HEALTH TRENDS


News to Quench Your Thirst

Chlorine or ozone? Municipal water systems add chlorine to the water supply to kill harmful microorganisms. But producers of commercially bottled water prefer to add ozone for disinfection. Why? This toxic toxic gas leaves less taste in the product. (US environmental Protection Agency, September 2005.)

US schools ban soda. In a move to combat shildhood and adolescent obesity, most Us high schools will only offer diet soda, as well as sports drinks, lowfat milk, water and fruit juices. Elementary and middle schools will make unsweetened juice, lowfat milk and water available. The changes are scheduled to go into effect beginning with the 2008-2009 school year. (Los Angeles Times, 2006.)

Your skin may be thirsty. Many people are aware that the human body is approximately 70% water. Less widely known is that water also composes 70% of the skin. As with any other part of the body, skin needs constant hydration to replenish its water content, and maintain its firmness and flexibility. (American Water Works Association, 2006.)

Manage your weight with water. Foods with high water content can help you control your weight. How? They have more bulk and thus satisfy feelings of hunger more quickly. High-water content foods, such as fruits and vegetables, also slow absorption so the stomach remains full longer. (WebMD, 2006)

Cold vs. Hot. Drinking plenty of ice-cold water may also help give the body a small boost in metabolic rate, because cold water can trigger the release of energy for heat. (MSN Health, 2006)

PiMag Vitalizing Shower with Vitamin C


The most important ingredient in your shower is not the soap, the shampoo or conditionaer. It the water. The Pimag Vitalizing Shower is designed to trnsform the water you shower in. With the Vitalizing Shower, your shower can do more-helping you to feel refreshed and revitalized.
FILTRATION REMOVES CONTAMINANTS
What is in your shower water and what is not in your shower water both make a difference.
The first stage of the PiMag Vitalizing Shower contains a filter that reduces water contminats. These may include dirt, large particulate matter, rust and oodors. Your shower water is made instantly cleaner.
pI CERAMICS, FAR INFRARED, NEGATIVE IONS-CREATES PIMAG WATER
Next, the flow of water is subjected to several proprietary Nikken technologies.
Pi ceramics and Far-Infrared Technology transform water into PiMag water. This "water of life" was first discovered by scientists more than 30 years ago, in a remote region of Japan. Far-Infrared energy is found in all living matter. With this technology, Nikken successfully duplicates the conditions that creat pi water in nature, to give you this amazing discovery in your shower.
Ionic Technology is another Nikken innovation. Certain natural settings-such as forests and waterfalls-have an atmosphere rich in negative ions. These areas impart a feeling of relaxation and calm. Nikken adds Ionic Technology to the PiMag Vitalizing Shower to reproduce this feeling.
VITAMIN C-NATURAL CHLORINE NEUTRALIZER-AND MORE
The water in your household plumbing contains chlorine. This chemical can dry skin and leave hair lifeless and brittle. So getting rid of chlorine can make a better shower. But what is the best way to accomplish that?
Instead of using a synthetic substance to counteract chlorine, the PiMag Vitalizing Shower adds vitamin C. This vitamin binds to free chlorine, effectively neutralizing it. An ingenious way to solve the chlorine problem.
MAGNETS AND VORTEX-TECHNOLOGY TO OPTIMIZE YOUR SHOWER
The PiMag Vitalizing Shower includes a ring-shaped, 1,200 gauss magnet, so that water passes through a strong magnetic field.
Additionally, a circle of angled vanes acts to spin the flowing water and create a tornado-like course inside the chamber. This is similar to the vortex technology found in the Nikken PiMad Optimizer 11.
FOR ANY SHOWER
The PiMag Vitalizing Shower is easy to install in seconds. It fits any standard plumbing fitting and showerhead, and operates under normal water pressure. Two complete units are supplied in each box.
The vitamin C cartridge, filter and PiMag element are replaceable. When it's time to insert a replacement component, the high-impact, pressure-tested filter body can be opened and reassembled easily. An O-ring seal keeps it watertight.
BECAUSE SHOWER WATER MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Remember that the water in your shower is jus as important as the water you drink. Studies indicate that up to half the elements absorbed in the body from water, come from the shower. Make sure that your daily shower is part of a lifestyle that supports wellness!!
SHOWER WATER MATTERS TOO
Why add vitamins to shower water? Because it's a natural way to neutralize chemicals and make for a better shower experience. The PiMag Vitalizing Shower includes advanced filtration, with pi-ceramics and Far-Infrared Technology to produce the "water of life." Negative ions are added through Nikken Ionic Technology. A special cartridge introduces vitamin C-one of the body's essential nutrients-to counteract naturally the effects of chlorine and condition the water, adding a pleasing scent and giving skin and hair a clean, fresh feeling after your shower.
A vortex rotor and a 1,200-gaus magnet complete the process. The PiMag Vitalizing Shower attaches to plumbing and any standard showerhead. Take a vitalizing shower and nottice the difference. I do every day.

