Change Your Water & Improve Family's Health and Happiness!

Happy 2018! We hope your new year is off to a great start. Today, we are going back to basic- Who am I? Water is a basic necessity and one of the most important resources for the existence of all creatures on earth, whether it is an animal or a plant. This is not only because the human body is comprised of 70-80% of water, but trillions of cells in an organism cannot grow, reproduce and function without water. This implies that the quality of water can either heal or harm us.  Without good water, human beings cannot be healthy. One important premise in life is that "without water, there is no life and without good water, there is no health and well-being." This also means that one will suffer from various types of diseases without water.  Our body consists of cells, and 70% of cells are water. Similarly, blood is composed of 83% of water. The foundations of our body and life are cells and blood directly leads to illness, water plays the most im...

An increasing number of people these days prefer drinking carbonated water, believing that it is good for digestion and for diet (weight loss). A friend of mine even  bought his own soda-maker (carbonator) at home and drink every day. From my understanding, "carbonated drink" contains carbon dioxide. If so, is it true that it is good for our body? The answer is NO.  According to Professor Chang of Kyunghee University Hospital (Department of Gastrointestinal Internal Medicine), "There is no existing clinical research that proves the special effects of carbonated water in our body." He added, "It is only a temporary change that the carbonated dioxide causes in the stomach." Professor Chang explains that in order for the digestive organ to work  well, either the gastrointestinal motility has to be active or the digestive enzymes  have to be secreted well. However, the carbon dioxide does not affect both the  gastrointestinal mobility and the secr...

A few months ago, I had my blood tested. Results showed that I was a bit high in cholesterol, which made me realize that it's time for me to change my daily eating habits. Many of us are aware that continued intake of cholesterol-LDL to be specific-results in accumulation of fats and sticky blood in the blood vessel, which eventually inhibit smooth circulation of blood. This can cause high blood pressure and myocardial infarction. Basic treatments in curing circulatory disease such as heart disease are to inhibit overindulgence of cholesterol and instead take healthy food that makes your blood clean and clear. Following is the list of food that will help you maintain clean blood. • Grains such as brown rice, beans, mung beans and black rice are known to be abundant in essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, fiber and minerals that help excrete bodily wastes and clean the blood. Mung beans in particular can help remove toxins in the blood, whic...

For the past few weeks, we have been discussing the  importance of drinking water  and its relationship with minerals, our body, and growth. Many people know that drinking water is good for health. Now the question has shifted from "why drink water" to "what kind of water to drink." In fact, people-non-scientists and non-experts-may be less interested to know about the scientific properties and formula of water. Instead, all they want to know is answers to questions such as "What kind of water should we drink? Or " What are the qualities of good water ?" To answer those questions, first thing we have to do is to go over the types of drinking water on Earth-what are the options that we can choose from. The following is the list of water that people normally drink: Ground Water / Spring Water Ground water is from an underground source that is under a pressure equal to or greater than atmospheric pressure. Similarly, spring water come...

How Dry Eye Syndrome  Affects Our Daily Lives...  Waking up in the morning, I have felt the unusual dryness of my eyes. Yes, the season for xerophthalmia has come. The dryness can be a little bothering for some, but for others, such symptom of blurred vision, gritty or scratchy feeling and itching or redness in the eye can affect their daily lives.

Also, this happens when lipid thin layer (ocular surface), which functions as a shield to protect eyes from drying up, is being damaged as a result of imbalance in tear constituents, thus resulting in quick evaporation of tears. People say that this usually occurs in people who are otherwise healthy caused by a de...
