Headlines in a an article published by Everyday Health reads – “Dehydration Leads to Greater Stroke Damage”. More accurately it should read “Dehydration Leads to Greater Stroke Risk“. Dehydration is your enemy and it’s time to give it the blame that it deserves. The human brain is 85% water and the blood is 90% water. When the body is deprived of water, the consequences go well beyond what most people understand. We’ve replaced the body’s NEED for water with a beverage-of-choice and we no longer recognize the signs of dehydration. |
Dr. Paul Bendheim, a clinical professor of neurology from the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, says “there are no hard-and-fast rules for staying well-hydrated, despite recommendations to drink eight glasses of water each day“. That’s a no-brainer! Obviously the amount of water each individual needs depends on a number of factors; activity, weight and status of health just to name a few. Dr. Bendheim goes on to say, “prior research found that the majority of people are dehydrated when they have a stroke, but it’s not clear why”. How in the world can it not be clear why people are dehydrated? It’s interesting to note that most heart attacks and strokes happen in the middle of the night when the body is the most dehydrated. It’s a very good thing to drink water before you retire for the night! |
The 8 Glasses of Water a Day Rule is just THE MINIMUM needed to keep your organs functioning…but it sure isn’t enough to keep your blood hydrated and your veins free and clear! |
If you’re active, if you’re sick or if you’re overweight, you need a whole lot more than just eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day to equip the body to battle things like stroke or high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and a multitude of other conditions! Water is positively key to your prevention and recovery…you were wired that way! |
Seniors are generally more dehydrated than younger people primarily because we lose our sense of thirst as we age. We may need to be reminded to drink instead of waiting for the brain to trigger thirst. Lots of people set alarms to be reminded to take medications, perhaps it’s time to set up a reliable reminder to prompt you to drink water too. Relying on your sense of thirst won’t do the trick. By the time the average person “feels” thirsty, they are already chronically dehydrated and ready for disaster. |
Now that you know that stroke (among LOTS OF OTHER THINGS) can be triggered or worsened by dehydration, don’t you think it’s time to do something about it? |
How much research do you need to read before you take action to properly hydrate your body with W A T E R? It all comes down to basic biology. No amount of consuming any other fluids can replace the body’s need for water. In fact, most choice beverages actually cause the body to work harder just to rid itself of toxins introduced by replacing water with another beverage. |
If water is so important, don’t you think the kind of water you drink might be important too? Of course it is! It doesn’t make much sense to consume water that has no minerals whatsoever (causes the body to deplete itself of minerals from within which leads to degeneration) and it doesn’t make much sense to drink water that is laced with the chemicals necessary to make human waste potable. After you make the decision to consume the amount of water your body needs; you’ll need to decide what kind of SAFE and HEALTHY water you’ll be introducing to your body. There aren’t a whole lot of options when you look at it that way! Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) is the ONLY way to go for me and my family. After doing our own research; the choice was easy for us. How much research (and testimonials) do you need to see before you embrace Electrolyzed Reduced Water as being the most beneficial water for the human body? |
I know that my days are numbered but I don’t buy in to the idea that I’m supposed to rot prior to my death, so I’m giving my body what it needs to avoid things like stroke, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, etc., instead of looking for a pill to fix my problem later. After all, there is no cure for any disease whatsoever. With that in mind, it’s time to FIGHT FOR HEALTH! |
Do yourself, your brain (and the rest of your body) and your family a favor. HYDRATE NOW! |
Your Bones Are ALIVE And They Need Your Attention! |
Most of us take our bones for granted unless we’re faced with a crisis like a broken bone or a fractured hip. Our bones are very much alive and they need our attention if we want them to “stand up” to the job that we ask them to do day-after-day and year-after-year. |
More than 250,000 people over the age of 65 break a hip each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s interesting to note that most of the time people don’t fall a break a hip…they break a hip and fall. How’s that for brittle bones? Demographic reports suggest that 10,000 people a day are turning 65 and that this will continue for the next 17 years! It looks like we have a lot of bone problems on the horizon if we don’t take action to protect them! |
Contrary to popular belief, men are at risk too. About 1 in 5 men will break a bone due to osteoporosis. In fact, men claim 1 out of every 3 broken hips worldwide. Sadly, both health and quality of life can plummet after a hip fracture. It’s alarming to note that 37% of men die within a year after they break a hip — twice as many as women, found a 2014 study published by the International Osteoporosis Foundation. This speaks volumes to the poor condition of the overall health of those battling brittle bones. It’s time to give your bones (and all of the rest of you) the attention they deserve! |
Are You “Bad to the Bone”? |
Our bones consist of 25% water. If you aren’t efficiently hydrating your body, your bones (and the rest of you) will pay the ultimate price. This is just one of the reasons that the elderly often have hip and knee problems. We lose our sense of thirst as we age and if we don’t make a conscious effort to drink lots of healthy water (naturally laced with minerals), we will be living in a state of chronic dehydration and the bones will begin to break down…and that’s just the beginning! |
