How Safe is YOUR Drinking Water?
How Safe is YOUR Drinking Water?Do you know the level of exposure you and your family may be experiencing on a daily basis?
Fact:
Lead in your water can damage the nervous system and reduce the intelligence capabilities of children.
Fact:
Bacteria and/or high sulfate levels can have adverse effects on the gastrointestinal system. Fact:
Atrazine and other common herbicides, industrial chemicals and pesticides can cause tumor growth.
Fact:
Municipal systems are only responsible for water quality leaving treatment facilities, not the water you drink in your home.
As a society on a whole we ingest thousands of bacteria and organisms on a daily basis that our body is forced to fight off. It is any wonder we have a rise in cancers, weight gain, obesity, and many other diseases.
- What are we doing to make sure not only are we getting the purest of water?
- What are we doing to provide a safe household for our children, family and friends?
- How are we protecting them?
- What happens when there is a main water break and we are told not to use the water for hours or days and all the bottle water in the stores are gone?
- How will we feed our families, bath and so forth?
The only way to make sure you are getting the healthiest water with out paying for bottle water all the time is to have your own purification system. I am not referring to a water filter, I am referring to a purification system. Check out the video above to learn the difference.

Is Stress Overwhelming You?
Is Stress Overwhelming You?Dr. Duke Johnson, M.D.
Medical Director, Nutrilite Health Institute Center for Optimal Health
Stress: It's a serious health problem for every industrialized society in the world. In a way it's strange, because progress and technology were designed to make our lives easier. Instead, they have prevented us from getting away from our work and obligations.
In the past, you left work and you were done – but not anymore. These days, we often receive text messages and emails around the clock. Factors like competition, tight timelines, and economic pressures mean companies must operate at maximum efficiency in order to survive. The media reports daily on global economic instability and recession, so it's no wonder everyone feels stressed.
Stress can have serious negative short-term and long-term impacts on our health. Stress can raise blood pressure, lower immune function, trigger asthma attacks, cause ulcers, and increase the risk of digestive problems.1 The bottom line: Controlling stress is critical if you want to achieve optimal health and increase your longevity.
The common recommendations for handling stress are usually not the most effective. When I began researching stress more than a decade ago, I collected more than 400 articles on the topic. Surprisingly, I found nearly everyone makes the same recommendations for handling stress. These typically include ideas like get away, take walks, meditate, listen to music, or find some alone time. While these techniques can help if you feel overwhelmed, they are temporary band-aids for a bigger problem.
Most of the stress we experience occurs when we lose sight of the priorities in our lives. Day-to-day "emergencies" demand most of your attention, and many of us have lost the ability to set boundaries on how and with whom we spend our time. In this way, life becomes a game of survival where your only goal is crossing things off your to-do list. As a result, you end up simply existing when you could be living a life that corresponds with your beliefs and goals.
For your health, you must learn to prioritize your life. You need to live according to your beliefs and learn to set boundaries. Remember, there are right and wrong ways to de-stress, which I explain in my new book, Optimal Health Revolution. By using stress reduction strategies that really work and keeping your eye on the big picture instead of the everyday emergencies, you can reduce stress and reach your goal of obtaining optimal health.
