An Apology To Readers – (Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa!)

By: Barbara Morris

Last month, I wrote a semi-scathing article to air my views about tattoos on women. I still don't like them -- that hasn't changed. Tattoos still send a negative message about how a woman feels about herself. I will stick to my belief that women are as beautiful as God made them, and decorating the body with permanent designs, no matter how beautiful, is an offense to God. … [Read more...] about An Apology To Readers – (Mea Culpa!

For The Love Of God – Part 3: Kingdom VS. Religion

By: Joyce Shafer

It happened again: I had a stack of notes, made over several weeks, ready for this month’s article then got a clear understanding in my spirit that I needed/we need to focus on Kingdom vs. religion. That adhering to any man-made religion will never equate to correctly living as an occupant of God’s Kingdom, as rightfully expected by the King of kings. Here in the USA, the … [Read more...] about For The Love Of God – Part 3: Kingdom VS. Religion

5 Easy Ways to Drink More Water

YOUR BODY'S MANY CRIES FOR WATER

It was about 1995 when I first became aware of one of the books that has had a strong, lasting influence on my life. It's "Your Body's Many Cries for Water by F. Batmanghelidj, MD. (The new version of the took is retitled "You're Not Sick You're Thirsty"). At that time, I was building my knowledge of anti-aging information, and the book just blew me away. I knew ample water consumption was important, but not to the extent that Dr. Batmanghelidj said it was.

I highlighted page after page because the information was so eye-opening. For example, Dr. Batmanghelidj writes on page 75: "Essential hypertension should primarily be treated with an increase in daily water intake. The present way of treating hypertension is wrong to the point of scientific absurdity." He continues to support his position.

If you take a diuretic to lower pressure, please DO NOT stop taking your medication just because you increase water intake. Allow your doctor to make that decision.

When I was working, I remember an older woman bragging that she NEVER drank water and hadn't done so for years. She drank Coke instead. Yes, she was taking several medications, one of which was to lower blood pressure.

When I bump up water consumption regularly, my skin looks better, and my brain is sharper. Try it. You will like it!
