Are you concerned about clean water, your family’s drinking water, the water you shower & bathe in?
The infamous Dr. Oz recently made a presentation (Don’t Drink the Water). It was very compelling!
Dr. Oz, America’s most trusted Doctor, addressed and challenged the audience to take responsibility for the water that flows through the tap in their homes. He talked about the enemies that lurk within our water and told us how we can obtain reports about the water in our specific area (watch the video for more information.) He also admonished us to NEVER give a child a bath filled with ordinary tap water.
View His show @ http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/dont-drink-water This Doc. is “In the know.”
Good clean water is foundational to your health. Many people are somewhat aware of the problems of drinking water from the tap. I see people every week buying bottled water which, besides being expensive, can be an unreliable source of clean water and is packaged in the controversially known (toxic) plastic bottle.
It’s not only important to pay attention to the water you drink; you also must be careful of the water you shower and bathe in. Did you know that your skin is the largest organ of your body? Your skin absorbs everything that is in your water faster than you can drink it. If you buy bottled water but take a bath or shower daily you are STILL absorbing all of the toxins and chlorine into your system.
The first thing I’d like to include in this blog is an educational site you can go to in order to learn about what lurks in our water. Secondly I’d like to introduce you to some cutting edge water technologies that will:
* Save you money
* Make it possible for you to have pure clean water right in your own home.

Important information for you to consider as you consider LIVING HEALTHIER!
Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes.
But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet..
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a “cooling” fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers.. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance.. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, “A banana a day keeps the doctor away!”
PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe…polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!
Here’s to your health!

I represent a 23-year Environmental and Health Technology company. If you are like many other business owners in your industry, you’re concerned with the upcoming flu season and the impact it may have on your bottom line. The last thing small business owners need right now is another challenge to overcome. We value the service you provide to our community and would like to provide you with some information on how you can prepare for and hopefully prevent an outbreak of sickness in your facility.
First, a review of information released recently from the World Health Organization and Center for Disease Control. The WHO announced 100,000 new cases of Swine Flu reported in England during a period of only one week. On Friday, the CDC predicted up to 40% of the US population will be infected over the next 2 years. In addition, Tamiflu resistant strains are now being reported from Europe to Canada and vaccines are not going to be available to everyone for quite some time. The current strain of H1N1 is also much more serious for pregnant women and young children, with the majority of deaths occurring in those demographics.
Secondly, health departments suggest some basic actions to help protect your business. Influenza is spread mainly person-to-person through coughing/sneezing of infected people. Cover noses and mouths with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and then immediately throw the tissue in the trash. Wash hands with soap and water after sneezes, coughs, diaper changes and before and after feedings. Disinfect all toys and common surfaces at least daily. Require kids and employees who are sick to stay home until cleared by a doctor.
All good ideas, right? But let me ask you, are those any different than any other fall and winter? How well do those methods typically work? What if this year instead of strep throat or a cold, what gets passed around is a staph infection or swine flu? How would that infection and its associated press coverage impact your business? How much income would you lose when kids don’t show up or your employees are not allowed to work? Will parents move their kids to other facilities?
If any of those questions cause you concern, then we may be able to help. We specialize in Environmental Treatment Systems which eliminate 99.9% of the most infectious germs and viruses in the air and on surfaces within 24 hours. I’ve included test results from Kansas State University documenting the peer-reviewed results. If you would like more information, or would like to take advantage of a 3-5 day free trial of our technology, I would love to hear from you.

