It’s first thing in the morning and you’ve just drunk 18 oz of water.
Before you drink the next 6 oz, still one hour before breakfast, take a small organic lemon, roll it on the counter to soften its juice cells, cut it in half and squeeze all its juice into the 6 oz of water [...]
We’ve all read the goal numerous times: we need to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Or ten or six or….
And we know there’s a correlation between how warm it is outside, our energy output, our diet, and our thirst. In other words, we are more likely to drink more when it’s hot outside [...]
Keeping one’s body hydrated is such a basic necessity, that most of the time, one doesn’t give it much thought. There’s the struggle to drink enough water and after that, and more likely, during that, we concentrate on other things.
How do we test for dehydration?
There seem to be many tests.
I watched a doctor test for [...]
I received an e-mail from Denise Johnson asking whether Savings, Naturally would consider donating a prize to the event she is organizing. She is a volunteer for an organization called DREAM (designing routes to education and mentorship). In her own words,
The environmental working group for the DREAM program is running a contest for the Dunnville [...]
Saving things comes fairly naturally to me. Saving time; saving money; saving energy; saving product.
I was born in Wales just after the Second World War. We were still on rationing. I can remember accompanying my mother into the shops. She would have her ration book in hand, picking up children’s orange juice for me that [...]
A friend of ours carried out an interesting litmus paper test this evening on water from the tap, water from the dispenser on their fridge, and San Pellegrino, a bottled mineral water product. The San Pellegrino was the closest to neutral (neutral is 7 pH) at around 6.5 pH, while the water dispensed from the [...]
I remember a German au pair girl – Elke – who came to stay with me and my family when the children were little. She wouldn’t have anything to drink with any of her meals. She said her parents always told her she shouldn’t. Why? Because if she did, it would kill (weaken?) the digestive [...]
It’s not typical to think of our skin as the largest organ in the human body. Yet, it’s the heaviest, it covers the greatest area, and it is the largest organ. The word “organ” is defined as a group of elements that perform a group of functions. Skin is made up of the epidermis (five [...]
I had the good fortune to work with Debrah Rafel of Wyndehorse Life Practises in 2004 for just one afternoon and I still remember it. She was doing a corporate wellness session and she talked about keeping hydrated and sleeping well, being energized and self-directed.
She shared an acronym with those of us at the session, [...]
Did you know that July 19 is Canada’s Parks Day? Amazingly, we had lunch with family and friends at our youngest granddaughter’s 1st birthday at Granville Island, one of Vancouver’s great parks. What a great location – right by the water park, the water slide, the sandpit, the grass. And the weather was perfect – [...]
