Watermelon: Summer's No. 1 Fruit - Your source for alkaline water and sex drive - 0 views

  • May be good for sex – Citrulline is the special nutrient in watermelon that gives rise to arginine. One gram of watermelon flesh contains 1.5 mg of citrulline. When citrulline is converted to arginine, this can lead to the relaxation of the blood vessels, which is the same basic effect of drugs for erectile dysfunction like Viagra and Andros. Watermelon may not be as potent as these drugs, but it can still help the heart, brain and male sexual organ, too. And watermelon comes without the drug’s side effects. 5. Your source of alkaline water – The good news is that watermelon is made of 92% pure alkaline water. A lot has been said about the possible benefits of alkaline water. Compared to the acidic juices of oranges and pineapple (which may irritate people with ulcer and gastritis), watermelon is safe for your stomach. 6. Good for the mouth and digestive tract - Watermelon has health benefits for the whole digestive tract, starting from the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines. Watermelon can relieve the pain of people with singaw or mouth sores. Some experts claim that watermelon can also minimize bad breath. And as it goes down to the intestines, it can treat constipation and normalize your bowel movement.

30 Ways to Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke | Cholesterol | Reader's Digest | - 0 views

  • 20. Drink an 8-ounce glass of water every two hours. A study from Loma Linda University in California found that women who drank more than five glasses of water a day were half as likely to die from a heart attack as those who drank less than two. This is likely due to the fact that maintaining good hydration keeps blood flowing well; dehydration can cause sluggish blood flow and increase the risk of clots forming. Water works best when it comes to improving blood flow; soda is worthless.

Energy drinks jolt blood pressure, study finds - 0 views

  • The increasingly popular high-caffeine beverages called energy drinks may do more than give people a jolt of energy -- they may also boost heart rates and blood pressure levels, researchers said on Tuesday.
  • "We saw increases in both blood pressure and heart rate in healthy volunteers who were just sitting in a chair watching movies.
  • But the increases potentially could be significant in people with cardiovascular disease or those taking drugs to lower heart rate or blood pressure, they told a meeting of the American Heart Association in Orlando, Florida.

2007 WORST CONSUMER PRODUCT WINNER: Dasani Water, Yet it continues to grow in the US - 0 views

  •  
    In 2004, Coca-Cola was forced to take Dasani, off the UK shelves after a public outcry because it contained nothing more than tap water. As a result it's never made it to German or French shops. But sales of Dasani are still rising in the US and it is being strongly promoted in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and several other Latin American countries. Coca-Cola itself says that Dasani isn't spring water and that it is sourced from local tap water supplies. But from its marketing and packaging, one could easily think otherwise. Dasani promotional material gushes with terms like:

Fiji_Water: An Environmental Nightmare - 0 views

    From the environmental impact, you might as well be swigging down a pint of oil! All of a sudden that bottle of refreshing Fiji Water doesn't sound so refreshing!

  •  
    It is already clear that the manufacturing process and product distribution is energy-intensive and produces toxic byproducts, but there is another major environmental impact.
  •  
    Once they arrive in the United States, they're loaded onto trains and trucks, all powered by fossil fuels, and eventually warehoused, prodded with forklifts, loaded onto other trucks, shipped to other warehouses and eventually delivered to your local convenience store or drink machine.
  •  
    Bringing these bottles of water here from the other side of the earth involves packing them into cardboard boxes. In the South Pacific this often means rainforest cardboard, produced from rainforest destruction.
  •  
    Seventy-two percent of those emissions came from manufacturing raw materials, bottling and ocean freight. Overall, the average energy cost to make the plastic, fill the bottle, transport it to market and then deal with the waste would be "like filling up a quarter of every bottle with oil."
  •  
    Fiji Water has been criticized for the environmental costs embedded in each bottle. The production plant runs on diesel fuel, 24 hours a day. The high-grade plastic used to make the bottles is transported from China to Fiji, and then (full of water) to the United States.

  • Continue to enjoy your water based beverages.
    • sandy ingram
       
      You don't have to stop drinking your morning cup of coffee, your iced tea or even your orange juice from frozen concentrate.

The micro-clustering property of the Kangen Water will draw out more of the rich flavor from the coffee, giving you a great tasting cup of coffee using less grounds!

    • sandy ingram
       
      STOP drinking sodas, sports drinks, flavored waters and bottled water during this time. Remember, just one 8 oz. soda will counteract the beneficial effects of an average sized person drinking 3 days worth of Kangen Water.