Indoor air quality is a major health concern! According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pollutant levels are at least two to five times higher inside the home than out. These pollutants include airborne particles and particulate matter such as allergens, lung irritants, gases, toxic chemicals, and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).
Indoor air pollution contaminates the air we breathe every day. Since you draw about 9 out of 10 breaths indoors, it’s easy to see why indoor air quality is a top health concern. You typically inhale about two tablespoons of airborne particles a day. YIKES!
These pollutants put stress on your immune system, which can lead to other health problems. The effects of poor indoor air quality on an individual can vary greatly based on age and relative health. However, in general, poor indoor air quality leads to allergy symptoms, respiratory problems, and weakened immune systems.
Children are especially susceptible to the health risks of polluted indoor air since their lungs are smaller and they have to take more breaths throughout the day. If you experience allergy symptoms or asthma attacks in your home, you may have poor indoor air quality. Other sources of IAQ problems may include poor ventilation, lingering odors, environmental changes like recent construction, new furniture, water damage, or a new pet.
Solutions to Indoor Air Pollution
The EPA suggests three basic methods for improving indoor air quality:
1. Control the source of air pollution.
2. Improve ventilation.
3. Purchase an air purifier.
Your first step should be an attempt to control the source of air pollution. If the pollution stems from something like mold, smoke, or chemical off-gassing, it may be possible to remove it from your home; this is very important in order to improve your indoor air quality. However, some indoor air pollutants, such as dust and pollen, are too pervasive, and you usually can’t get rid of the sources.
Better ventilation will improve your indoor air quality if the offending pollutant is a chemical or gas. In this case, bringing fresh air into the home can be very helpful. However, many indoor air pollutants originate outdoors, so opening a window on a high pollen-count day or in a smoggy city may not be the best idea.
The third step suggested by the EPA is to purchase an air purifier. With so many types and brands of air purifiers on the market, it’s sometimes confusing to determine which one is the BEST. Quality air purifiers can work wonders on IAQ. However, some popular air cleaners on the market are not very effective, and many air cleaners actually exacerbate some of the very problems they are meant to cure. When you rely on a brand that has been around for more than 22 years and has Space Certified Technology Developed by NASA, you know you’re on to something good! Try FRESH AIR for FREE! The air will smell fresher, and you will breathe better, sleep better and live healthier!
Air Purification Technologies
HEPA Air Filters
HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. A HEPA filter removes airborne particles like pet dander, mold spores, and dust, capturing 99.97% of all particles 0.3 microns and larger. Out of every 10,000 particles that pass through the HEPA filter, only 3 can escape if the filter is certified HEPA. But equally important to remember is that even HEPA filters can only filter the particulates that make it to the filter. So – millions of pollutants NEVER make it to the filter, which means that YOUR LUNGS are the filter…scary thought!
Activated Carbon Filters
Activated carbon removes gases, odors, and toxic chemicals. Carbon is “activated” by treating it with oxygen, which opens up millions of tiny pores, creating a surprisingly large surface area. (One pound of activated carbon can have a surface area of 60-150 acres!) Chemicals, gases, and odors stick to the carbon and are adsorbed by its huge surface area, bonding to the surface through chemical attraction. The more carbon there is, the more gases and chemicals it can adsorb. Impregnated carbon has been treated with an additional chemical, typically potassium iodide or potassium permanganate. These chemicals are known as chemisorbents, and they improve the carbon’s ability to handle VOCs and chemically reactive gases.
Electrostatic Filters
Electrostatic filters use some kind of electrostatic charge to attract pollutants. Electrostatic precipitators are air cleaners which charge particles as they pass over an electronic cell and trap the particles on oppositely charged collector plates. The advantage of electrostatic filters is that there are no filters to replace; the disadvantage is that the effectiveness of the air cleaner decreases very rapidly as the collector plates fill up with particles. Unless you are willing to wash them frequently, electrostatic filters may quickly become ineffective. Also, some electrostatic filters may generate unsafe levels of ozone, a powerful lung irritant. And – again, I feel it’s important to mention that it can only filter the particles that somehow find their way to the filter.
Charged Media Filters
Another type of filter which relies on electrostatic charge is the charged media filter. Charged media filters charge particles before collecting them in a traditional filter. They can trap very small particles, since they combine a filter and a charge. They can also run more quietly and economically, since the fan does not have to work as hard to draw the particles through the filter. However, like the example above, the charged-media filters lose their efficiency pretty rapidly, and some require frequent and expensive filter changes.
All of these filter types are passive filters and they wait around for pollution. They are not doing anything ACTIVE to get rid of pollutants!
Ionic Air Cleaners
Ionic air cleaners operate by drawing in particles and ionizing them (giving them a negative charge). Then the particles are released into the room, where they are attracted to positively charged surfaces. Ionic technology has its place and is a good system, but again, this technology alone isn’t enough.
State-of-the-art technology systems (NASA Space Certified)
The ONLY company who offers an air purification unit that combines three different technologies combined into one unit which can purify an ENTIRE HOME UP TO 3,000 SF and uses what nature already does for us, but simply puts it into a box for easy placement in your home or office.

Conclusion
Most homes contain a variety of indoor air pollutants, including airborne particulates, allergens, household chemicals, and odors. I recommend an air purifier that combines three proprietary technologies:
*You need Fresh Air with ACTIVEtechnology which duplicates the power of sunlight and thunderstorms to bring the solution to the pollution.
*Natural oxidizers and superoxide ions for basic, everyday applications with added activated oxygen for faster coverage and increased elimination of smoke, odor, and surface contaminants.
*UV light for added germ killing properties.