Red blood cells don’t last long in the bloodstream so they need to be replaced continuously by new cells, which originate in your bone marrow. This area in the center of the bone is a spongy tissue that churns out billions of new, mature blood cells each day (wow!) just to keep us supplied with the oxygen and energy we need. If we refuse to give the body the amount of (and the quality of) water it needs, this entire system begins to fail. Drinking plenty of healthy water is a very small price to pay to sustain health. |
How Are You Neglecting Your Bones? |
1. You overlook calcium. Adults need about 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day to keep the bones in good shape. A huge source of calcium is healthy, mineral-laced water. Unfortunately most people are replacing healthy water with useless bottled water (all minerals have been removed). So in addition to not consuming enough healthy water to stay hydrated, you’re robbing minerals from your bones to make up for the minerals that are not in your drinking water. Does that make sense to you? I sure hope not! Change you water…change your life! |
Calcium is just part of the equation though. In addition to calcium, daily magnesium, protein, and vitamin D are essential. Vitamin D increases calcium absorption by as much as 50 percent Since we avoid the sun like the plague these days, it’s important for many of us to supplement with a daily dose of Vitamin D. |
2. Digestive conditions increase your risk of having weak bones. These include inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, and anorexia nervosa (according to the National Institute of Health Osteoporosis Resource Center ). It is important to note that the leading colon specialist in the world, Dr. Hiromi Shinya, recommends proper hydration with Kangen Water® for colon health. He has examined the colon of thousands of patients before and after a Kangen Water® protocol and the results are astounding. If you suffer with digestive issues, you need to write your own prescription for Kangen Water®. |
How Are You Damaging Your Bones? |
1. Treating your GERD/acid reflux with meds. Bone loss can result from the use of antacids that contain aluminum, which can deplete your calcium supply; this includes products like Alamag, Maalox, or Mylanta. Even the commonly used drugs that treat heartburn — Prilosec, Nexim, and Prevacid — may lead to bone loss, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Alkalize the body and say “good bye” to these digestive issues instead of opting for meds that may be destroying your bones! |
2. Taking steroid medications like Cortisone, Prednisone, or Desxamethasone can cause debilitating bone loss over time, notes the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF). You may have taken steroid meds — also called glucocorticoids or corticosteroids — to treat rheumatoid arthritis, asthma or allergies, lupus, Crohn’s disease or cancer. The root cause of these conditions is inflammation and chronic dehydration. Drink ionized, alkalized, electrically charged water and you’ll likely be able to nix the steroids as your body begins to mend itself. EXPERIENCE IT 100% RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. |
3. Phenobarbital is often used to treat seizures as well as anxiety and insomnia. How many people do you know that “need a little something” to help them sleep or to manage stress? The drug is sometimes habit-forming and often misused. Dilantin, another anti-seizure medication, is also linked to bone loss. |
4. Moderating your alcohol intake is important for bone health. Too much alcohol keeps you from getting the nutrients strong bones need. Abusing alcohol leads to bone weakness and a greater risk of breaking bones. If you consume alcohol remember; less is always best. |
So you see, your bones are very much ALIVE and badly in need of your attention. |
Are you going to give them the attention they deserve or will you hold out for surgery and pain killers? Just askin’. |
If you decide that it’s time to take control of your own health, reach out to me! I’ve got a solution that may even outlive you and it’s a game-changer when it comes to your health! |
WANT TO SEE WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT WATER? |
I Believe from Kangen Pro Tools on Vimeo. |
I Lied About Alkaline Water! |
It is said that “the truth will set you free” so here goes…I lied about alkaline water. I have been busy preaching the benefits of alkaline water without understanding that long-term use of alkaline water can be detrimental to your health! It is vitally important to good health that we keep the body in an alkaline state, however the method that we use to accomplish this can “make or break” us. An alkaline diet is a great start but it’s just not enough to maintain the balance needed. Water is a crucial component. |
There is a HUGE difference between alkaline water and alkalized water. How can you tell the difference? That’s easy! Alkaline water is enhanced with minerals and it can be tested with a standard pool-type pH strip because pH strips react to a chemical change. Alkalized water will not change the color of a pH strip because there are NO added minerals or chemicals used in the process. Alkalized is produced by the introduction of electricity and therefore it must be tested using pH drops. |
Alkalized water is water that has been modified with the use of very high voltage electricity. If the electrical influence is strong enough. it will create was is referred to as “dissociation of water”. |
Dr. Michael Donaldson (below) has become an expert on the impact of alkalized water on the human body and he explains the differences between alkaline and alkalized water much better than I can. I encourage you to preview this brief explanation. This is key to your health! |
