My Personal Buying Mantra

Always read the label.  If you can not pronounce the ingredients, then do  not buy it.  If any ingredient has more than three syllables, then do not buy it.  If is is not organic, grass fed, free range then do not buy it.

I know you can not do this all of the time, but if you have this mantra running in your head when you shop you will keep a lot of junk out of your body and your health will show a lot of improvement.

When trying to keep the grocery bill down, organic produce can seem like an indulgence you just can’t afford.

It's true—in most cases, you pay more for fruits and vegetables raised with the extra care it takes to protect plants without chemicals. But what are you really bringing home with those savings? Chemicals known or suspected of causing cancer, harming the brain, and interfering with growth and development—not to mention killing off bee colonies that pollinate the plants in the first place.

How Much Water Does Your Body Need?

Here is a snippet from an article found on WebMD's web site

How Much Water Do You Need?

How can you know if you’re getting enough water to keep your metabolism cranking at peak efficiency and your digestive system functioning? The formula used to be “one size fits all” -- eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. But that’s changed, experts say.

“It depends on your size and weight, and also on your activity level and where you live,” Nessler says. “In general, you should try to drink between half an ounce and an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day.” For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, that would be 75 to 150 ounces of water a day. If you’re living in a hot climate and exercising a lot, you’d be on the higher end of that range; if you’re in a cooler climate and mostly sedentary, you’d need less.

I am going to start measuring how much water I drink each day.  Today I weigh about 190 pounds. My plan is to drink about 95 to 190 ounces or about 3 to 5 liters per day.  I will be using my Nathan trail running pack to carry my water around with me at work and when I am doing chores at home.
