Good Health And Wellness Begins with Back To The Basics
It seems as if this is big on everyone's list these days. However, it really is not as hard as all the food, vitamin, and supplement manufacturers want all of us to believe. The truth is we all have to find our way back to basics. We can live about 30 days without food yet only three without water, so the old adage about drinking is oh so true, however tap water with all the chemicals, bacteria, and other undesirables included can be downright unhealthy if not out right toxic to our bodies.
To avoid these noxious impurities we should try to get our water supply through one of the following methods of purification, distilled, filtered or through reverse osmosis. One should be careful as to the amount of water one is taking in however as water when consumed in large quantities can become toxic to the body and can even kill, as made headline news by a recent radio show contest. One should watch how much water they are losing due to sweat that sometimes is not even apparent on the surface and should add a pinch of "sea salt" not table salt to about one gallon of pure water to help replace the lost electrolytes.
One of the biggest back to basics is in what we drink. Try to stay away from all processed drinks such as non-pure fruit mixes; milkshakes and number one soda especially diet soda. Pure water is the best for rehydrating and balancing our bodies.
As far as the foods we eat, we should aim for the same back to basics ideology, the closer to the point of growth the better. The saying of an apple a day keeping the doctor away is a well known saying yet we have moved so far from the apple's source there is hardly any truth to it anymore. For example, a popular strawberry drink mix for milk contains no strawberries at all in the ingredients. Now the new guidelines are to eat five fruits and vegetables a day, yet eight to ten is what we should all be eating. That sounds like a mountain of fresh produce to climb, yet if you replace everything you have been consuming with fresh or as close to fresh as possible your body will be grateful.