The bad news is that I offered an “uneducated” version of the need for alkaline water. The good news is that the source that I’ve been recommending all along produces ALKALIZED water NOT alkaline water. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better…. |

If you’ve ever wondered how food suppliers could possibly get by with deceiving the public about what we’re really eating just look in the mirror! We are their secret weapon. |
Since water is the #1 requirement for health (and life) it’s important to understand what you are (and are not) drinking too! Don’t let your willful ignorance get in the way of making wise decisions about the water you and your family drink! |
The Water Quality Association has awarded Kangen Water® the Gold Seal for water quality (aka healthy water) year after year. |
With over 30 million people across the globe already drinking Kangen Water® isn’t it time you got on board too? |

Too Cheap to Protect Your Health? You’ll Be Sorry! |
Some things in life are clearly superior to others of like kind. Here is one of my favorites. |
Stradivarius violins…there are none in the world like the violins mastered by the Stradivari family in the late 1600’s. These instruments are famous for the quality of sound they produce. Many attribute the difference to the wood used, the region the wood came from, the environmental conditions during the growth period of the wood and the minerals used to “finish” the wood. An original Stradivarius violin is not like any other in the world and it is deserving of the praise it receives. |
I remember taking a tour of a temperature controlled private facility that houses only the finest things in the world. This facility has armed guards 24/7 and every security measure known to mankind to protect the magnificent items stored there. In one room was an original Stradivarius violin. It was the only thing in this room and it had its own guard. Carefully stored in a temperature and humidity controlled glass case this violin was gently removed from its case twice a day and played by a master violinist just to be sure that it was being cared for in the way it was intended to be and that it is maintained to “perfection” at all times. It was a magnificent sight to see. It’s worth? Millions. |
What’s my point? My point is that your health is worth far more than the finest Stradivarius and yet we skimp, we cut corners, we ignore the obvious and then freak out when the body “cries wolf” and it quits working. Frankly, some people are just too cheap to protect their own health. They prefer to spend their money on indulgence instead of maintenance. Rest assured, that precious Stradivarius would not be so special if it was not provided the finest “care”at all costs 24 four hours a day. Your body is no different. To maintain “perfection” you can’t continue to ignore what it needs. |
We are what we breathe, what we eat and what we drink. Quality is worth every penny you pay for it and THEN some. Do whatever you have to do and sacrifice whatever you have to sacrifice to buy non-GMO and organic foods. Take the highest quality supplements you can get your hands on AND last, but certainly not least, hydrate your body with the absolute healthiest water you can find. None of these things are cheap but you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to quality products for your health. I think you’re worth it! Do you? |

New Recent Purchases Forum! Update! |
Discussion in 'Recent Oakley Purchases' started by OakleyBoss, 5/29/11. |
So, I realized the Recent Purchases thread was getting kinda long and conversations were beginning to overlap and get mixed, so I figured I would make a whole section for New Oakley purchases. Now you can see the title of the product, check out pics and talk about it all. I broke up the old thread so nothing would be lost and all of the posts now have there own threads titled with the product that was featured. |
The Recent Purchases area is just about talking about what you just got, post some pics, announce your most recent buy, or whatever you want. Just come by make a topic with the title of what you bought and talk about it. Nothing is formal, you don't have to write a "review", you don't even need to post pics(though us Oakley addicts do love them ), just come by and give a shoutout with what you got and we can talk. The only thing I would reccommend is to name the topic after what you got, that way we can find everything and browse easily. |
Hope you guys enjoy and feel free to leave some feedback and thoughts! |
Squishyslug and David Alley like this. |
thanx Boss, it looks much nicer now! |

Everyone needs a bike to roll around on when they’re not on a group ride, racing off road, or training for the Olympics, and The Shadow Conspiracy and LA streetwear kings The Hundreds have created just the right 26 inch BMX bike for doing that. |
The one-of-a-kind bike comes with an old-school drop nose seat adorned by a sublimated custom graphic and retro-inspired pad set. This bike isn’t just a looker, built with the guts and glory of The Shadow Conspiracy proprietary custom parts, including their signature Shadow Chain. |
The bike, along withmatching jersey, tees, pullover, and hat, to go along with it, will be released tomorrow, March 28, 2019. If you want to check it out, roll by The Hundreds on Fairfax in Los Angeles at 5:30 PM for an “LA Mash” to Lock & Key on Vermont. For all the details, follow the jump. |
The Shadow Conspiracy’s bloody, brutal, black-and-blue motif have been a staple of the brand since the beginning and show how many times you have to fall before you stomp it and achieve success. While the bike collaboration focuses on brighter colors and shiny chrome, Shadow’s attitude still shines through on the collection of clothing and accessories being released alongside it. The limited edition capsule features a collaborative jersey made of moisture-wicking coolmax mesh, as well as a dual-branded graphic T-shirt, pullover hoodie, and snapback. |

Nothing like the last day of the month to do my monthly update, right? February was a very hectic month, so unfortunately most of my reading was postponed until the end of the month. |
* Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson (reread) – This was my second reading of this particular book. The first time I read it was actually in college for a Children’s Lit class. I remember loving it the first time and the second time was no different. |
Bridge to Terabithia centers around the friendship between its two main characters – Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke. The two are unlikely friends, but their mutual awkwardness and shared tendency to behave “differently” from the status quo is enough to create a lasting bond. Together, they create their own magical land, the namesake Terabithia, where they go to escape their ordinary, if not depressing, lives. The story takes a turn when tragedy strikes Terabithia and Jess is forced to deal with things far beyond his ten or eleven years. At that point, it’s probably best to just go ahead and grab your tissues. |
My Take: Finding Bridge to Terabithia on “the list” was no surprise. This is one of those books that makes you reevaluate life and love. I appreciate that this book, written for very young adults (preteens even), touches on some very heavy topics in a way that is super-relatable. Being a teacher of young children allows me to read these kinds of books through a completely different lens. I see the Jesses and Leslies of the world every day in my own classroom – the kids that don’t quite “fit in” because maybe their family is a little bit different or they interested in something considered unusual for their age, gender, whatever. I’ve seen the way their lives change when they find that one friend with a common soul who understands and accepts them as they are. I want that for every child. It also makes me sad to think about how many kids out there are like this, but never find that one friend who will change their life… Overall, this book is an easy read with a big message and definitely worth the minimal time it takes to read. I dare anyone to try to get through the whole thing with dry eyes! |
Frindle is story about young Nick Allen who has a knack for causing minor “disturbances” at his elementary school – things like transforming his third grade classroom into a tropical paradise… and getting his first-year teacher to buy into it! However, after meeting his all-business fifth grade teacher (Mrs. Granger), Nick’s escapades seem to be in jeopardy. That is, until he spontaneously decides to create a brand-new word: frindle (to name the object formerly known as a pen). His seemingly harmless prank catches some steam and soon the word has grown beyond Nick’s control. Meanwhile, Mrs. Granger is doing everything in her power to thwart frindle-users everywhere. |
My Take: First of all, I love lovelove the character of Nick! I love the way his mind works and that his portrayal does not stay true to any one stereotype. He’s smart, but not nerdy. He’s unusual, but not a “weirdo.” He’s a bit mischievous, but not mean-spirited. Secondly, I love that this book, written for elementary- and middle-schoolers, isn’t focused on the social issues they may face at school, but rather on a child’s growing curiosity and innovation. So many books directed at this audience tend to deal with those social issues (admittedly important in more than one way), but I feel like we have a generation of children who need to know that creativity is important too. I feel like they need permission to take risks and to think outside the box, and more importantly, to want to have an impact beyond their immediate scope. Frindle at first glance is a funny story about a silly, made-up word, but the implications of what Nick created reach towards a greater purpose and hint at what can happen when kids make up their mind to change even one small part of their world! This book left me smiling and inspired to think big… Another easy, but worthwhile, read! |
So… what do you think? Has anyone else read Terabithia or Frindle? Do you agree with my reviews? I’m excited to hear everyone’s thoughts! |
Since meeting Tiffany almost three and half years ago, she and I have bonded over many things – our students, our shared teaching beliefs, our love of chocolate and other delicious food stuffs, our mutual devotion to television… We share “new finds” with each other all the time. I tried to give her a heart attack by making her watch 24 and she got me hooked on Revenge, Scandal, Gilmore Girls, and more. We also have a shared obsession with great young adult novels. For her birthday last year, I got her the Divergent box set and she introduced me to the Matched series. We read and talked, saw the movies and felt like we had a pretty good grasp on the world of young adult novels… until we found the list! In Tiffany’s post, she mentioned that she was disappointed that she had only read about a third of the list. I was more shocked than disappointed. I thought for sure that I would have read more of them! I felt very confident in my supreme knowledge of the genre. Alas, I too had only read about one third of the books! So, here is my list – divided into new books and rereads! Any surprises? |
6. Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret. |
As promised, here is my version of the list, divided into “new reads” and “rereads.” To be honest, I was pretty disappointed that I had only read about a third of the entire list! |
Is it weird that I’m actually more excited about getting to reread some old favorites than something new? |
If you’ve read anything I haven’t, leave a note in the comments section so I will look forward to some of the others! |
Welcome to the Young Adult Book Challenge! |
Long story short, my friend Ashley and I are always looking for new things to read, particularly young adult novels. We had originally toyed with the idea of a 2015 new YA challenge list that was put out by Buzzfeed… then I came across this list of The 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time put out by Time.com. I knew this was the challenge we should pursue. |
Of course, we had to start a blog about it! |
