Move different.

Only thirty minutes of being physically active each day will help put you on the road to a healthy life. If you are not someone who naturally gravitates towards sports or exercise, start by beginning to think of yourself as an active person.

What does an active person do? They move. Whether its walking, doing chores, gardening or climbing stairs instead of taking an elevator, active people move through life instead of just sitting.

If you are seeking weight loss, being active should include some form of aerobics, strength training and flexibility building. It is important to check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

 

Know your filter.

Filtration is a key to protecting your family from the dangers of contaminated water. But all filtration is not the same. OneFamily.com discovered a new technology developed by Seychelle Environmental Technologies effectively reduces up to 99.8 percent of toxic chemicals, harmful microscopic pathogens and heavy metals in addition to chlorine, sulfur, odors and dirt.

The micro-porous plastic body of the filter contains thousands of interconnected omni-directional pores, each being a uniform two microns in size. In addition to pore size control, the micro-porous filters have three proprietary medias impregnated within that are coordinated carefully for the reduction of potentially harmful contaminants. The system combines different concepts of filtration including adsorption, absorption, chemical bonding and chelation

Studies done in Europe show that saw palmetto berry extract has the ability to reduce the level of DHT in the prostate by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase and blocking DHT from binding to prostate cells. Additionally, the extract has anti-inflammatory property that helps reduce the swelling of an enlarged prostate. Produced by a North American dwarf palm tree, the berry was consumed by American Indians and used as a natural remedy for treating urinary tract infections and enlarged prostates in the early part of this century. In the late 1960's, French and German researchers rediscovered the berry and it is now a major treatment for BPH in those countries.

A study of men taking Vitamin E supplements reported a 34 percent drop in risk. Additionally, lycopene, found mainly in tomatoes, has been shown to lower the incidence of prostate cancer. In one 1995 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, men with the highest intake of lycopene had a 21 percent lower risk of prostate cancer than men with the lowest intake. Zinc has been reported to inhibit 5 alpha reductase in the prostate and is widely used in Europe to treat prostatitis because of the belief that it defends against infection.