My skin feels great because of the PiMag Shower System. The water is soft. It's like a shower in the rain. It feels great!!!-Marsha Williams

Whole-Food Supplements



Advanced Science Combined with Benefits of Nature.

Dear Reader,
Good nutrition is a major concern for you and your family. And it should be: Studies indicate that many of us do not receive the daily nutrients recommended for good health. In fact, 85 percent of Americans don't meet the daily recommendations! Whole-food supplements are fast becoming the convenient answer for a nutrient-poor diet, providing the kind of natural nutrition your body was meant to live and thrive on. From improved vision to less risk of cnacer, see why all-natural, whole foods can make a difference in your health...today and for years to come.


If you've ever made a fruit salad, then you likely know the chef's trick of sprinkling a little lemon or lime juice over the fruit to keep it from turning brown. In many ways, antioxidants are like that lemon juice. By consistently "sprinking" your body with antioxidants, you can prevednt your body from "browning."
Atioxidants are the anti-agers of the nutrient world, working to protect your body from free radical damage. Free radicals are highly reactive froms of oxygen that are missing an electron. When they come into contact with normal molecules, they try to steal an electron, damaging the healthy cell and its DNA. Antioxidants work to counteract the damage caused by free radicals.
You Truly Are What You Eat.
According to USDA, the Food Guide Pyramid, the National Cancer Institute and the American Heart Association, in order to ensure that you are getting plenty of antioxidants, you should consume at least two to five servings of fruits and three to seven servings of vegetables per day. That's a total of five to twelve servings of antioxidant-rich foods every day!
But the unfortunate truth is that 85 percent of Americans don't meet the daily recommendations, with 3 in 5 people not even reaching a combined total of five fruits or vegetables in any given day. Fortunately, there is an answer.
Produce Selection
You wouldn't just walk into a grocery store or farmer's market and pick up a piece of fruit or head of lettuce withut checking it out, would you? Of course not. You'd first determine if it was organic, if it was fresh or beginning to rot, and you'd check to make sure it was the proper color, etc. Well, you should choose your fruit-and veggie based supplement with the same care.
First and foremost, any product you choose should be made entirely from whole foods and organically grown, ideally in deep, nutrient-rich soil. Next, you'll want to be sure it offers a wide range of phytonutrients, enzymes and micronutrients. While there are a number of fruits and vegetables that provide this range of protection, it would be nearly impossible to eat all of these fruits and veggies every day. Your best bet is to find a high-quality product that contains all of them.

When choosing a fruit-based supplement, look for one that contains the following foods:

Cranberry; Papya; Pineapple; Strawberry; Blackberry; Bilberry; Apricot; Mandarin Orange; Plum; Blueberry; Grape; Cherry; Cherry; Rasberry; Orange

When choosing a vegatable-based product, be sure it contains:

Parsley; Kale; Spinach; Brussels; Sprouts; Asparagus; Broccoli; Cauliflower; Beet; Carrot; Cabbage; Garlic; Tomato

Fabulous Fruits, Beneficial Berries

Although fruits and veggies both offer antioxidants, as a rule they offer different types. Fruits and berries often have more vitamin C, while veggies offer more carotenoids and vitamins A and E. Let's take a look at some of these amzing fruits and berries in more detail.

Incredible cranberries

Cranberries and cranberry juice have been shown to have a myriad of health benefits, the most well-known of which is preventing urinary tract infections. But did you know that cranberries have also been found to prevent stomach ulcers, thanks to its ability to reduce the adhesion of certain bacteria-including E. coli and Heliobacter pylori-in your gut?

French studies have found that cranberries even have an "anti-adhesive effect" on bacteria in the mouth and may protect you against plaque builup and gum disease. And, thanks to a rich store of polyphenols and the antioxidant compound proanthocyanidins, cranberries may reduce your risk of developind cardiovascular disease by increasing you HDL "good" cholesterol levels.

