good. There's, also, an informative, short newsletter that will come just once a week for a few weeks-won't bog your e-mail box down. I'm the only one that gets your info, and I promise I won't share or sell it. So request both. You'll soon discover that all water is not the same and how important the right choices are.

More next time...Take care, & have a great day!

To your good health,
