Five Reasons Why You Should Drink More Water Everyday
by: Jackie Stanley
1.
Drinking more water everyday will keep your skin looking smooth and supple.
Applying expensive creams and lotions to your face is not an effective way to conceal the effects aging has on your skin.
The real fountain of youth can be found in a glass of water.
2.
Drinking more water everyday will help you cut calories.
Most popular beverages are loaded with calories.
A can of soda can have as many as 240 calories per serving.
Drinking 1 or 2 of these each day is a recipe for gaining weight.
Choosing to drink water instead is the calorie free way to quench your thirst.
3.
Drinking more water everyday will help you distinguish thirst from hunger.
If you allow your body to become dehydrated it will be difficult to discern whether that gnawing feeling in your stomach is a call for food or a call for water.
And if you keep eating food when what your body really needs is water, you will gain weight.
4.
Drinking more water everyday will help your think more clearly.
Research has repeatedly shown that staying hydrated is necessary for the human brain, which is 85 percent water, to function at optimal levels.
That is why many school systems throughout the country now encourage students to keep a bottle of water at their desks and to drink it throughout the day.
5.
Drinking more water everyday will help you feel better.
Your body is about 75 percent water and 25 percent solid material.
Doesn?t it make sense that you would need to drink water on a daily basis to ensure that your body has all the water it needs to perform at optimal levels.
It is a mistake to believe that thirst is the only indicator of a need to drink water.
Constipation, achy joints and fatigue are also signals that your body may be dehydrated.

A Guide to Handling Lead in Drinking Water
A Guide to Handling Lead in Drinking Water
by: George Anderson
Although most modern homes have lead free plumbing installation, there are still millions of houses that have older plumbing and thus increase the chances of higher lead levels in water. In the last two decades, measures taken in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act have greatly diminished lead presence in drinking water. However, some metal water taps, pipes connecting homes to the main street pipe or interior water pipes might still produce such problems. Water that stays in pipes for several hours can get contaminated with lead resulting from corrosion of the pipe itself or of the soldering.
There is no other precise way to eliminate the threat of lead in your drinking water unless you have it tested for its chemical composition. The presence of lead cannot be detected by taste or smell, neither can you see the lead particles, as they are microscopic. Another approach...

Does Creatine Really Help Build Muscle?
by: Craig Rowe
If you are a gym rat or bodybuilder or simply interested in beginning an exercise program you have probably heard a lot about creatine and the muscle miracles it performs. Unfortunately, most people believe that creatine helps build muscle and it does in a way, but probably not the way you are thinking. The best way to describe creatine is to say that it helps the muscles help themselves build muscle. If that is not clear enough, continue reading.
Creatine does exactly what it claims to do and that is to retain water in your muscles. This is the point of creatine and it really is effective at keeping water in the muscles.

Prevent Water Damage in the Laundry Room
Prevent Water Damage in the Laundry Room
by: Terry Allen
The washer and drier are usually located in the laundry room and create heat and moisture. Simple maintenance is required to help avoiding water problems and mold.
The Washer
The washer is connected to both cold and hot water lines. Check them frequently. Start with the joints and fix a leak if you find it. Be sure to check both ends of the water lines. Clean or replace the filters once in a while. A blocked filter will slow the water flow into the washing machine, and may cause some malfunctions. This problem is worse in areas with ?hard water?. Inspect the shut off valve by looking for drips into the washing machine while it is not in use. If you detect a leak, replace the valve.
Hoses & Filters
Like in most appliances, problems often start in the hose. Keep at least 4 inches between the water connection and the back of the washer. This space will prevent the hose...

How to Remove Hard Water Stains
How to Remove Hard Water Stains
by: Brenda H. Murphy
If you happen to live in a location where there is a high level of lime, magnesium and calcium in your water supply, then you have what is referred to as hard water. And chances are that somewhere in your home, whether it is around a leaking tap, or in the tub where the water drips down the end, you have hard water stains.
How you remove these stains, depends on where they are. Phosphoric acid is the base of most cleaners, and even average household bathroom cleaners will have about 6% of this in the content. That may not be enough for stubborn stains or build up, however.
When you prefer not to use chemicals, you can first try soaking the area with white vinegar, and letting it set for half an hour. That should penetrate the residue enough that it can then be scrubbed or scraped off. If it doesn't, you may need a cream cleaner if you have stains on acrylic surfaces, or a vitreous enamel...

Hidden Costs of Landscaping
Hidden Costs of Landscaping
by: Janeth Duque
A complete makeover of your home?s landscape may not be possible. After all, there is no surprise that if you choose to completely re-do your landscape you will spend a great deal of money. However, there are surprising hidden costs in nearly any landscaping project, even some of the small ones. It is important to be aware of some of the costs that you might not normally think of before you begin a project. Otherwise, you will find that the project?s true cost is much more than you thought it would be, and you may discover that you might not have been able to afford your landscape change after all.
Perhaps the most hidden of landscaping costs involves features that require lighting and water. Many people think only of the cost of the equipment, and the cost of putting it in (which is minimal if they put it in themselves). They fail to consider how much money they will spend in the form of paying for...

Forward Thinking With Reverse Osmosis
Forward Thinking With Reverse Osmosis
by: Christopher King
Reverse Osmosis is a system of filtration that is highly effective at removing even the smallest particles from a liquid.
It is also known as Hyperfiltration.
The Reverse Osmosis process can remove particles as small as a dissolved individual ion.
The most popular use for this process is in the purification of water for human consumption.
Reverse Osmosis uses a semi-permeable membrane that allows the water to pass through it, while ensuring that contaminants do not.
Reverse Osmosis systems have come a long way in recent years, and many people have installed them in their homes to ensure that their family is drinking clean, pure, healthy water.
Many families are rightly concerned about the quality of water they are consuming.
As evidenced by various stories in the press, people cannot always be sure that their tap water is clean...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Are You Often Tired? Searching for a Cure?
by: George Alarcon
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is probably one of the most misunderstood diseases in existence today. Many doctors continue to doubt that CFS is even a real disease. Some doctors think CFS is no more than a psychological disorder, or an extended symptom of another disease. CFS is an insidious disease with no absolute connection or root cause being yet discovered.
