Enough Water= Better Health

What can I say about getting enough pure water? What can I say that has not already been said?  Dehydration is the most under rated health problem of our time? Our water supply is not what it used to be?  You have heard it all before, but let me repeat just in case you haven’t gotten it yet.  Water is important. Other drinks don’t count. If you are having health problems make sure you are getting enough pure water every day. Tap water is not pure. Neither is bottled water. Get a water filtering unit for your home, use glass to store water, and a tip you may not of heard before:  put a liquid trace mineral supplement in your pure filtered water and watch your energy levels increase. Your body will appreciate these trace minerals at a cellular level, and of course, that’s where your energy production starts!

DIY Health- are you balanced?

pH balance is one of the most important things to check in your body if you are having health issues. A imbalance in your pH can lead to inflammation, immune system challenges, and a host of symptoms such as stomach problems, allergies and chronic pain.  pH balance is easy to check, you can do this at home. Get yourself a package of pH test strips and follow the directions.  The directions will include a nice color chart to compare your test strip to after you wait the required time. You will also be instructed to “take an average” of your pH over a period of time.

This average will give you a good idea if your pH balance is off. If it is, search online for information on how foods effect your pH. Change your diet and continue testing your pH until you find a healthy balance for you. If changing your diet doesn’t get you back in balance, you can take all natural pH balance supplements,  I like Young Living’s AlkaLime.  Changing your diet can only be good for you if your pH is off, even if it’s not quite enough to balance you out.

DIY Health- A most effective tool for your "Doctors" bag.

Learn what homeopathy is, and get a good book on homeopathy for your home.  Homeopathy is safe, it’s effective if you choose the correct remedy, and if you choose the wrong remedy there are seldom any side effects.  Start building a kit of common remedies to keep on hand.  While you are at it, find out if there is a classically trained homeopath near you and file their number for future reference. I say classically trained, because in some states homeopathy is not licensed so anyone can read one book about the subject and claim to be a homeopath.  If you have to call on a homeopath for help, you want one that is really trained to do the job.

Start with the Basics

Preventing health care problems is a lot easier than “treating” conditions. Start with that. Are you doing everything you can to prevent problems? Are you drinking enough pure water? Are you eating all natural organic non- GMO foods? Are you getting enough rest? Are you exercising?  Do you have habits that are going to make you sick over time?

It amazes me the number of people that refuse to change these basic behaviors because it’s too much effort, but they are fine with spending enormous amounts of time,  energy and money researching their “condition” and going from one DIY remedy to another all the while getting more ill.
If you are going to practice DIY health care, start with the basics.
