Heart Rate Variability (HRV) testing is a non-invasive, medically approved, computerized system designed to access the state of health in an individual by determining the stress on the autonomic nervous system. Readings are so accurate they can predict heart attacks to within an hour. In preliminary testing HRV scores improved (up to 30%) within a
With so much discussion of the need to alkalize, one of the biggest questions on people’s minds is whether or not to drink alkaline ionized water. Much has been written on the subject by many well-intentioned individuals. However, the subject has been grossly oversimplified. Much of the information being circulated regarding the health

The brain is 85% water — its primary source of energy. But when water is limited, the brain calls for the next available energy source — sugar. And since insulin
Brain functions require electrical activity which is supplied by water. Perhaps this is why the brain has such a high concentration of water. Even though the brain is a comparatively small part of the body, it is allocated 20% of the total blood supply, supplying water, oxygen, and other nutrients to the brain on a
Water provides energy for every system in the body. This refers to the water we dirnk — not the water that is already tied up in other functions Adequate and regular water intake insures that water is constantly turning the hydroelectric pumps at every cell membrane carrying nutrients and removing wastes on a continual basis.
Normal respiration places a continual and ongoing drain on the available water in the body. Air sacs in lung tissue must be continually lined with water or they dry out. During extreme cases of water shorage, the body’s airways are constricted to reduce water loss; this is asthma. Asthma and many allergies are indicators of
When an old door becomes stiff and creaky, we know it is time to oil the hinges. In order to open the door more freely, we have to remove the debris and lubricate the hinge. The joints in our bodies are no differnent. Cartilage surrounds and protects the bones in our joints. It is like