Common Indoor Air Pollutants
Thousands of different chemicals and proteins may be polluting your air. The most common complaints for allergy sufferers involve airborne particles like pet allergens, pollen, dust, mold, etc. These common allergens range in size from 0.3 to 100 microns, and they are small enough to be inhaled, but they’re too large to be easily exhaled. An air purifier using Space-Certified Technologies represent the BESTmethod of removing common allergens.
Many other common indoor pollutants are simply household odors and gases. These pollutants include things like cooking smells, tobacco smoke, pet litter, and indoor pesticides. Such chemicals and odors can aggravate allergies and asthma.
Chemically reactive gases and VOCs are also responsible for poor indoor air quality. They are found in common household products like paints, cleaning supplies, disinfectants, and new carpets. They are especially harmful for the young, the elderly, and the chemically sensitive, and they can be hazardous to your health if they are present at high enough levels, or if your home is poorly ventilated. VOCs can cause symptoms like headaches, nausea, and throat irritation, and many VOCs are known carcinogens.
How Air Purifiers Improve Your Health
A good air purifier will rid your air of allergens, odors, chemicals, and many airborne disease-causing agents. Even if you’re not sick now, if you continue to breathe polluted air, you will experience detrimental health effects in the future. Many VOCs, for example, are known carcinogens that are likely to cause cancer after continuous exposure. When you purchase a quality air purifier, you will notice the difference. The air will smell fresher, and you will breathe better and sleep better and live healthier!

Colder weather is coming to Michigan very soon. Is your home ready for winter? You will be closing it up tightly to keep the cold air out, but are you aware that you are also closing in many germs, molds and bacteria into your home and may potentially be causing serious health problems for your family?
A few reminders:
*Change the filter on your furnace. Have an inspection done to make sure it’s operating properly and giving you the optimum energy efficiency. While on the subject of energy efficiency, it’s important to protect your entire home from power surges and spikes and to correct low power factors by installing a whole house energy management system
*Call an indoor air specialist to analyze your indoor air quality (Faith Avery with Living Healthier does this for a very low cost and even offers a FREE Trial of an air purification system!)
*Be sure the humidifier on your furnace is set at the correct setting. Too much moisture can invite more mold and dangers for your family.
There is a great emphasis on assessing and controlling indoor air quality right now in light of all the new viruses and mold types that are being introduced into our society on a daily basis. Builders and other home contractors, remodelers and the like are focusing heavily on energy efficiency, acceptable indoor environments and cost effectiveness! With our ever-growing GREEN movement, there are now many more problems in homes to consider due to these viruses, bacteria and other contaminants.
What kind of fungus is growing in your home? Many diseases result from damage to body tissue as harmful fungi use parts of our cells for nutrients or release potent toxins. Common fungal illnesses range from allergic reactions of varying severity to superficial infections, broncho-pulmonary infections, sinus infections, asthma, and hay fever and are largely based on the individual’s sensitivity to each fungus present.
Elevated moisture is the major contributor to indoor micro-biological activity and when materials are obviously damp or wet, or where humidity is high, there is greater opportunity for fungal growth. The severity of growth is further influenced by the amount of time materials are allowed to remain wet and undisturbed. If you have a moisture problem in your home, be absolutely certain that you not only dry it up, but also take preventative measures to protect your family.

Dust, dirt, and materials such as wood, paper, adhesives, acoustical fiber, drywall, plaster, paints, and textiles provide an environment ideal to spore germination and growth. Most indoor fungi grow best when the ambient air is stagnant this is why it’s important to have good ventilation and positive airflow going throughout your home. Spore counts considerably higher in indoor air as compared to outdoor air indicate accelerated fungal growth and the possibility of contamination. This is why it is important to hire a company like ours to establish a plan to maintain an environment that provides human comfort while inhibiting mold growth. Specific methods of assessing and remediating fungal contamination should be based on the extent of visible contamination and underlying damage. In the case of mold growth you should contact a professional immediately. If you are in the West Michigan area, you need to contact Gary Ream with Environmental Systems. He has years of experience in mold remediation. He uses the latest in mold inspection technology and is extremely knowledgeable in mold inspection and will provide the necessary process needed to eliminate the mold in your home while preventing future mold growth. Since no two houses are the same you can rest assured that your home will be treated on an individual basis. So if you have a mold problem please don’t wait any longer, contact Gary Ream for an inspection at 616-844-9202 or 616-446-1841. Then, call Faith Avery with Living Healthier at 616-638-5276 for the perfect solution to your indoor air quality problems.
What may seem like a insignificant mold problem can result to further contamination not only for your home and may possibly be affecting your health and well-being as well turn into a big problem not only for your home but for your health and well-being as well.

