Drinking Water

We all know what they are saying about our planet, how the ozone is depleting, and oceans are getting toxic and the water and air we breathe is slowly becoming dangerous for us to consume.  Well I don’t know about you but I get tired of hearing all this some days I just want to know that all is well with the world. But unfortunately this I am afraid might never happen.   

 My problem is every time I turn on my water a nasty smell arises from the faucet makes me not want to consume it. The water people (I don’t honestly know there names) have been out to test it several times but came to the same conclusion, it is not unhealthy to drink just stinky from all the minerals.  They also told me to check out some companies who sell clean drinking water but also they told me that the soft water and or the water filters will help with the smells and tastes.

So here is my dilemma which water company is the best?  I have done the initial investigating but want some input for others who actually use one of the following companies.http://www.raynewater.com/

Recently I was checking out a few blogs that talk about aging.  Here is one I found that was really good! http://www.fixaging.com/ I really liked the articles about What will you look like when you are older? as well as Ending aging won’t lead to overpopulation. With the recent burst in retirees “Baby Boomers”, several of them being my parents and in-laws, the population is spending more time on retirement plans, health insurance and finding ways to live a better healthier life. I recently learned of a few great ways to help a person do this. One is products and two is services that are readily offered today.

For example I found Compression Stockings from a company called http://www.contourmd.com for my dad who suffers from poor circulation, and I have also learned that my mother-in-law uses clogs that she found on a medical site called http://www.scrubcenter.com where even the doctors and nurses go to get shoes that offer great comfort and support, and in my mother-in-laws words they really are good for her “old dogs”. Then two years ago my mom went through a mastectomy she then decided to have follow up breast reconstruction to help her look and fell better about her self and is now considering a tummy tuck from the same company who helped her with her breast enhancement http://www.ebreastaug.com/.

Another way of growing older is taking on a new career. Here is one company you can do that with ans know that you are helping other live a heathier life. http://www.chac.edu. CHAC will prepare you for a rewarding career in massage therapy.

Now I know that there are many other areas that people focus on to achieve a healthier life but I only mention these because I have seen personally how important it is to find great products and services to help the “Baby Boomers” prepare and enjoy their retirement years.
