Great Gifts... Give the Gift of Health Well, it is that time again... Christmas and the New Year are right around the corner. Let this be the year that you start to take better care of yourself and your family. No matter how you slice it, the world is becoming more toxic. Quality nutritious food is getting more difficult to find and even more difficult to afford. Chemicals, harsh insecticides, chem trails, and other pollutants are destroying the soil, the air and the water. This toxicity leads to cancer, diabetes, thyroid problems, and obesity. Now, more than ever, you need to boost your immune system. That starts with a good detox cleanse, natural health products  and proper nutrition. Before you buy that iPod or flat-screen TV, how about getting them something that will help keep them healthy? Please consider a water ionizer . Not only will it filter and purify the water, but it will also oxidize and change the pH levels. This can change the pH in your body. Ionized water helps balance the body's pH, which tends to be acidic because of our diet comprised of cooked foods, pasteurized or otherwise processed foods. This acidic condition creates an ideal environment in our body for disease to thrive. For example, accumulated acid waste in the joints encourages inflammation and arthritis. Because it is very alkaline, ionized water dissolves accumulated acid waste and returns the body to a balance. Keeping ourselves alkaline is the first line of defense in fighting any disease. In addition to filtering the water you drink, you should also filter the water you bathe in. A shower filter  can eliminate chlorine, and other harsh chemicals from entering your body from the largest organ in the human body... the skin. Oxidized water will not only improve your heath, it will also inprove the taste of your foods as well as reducing the amount of tea and coffee needed. Specialty tea  shops using the most expensive teas use water oxidizers and find that they pay for themselves because much less tea is required to get a superior cup of tea. For great gifts and stocking stuffers, consider Teas, herbs, aroma therapy, & bath and body products . Softer Hair and Smoother Skin Unfiltered shower and bath water can double exposure to chlorine by absorption through the skin and by inhalation of chlorine vapors. Shower and bath filters  filter chlorine for softer hair and smoother skin. Now you can fight brittle hair, dry skin and dandruff where health and beauty begin right in your shower and bath.   Breathe Easier Chlorine vaporizes in hot shower water and, when inhaled in the lungs, is transferred into the blood stream. Scientific studies have linked chlorinated water to potentially harmful by-products that can, over time, contribute to such health threatening conditions as cancer of the bladder, liver, stomach and colon. Heart disease, high blood pressure and allergies have also been linked with chlorine. Shower Filters  and  Bath ball filters can help reduce these risks so you can breathe easier. Pets and Horses If your pets are considered part of your family, you might want to consider organic pet health supplements.
