Bet You Didn?t Know . . . All Waters Are Not Created Equal
Water fortifies our systems and our cells. Without it, we couldn't survive. And it has been linked to many health benefits, from removing toxins from the system to improving brain function. Those 8 to 12 glasses of water a day are certainly critical . .
. but if the water we drink isn't "clean," we're not doing our bodies much good. Contaminants, from chlorine to aluminum, in our tap water supply have caused many consumers to abandon their taps for bottled water. But bottled waters have their own hazards. The acidic pH in many plastic bottled waters causes the plastic to leach into the water, particularly if the bottles have been sitting in a warehouse for a long time.
It's important to drink waters that have a pH of 7.0 and higher, and preferably housed in glass bottles or safer plastics such as PET or PETE. Here are some excellent spring and artesian water choices: Mountain Valley Spring Water, VOSS Artesian Water, Fiji Natural Artesian Spring Water, Trinity Spring Water. If you continue to use tap water as your primary water source, consider investing in a home water filtering unit such as The Wellness Filter www.wellnessfilter.com
or The Ionizer Plus hightechhealth.com. At the very least, invest in a carbon pitcher filter system such as Brita or PUR, which filter out many impurities.Also, be careful of distilled water. Although some people will use distilled water as a detoxifier when they are fasting, it should be kept to a minimum.
Distilled water has no mineral or nutritional content and long-term use can cause a rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium and chloride). Super Health Hydration Tip: Most other fluids don't "count" towards your water goal. Soft drinks, coffee, alcohol . . .
these diuretics are dehydrators that actually deplete the body of essential minerals and vitamins and compromise the gains you get from drinking clean water. Your 8 to 12 glasses should be "net" glasses of water per day. For more information, go to http://www.superhealth7.com.

Colored Eyeglasses Help Avoid Obesity
University Heights, OH (ContentDesk) May 26, 2006 -- A recent large study of the relationship between sleep deprivation and obesity shows that those who sleep less than 7-9 hours a night have a higher risk of being obese.
Those who sleep 4 hours have a 73% higher risk of being obese and those who sleep 6 hours have a 23% higher risk. This is according to a recent study at Columbia University.Physicists at John Carroll University have come up with a new way to get more and better sleep. It has been known for years that the sleep hormone, melatonin is only produced by the pineal gland when the eyes are in darkness. By using artificial light in the evening before going to bed, people are depriving themselves of the thing that will help them sleep, melatonin.
In 2001 it was discovered that different colors of light have different effects on the pineal gland. It is the blue component in light that causes melatonin suppression. By blocking the blue light from the eyes for a...

Clear Readers: Reading Glasses With an Invisible Presence.
When faced with the reality of having to wear reading glasses some people will try anything to avoid them. There is another option that allows you to wear reading glasses, but keep it low key so others may not even notice you have them on. Clear plastic reading glasses have an invisible look to them. For those not happy with the idea of wearing reading glasses this may be their answer.The idea of plastic frames can turn some people off. In the past plastic frames were quite heavy as compared to metal frames.
However, the technology today has allowed for the creation of lightweight plastics, like zyl or TR-90 memory flex plastic. TR-90 memory plastic also offers an added benefit of being flexible that makes frames much more durable. Memory plastics have the ability to form to the wearers face to provide a comfortable, custom fit with every wear. Clear plastic reading glasses do not have to be avoided simply because they are plastic. Just look for the special materials available...

Another Special Earth Day for a Unique Glassware Company
The U.S. generates more than 200 million tons of municipal solid waste annually, which is 4.3 pounds per person per day. More than half of this waste ends up in landfills. That's why "reduce, reuse and recycle" has grown in importance for consumers and businesses worldwide. While 'Earth Day' was established in 1970 to promote ecology, respect for life on our earth and highlight the concern of pollution of soil, air and water, we need to ensure that its focus is not relegated to just the one day a year??.
it is to become our firm way of life, every day. The Green Glass company bears testimony to this way of life. The company founded 14 years ago by two enthusiastic entrepreneurs welcome the fact that they can once again partake in Earth Day celebrations.Green Glass Inc, which opened for business late 2002, is an innovative company that converts reclaimed bottles into elegant glassware.

Recent market trends show an almost revolutionary boom in the field of contact lenses, not just as a substitute for glasses, but also as cosmetic accessories, such as colored contacts. As the name suggests, the lens comes in direct contact with the pupil do not slip, move, or fall off like glasses.

What Does It Take To Get A Multifocal Contact Lens?
What Does It Take To Get A Multifocal Contact Lens?
Honestly, what does it take to get into a pair of multifocal contact lenses? I know they're used for correcting the effects of astigmatism and presbyopia. I happen to know a bit about multifocal vision correction in general--and I should. After all, my father is named Benjamin Franklin (no, really) and Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals. But my experience with multifocal contact lenses has been rather limited, despite my best efforts. Even direct questions to my optometrist failed to produce any results.My Life in Technicolor Glasses
I have a long personal history of vision correction. I got my first pair of glasses when I was eight years old. It was a fate I couldn't avoid, with both my parents...

How long have prescription eyeglasses been around?
From documents that were retrieved in Rome in the 13th Century, we know that prescription eyeglasses were available at that time. They were referred to as "spectacles" rather than glasses. Although we do not know for certain when prescription eyeglasses were invented, we do have proof that they did exist during this time period. A portrait done by an artist named Tomas da Modeno portrays a gentleman wearing eyeglasses. Obviously what we do not know is if they are prescription eyeglasses.
There are, however, other documents such as a manuscript written by a man that implies that if the he wasn't wearing spectacles, he would not be able to read or write.In the 15th century the printing press was invented which meant more reading material was readily available. Thus, the need for prescription glasses increased. The first reading glasses were held by one hand only during the times that they were needed for reading. It was later in the 17th century when people actually wore the glasses...

Which Breed Is Right For You?
Why does one breed appeal to a person over another? Why do some of us love the size, looks and temperament of a Great Dane and others would never own anything but a Toy Poodle? Every breed has their pros and cons. As a prospective puppy buyer/dog owner, you must be aware of the traits, both good and bad, of the breed you are considering. Many pet owners own the breed they do because of an impulse buy. Sometimes this works out fine and other times dog owners find out, too late, that this is not...
