Water For Life Ionizers – healthier water

by Tricia

I’ve noticed a trend over the last decade or so, probably you have as well. Everyone seems to be very concerned with the water that they are drinking. If you, like many others, want to drink water that is pure and healthy why don’t you take a moment and consider drinking ionized water.

It’s said that ionized water is similar to the fresh water that you can get from a glacial stream or iceberg. A water ionizer such as the models sold through Water For Life Ionizers emulates the same type of conversion as that of glacial water.

When you use a water ionizer the water is purified using a controlled low voltage electrolysis. This ionized water can help balance the bodies PH. Our bodies PH levels tend to be acidic due to the type of food and drink that we take in – processed foods and soft drinks tend to add more acid to our bodies than we need, or in fact can process properly.

There are testimonials on the web site written by people that use the Water Ionizer system who state that now that they only drink ionized water and also use it when cooking meals they feel healthier, have more energy and in many cases they’ve had a decrease in symptoms caused by chronic ailments such as arthritis and similar disorders. The people who have written the testimonials feel that by balancing their bodies PH, and as a result lowering the acid levels in their body, that they are feeling better than they have in a long time.

There’s quite a bit of information on the website. You’ll find information about the specific types of water ionizers sold by Water For Life Ionizers, as well as scientific and medical information provided by doctors and scientists, client testimonials, FAQ’s and other resources.

If you are interested in learning more about Ionized water and water ionizers I suggest that you visit the site and take the time to read through the vast amount of information on the Water For Life Ionizers website.

Storm Watch!

by Tricia

It’s hot here today! 31 Celsius (87.8 F) with a humidity factor bringing the temperature up to 40 Celsius (104 F). See I told you it gets hot and humid here in Toronto.

It’s been dark and kind of overcast for the last couple of hours, but just a few minutes ago it got almost as dark as late evening and the wind picked up like crazy.

A storm’s a comin!

Now there’s thunder and lightening but very little rain. So far.

This is the kind of weather that causes Tornado’s to spring up in the Southern Ontario region. I hope that one doesn’t, but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of a few towns that got hit by one.

Chances are also high that our power will go out at some point in the near future. A couple of years ago when there was a good storm like this one’s shaping up to be my husband and I heard a loud crack and saw a giant flash of light off to the east. Turns out it was a transformer that got hit by lightening and blew up! That kept the electricity out for a while!

Wish me luck?

I’m sure my plants will love the extra water and nitrogen in the air from the lightening … but I really hate thunder storms.

I’m neglecting my garden

by Tricia

The last time I was in the garden doing any work was more than a week ago. I tidied up the front garden beds and really meant to get to the backyard to finish the half that I had left to trim, prune and fix up, but I just haven’t got back there to do it.

Last weekend, not this one, last weekend we even went to a garden center and I bought some Tomato plants, cucumbers and a lot of other veggies as well as a few annuals to plant. Have I do anything with them other than water them three times? Nope!

I’ve just not been feeling well enough to get out there and get the work done.

It’s a shame really. The plants are surviving without me, but I know if I got out there and trimmed the dead wood off the rose, and pruned them into shape it would help stimulate them and make then grow a whole lot more. Also … I’d rather work with them now to shape them before they grow too much as it will be harder job and uh … more dangerous to my skin as they get bigger and fuller.

since I have more than 60 roses it’s quite interesting to take a look at my hands and arms after I’ve been working with them. I wear gloves but the thorns sometimes punch right through the gloves. I’ll come in after an hour or two of pruning and I’ll have scratches from the roses all the way up to my shoulders, or well … pretty close!

Is gardening a dangerous activity in your yard too?
