Good Daily Rituals (Natural Answers)

Start the day with 2 o oz glasses of filtered water.  End with one.  Sometime over the course of the day, take an antioxidant, 25-50 mg B-complex, and 500-1000 mg Vitamin C.  Supplement those 3 morning and evening glasses of water with 2-5 more during the day.

Pack your diet with good fats:  fish, olives, nuts, seeds, and beans.

Filter wash water before using it.   More of the harmful stuff is absorbed through the skin during a shower or bath or doing dishes than you absorb from drinking it.

Water (Explanation of Types)

Spring Water:  Flows naturally from underground to the surface.
Mineral Water:  Contains sodium and calcium and sometimes other trace minerals.
Drinking Water:  Tap Water that has been cleaned further and bottled.
Distilled Water:  Has no minerals, which is actually not a good thing.  Distilled water is “hungry” water, chemically, and can actually strip your body of certain nutrients as it is absorbed and processed.
Reverse Osmosis Water:  Mimics the body’s own filtration, which is a good thing.
Sparkling Water:  One of the above, only carbonated.
