Good Health And Wellness Begins With Back To The Basics

It seems as if this is big on everyone's list these days. However it really isot as hard as all the food, vitamin and supplement manufacturers want you to believe. The truth is finding your way back to basics. We can live about 30 days without food yet only three without water, so the old adage about drinking is oh so true, however tap water with all the chemicals, bacteria and other undesirables included can be downright unhealthy ifot out right toxic to your body.

To avoid theseoxious impurities you should try to get your water supply through one of the following methods; purification, distilled, filtered or through reverse osmosis. One should be careful as to the amount of water one is taking in, as water when consumed in large quantities can become toxic to the body and has even been known to kill as was made headlineews by a recent radio show contest. One should watch how much water they are losing do to sweat that sometimes isot even apparent on the surface and should add a pinch of "sea salt"ot table salt to about one gallon of pure water to help replace the lost electrolytes.

During winter months in large parts oforth America, Europe and Asia canned often replaces these abundant sources of vitamins and minerals. When having to resort to means that move further away from the source it is advisable to increase theumber of fruits and vegetables. You should read the label and see what else they are sticking in there. Watch out for varieties that are loaded with salt and try to get theon-sodium or at least low sodium verity and low in bleached sugar.

As for the meat supply there is a raging debate going on around the world as to the health impact of growth hormones and other things added to our animals through injections, and feed sources. Ideally ones best source would be livestock grown on our own and fed purely through organic means and used as soon as possible after slaughter. Anyone that has had the fortune to have had the livestock grown and consumed this way would point out the richness and increased flavor of the meat is incomparable to the product one gets from their local supermarket.

One way you can get closer to this is to look for local slaughterhouses in your area, many have butcher shops that sell to the public by which you can buy your me