Can you name the dirtiest location in your workplace? Logic would dictate the hot spot for germs would be a high-traffic common area. Let’s take a guess. It’s the toilet seat, right? Think again.
Your phone and desk are the most bacteria-ridden places in the office. According to a study funded by the Clorox Company, the phone and desktop have 400 times more germs than the toilet seat. The research, conducted by University of Arizona’s Charles Gerba, Ph.D., found that the toilet seat ranked the cleanest of the 12 surfaces tested. The study also shows your personal work space gets germier over the course of the morning, culminating in a germ explosion following lunchtime. The real-life implications of Gerba’s findings are revolting. When you hold your phone receiver to your face, Staphylococcus, a bacteria normally carried by 25 percent of the population, could fuel your next pimple. If you work diligently while you eat a sandwich at your desk during your lunch break, you could be gearing up for a bout of diarrhea caused by E. coli. There is a simple reason your desk is so filthy and the toilet is pristine in comparison. Most common areas in offices are cleaned and disinfected every night by the cleaning staff. This means areas like the cafeteria and even the bathroom harbor far fewer germs than most desks.
Look at where your hand typically rests on your desk. On average, this very spot is home to 10 million bacteria. Grossed out yet? Let’s examine how you can cut down on illness and zits while boosting the cleanliness and hygiene of your work space. Here you’ll find some aspects to consider. Your Space, Your Responsibility The burden of disinfecting your phone, desk, keyboard and mouse does not normally rest on your cleaning crew’s shoulders. You must sanitize your work space yourself. The BEST first step is to acquire a state-of-the-art fresh air machine that kills on surfaces & in the air! Since germs multiply throughout the workday, rather than having to constantly wipe down your desk, mouse, keyboard and telephone, by using this fresh air machine, you are working 24/7 to kill ALL germs! By having this unit at or near your desk, you can reduce the number of germs and bacteria in your work space by up to 99.9 percent.
And – it’s important to know that Mom Was Right! Wash Your Hands! Now your desk is clean and you’re feeling pretty superior. Don’t relax just yet. Be wary of carrying germs from other dirty office locales back to your oasis of cleanliness. The water fountain handle and the microwave door handle placed in the top five of foul office spots. What’s an office drone to do? Hand washing should become another regular habit. By “hand washing,” I don’t mean a quick swipe under the faucet. To ensure hands become germ-free, squirt a generous dollop of soap onto your paws and rub-a-dub-dub for a good 15 or 20 seconds before rinsing. Avoid touching contaminated surfaces afterward. Use a paper towel to turn off the faucet so you won’t sully your freshly-washed palms. Try sudsing up before and after you eat, every time you use the bathroom, cough, sneeze, touch a door knob or an elevator button. Otherwise, your dirty mitts will contaminate your pristine desk and put you right back at risk for cold and flu, among other nasty afflictions. Meticulous Measures Is there a germy residue taking up residence at the bottom of your “World’s Best Salesman” mug? Probably, if you’re not scrubbing it after each use. Coffee cups need to be heated to 170 degrees (far hotter than tap water) for 30 seconds after being washed with heavy-duty cleanser. Pop them in the dishwasher if one is available. If not, take them home to clean or use disposable cups. Pitch the sponge you’ve used since the Clinton administration –- it’s time for a change. Replace sponges frequently because their nooks and crannies are the perfect environment for mold and mildew to flourish. You can disinfect a damp sponge by microwaving it on high for a minute or so. Just make sure to clean the microwave first … with a different sponge.
You Can’t Take It With You! Perhaps you have witnessed a co-worker sneak into the bathroom carrying a newspaper or magazine. Maybe you regularly make a lavatory pit stop following a long meeting. During these bathroom breaks, you might carefully place your Blackberry on the counter next to the bathroom sink. Perhaps you have even made a quick call from the stall. Consider that these items can become contaminated and then spread germs and bacteria wherever you carry them. Next time, think twice before bringing your phone, PDA or other materials into the restroom. Keep It Clean Imagine a life with fewer colds and clearer skin. This vision probably doesn’t bring to mind a spectacular change in your quality of life.