Papayas-Digestion Heaven

Like cranberries, the exotic papaya has antibacterial properties and can also protect you against E. coli. But even more impressive is papaya's enzymatic capabilities, due in large part to its stores of papain-a critical protein-digesting enzyme.

Enzymes are an integral part of your energetic makeup. Not only do they digest, transport and transform nutrients in the food you eat, but they are responsible for bringing the resultant evergy to every cell, tissue and organ in your body.

Even something as basic as the beating of your heart is dependent on enzyme activity. In fact, there's strong evidence that raising your enzyme levels can help to balance your entire immune system.

But let's not forget about the digestive component of the equation. Papaya has been used to restore beneficial bacteria into your intestines, thereby increasing nutrient absorption and promoting better digestion. In fact, papaya has been used for centuries to treat over acidity and borderline ulcers.

In addition to papain, papayas contain other important phytonutrients, including arginine, amino acids, calcium, potassium, folic acid, beta-carotene and fiber.

Healing with Magnets for Depression


The front cover of New Scientist in August 1995 declared that "Happiness is a magnet!" It explains that Mark George and co-researchers at Washington's Nationl Institute of Health had found that applying very stron pulsating magnetic fields to the left pre-frontal cortex for 20 minutes every other day relieved depressive illness in a 40-year-old woman who had attempted suicide, had been admitted to the hospital five times, and had a long list of failed medication. The pre-frontal cortex is an area of the brain often found to be underactive in depressed patients.
The technique they used, called transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS), was pioneered in London's Institute of Neurology by Pat Merton and John Rothwell in the 1990s. It was first used to diagnose strokes, tumors, and other brain impairments, and then found applications in Parkinson's disease. The magnetic activity revives neural activity in a part of the brain often numbed in people with chronic depression, but the technique is still in an experimental stage.

The Power of Magnetic Bracelets

Bracelets containing high strength magnets can reduce muscle or joint pain anywhere in the body.
Magnetic bracelets can effectively reduce joint pain far from the wrist such as arthritic pain in the knee joints. Why is this?
The blood permeats the body, carrying with it energy-giving oxygen, the cellular and fluid components of the immune system, taking away waste gases such as carbon dioxide, and acting as a coolant or a heater depending on the need.
Apart from the saline solution that comprises about half of it, blood is composed of white and red cells and platelets. The platelets are there to assist in coagulation, and they do this as a result of their electric charges-oppositely charged platelets are attracted to each other and clump together. Red blood cells are negatively charged and are repelled by the walls of the arteries and veins, also negatively charged. This repulsive force helps them flow freely through the body. Provided it is strong enough, a static magnetic field speeds and improves the blood flow.
Each reb blood cell contains millions of hemoglobin molecules, each with a central iron atom that is affected by magnetic fields. Through a subtle method, which is still not fully understood but probably developed through evolution in the Earth's magnetic field, a static magnetic field helps hemoglobin carry out its task of carrying oxygen tot he muscle tissues. Once there, the oxygen fulfils its role as an electron acceptor in the final part of energy synthesis. So by improving the ability of hemoglobin molecules to carry oxygen, a magnetic field helps muscles to gain energy. With this extra energy, the muscles can work for longer before they become tired and start to ache.
Relieving joint pain.
As we age joint pain is common, because our joints wear out with use(osteoarthritis). As the surfaces in the joints deteriorate, the bones start to rub together. This generates electric fields, just as friction between your hair and a comb can generate a static electric field. My own research work with the body's endogenous fields convinces me that any unusual electric fields signal to the white blood cells that something foreign and possibly noxious is nearby, stimultting them into battle action. As Carlton Hazlewood has found, applying a static magnetic field can shift the white blood cells into the next phase of their cell cycle, which is accompanied by a dramatic reduction in pain.





Powerful Magnetic Bracelets
Our bracelets are a combination of high technology, style and comfort.
These extremely beautiful bracelets feature exclusive Magnetic Technology. As durable as they are beautiful. Available in distinctive styles that harmonize with any wardrobe.
The Cross-Link Gold-Plated Bracelet has the good looks of 23K gold plating. Or choose the Platinum-Tone Cross-Link. The Platinum-Tone Puzzle-Link is a thicker, adjustable-length design. These three bracelets are rated at 1,000 gauss.
