Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 EXACTLY!!! Tired of being tired, food cravings, exercise making me MORE tired. Getting myself tested for allergies was my next step. Looks like I didn't have such a stupid question afterall.... Thanx, Crystal Crystal Ratliff <xxcrys wrote: Hi, I know what you mean by not having any energy (I use to tell people that I was tired of being tired!) I found out that I have allergies (food and environmental) which causes me to be tired all the time; I never realized that I had allergies because my symptoms were mainly fatigue, cravings for the food I was allergic to, and headaches (a couple a times a week). Changing my eating habits has been an up-hill battle - I crave the foods I am allergic to (corn, dairy, and yeast -- Corn is in almost all processed food so that means I also have to learn how to cook.) As far as the environmental allergies (dog, cat, dust, ragweed, grass, trees, etc...) I am taking shots and making other changes in my home (getting rid of ALL carpets helped tremendously.) Just as side note to other people, I use to repeatedly try to get " into " shape. Unfortunately, it never worked. When I exercised I NEVER increased my energy level and I always believed that when people said exercise gave you more energy it was just a bunch of propaganda! I didn't realize that my environment and the food I ate, was making me tired and sick all the time. I plan to start exercising once I gain more control over my allergies. I don't know if your lack of energy is from allergies or something else, but I have learned one thing - you can try everything that works for everyone else, but if it doesn't fix YOUR basic problem, it won't work. Good luck on trying to increase your energy levels! > If you don't excercise, then why do you need more energy? Excercise alone > will increase your energy level exponentially.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 I wonder how that is... that it evaporates? DO you leave the water in an open jug? Or a closed one?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Hi, Bonnie I keep it in a plastic jug with a lid - a juice bottle? - so that it won't splash out. It doesn't matter - you will notice a difference in the taste. Yes, it just evaporates. There is so little chlorine in a bottle, you won't even notice a drop in the volume, but it will be chlorine-free. Enjoy. Morton BonnieBar wrote: > I wonder how that is... that it evaporates?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Morning Morton, At 07:26 PM 05/04/2002 -0400, you wrote: >If you don't excercise, then why do you need more energy? Excercise alone >will increase your energy level exponentially. We have all seen the different definitions of exercise and work. At times they are similar, and at other times, they are the same. The main reason I work the garden the way I do is for the exercise benefit. Sweat, sunlight, sore muscles, the whole smear. Back to your question " why do you need more energy " ? High energy levels are very important to work. Doing complex mental and stressful work one must feel super good and have high energy levels. Can you imagine a demolition crew with a low energy level? Often one gets caught up in a long term work projects of 24 to 36 hours. Ideally, he will still be fully functional after 18, 20, or 24 hours. Often anyone in this situation will not provide proper fuel and will have low energy periods. My usual daily foods work just fine for such situations. Trailmix, protein wafers, fruit, and of course gallons of water. While I have read the water book, ( two or three of them ) and many other articles on water, something still confuses me. Dr. Batmanghelidj stated that the brain could use water for energy, and went into some brief technical points of how this is done. I don't fully understand this but it seems to work. Over my lifetime, even before I read the water books, I always drank more water than the average person. Since I started drinking water in larger volumes, I never run out of energy. Maybe someone can explain how the brain uses water for energy, or.... does the supply of water only insure all the transportation systems are working 100%.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 ---Morton, What you are suggesting should help eliminate the cloudy white chlorine residues in the tap water. Very good comment. I have tried this with very good results. Although on the other hand,I do believe chlorine in liquids is a whole different scenario than chlorine in containers. It is my understanding that the chlorine Robin was referring to in the article was the chlorine contained right IN the PLASTIC bottles that hold our drinks. This chlorine in certain containers which she described, tends to leache out into the contents thereof over a period of time...and certainly quite a bit before the expiration date. <grin> The unsuspecting consumer is taking in this chlorine from plastic containers ( we all know the majority of our drinks are either in plastic or aluminum cans which are even more dangerous...and linked to altheimers)all unaware of the imminent risks involved. Containers pose a serious threat, more often than we like to think.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Hi JoAnn Expiration date?!? Lol. You seem to be talking about two things: chlorine in tap water (which will not make the water cloudy - water standing in pipes somewhat warmer will cause air bubbles dissolved in the water to come out of solution and cloud the water), and chlorine used to manufacture plastic bottles, to which I don't think she was referring. If you look at the bottom of a bottle of water bought in the store, you will see a number molded into it. This refers to the hardness of the bottle, or the stability of the compounds of which the plastic bottle is made. The higher the number, I think - I will check - the more stable the plastic. If you are concerned about the plastic bottle - I am not - use glass. And I don't think that it is chlorine which leaches out of plastic bottles, but I will check. When you say " Containers pose a serious threat, more often than we think. " , I think you should quantify the statement for it to have more meaning than scare tactics. Anyway, leaving the water stand overnight will cause the chlorine (which is a gas) to evaporate and leave the water in a drinkable condition.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Evening Wayne I guess that I shouldn't have, but when I asked " Why do you need energy? " , I was being (blush) sarcastic. The first impression which I got was that Lisa was being flippant, if that word can apply, in saying that she didn't have energy, in that I got the impression that she really would not use the energy if she had it - I wanted a response. One has to have a reason for wanting something. Yes, there are many ways of acquiring energy, but the first, if all else is well, is to get up and do something, and having reasons for needing it! If the spirit is willing, but the body is weak, then one has to look at why the energy, or whatever, is lacking. One has to start somewhere. Of course you are correct!

On the bottom of plastic food containers sold in the US (perhaps in the rest of the world too, but I don't know) there is a little triangle on the bottom of the container with a number inside it. If there is no number, it is not meant for food or water. PETE 1 & 2 are the best quality & the only ones I'd use for drinking water. If water is sold in containers with no number on the bottom, or with 3 or higher, I'd avoid that brand. http://www.americanplasticscouncil.org/benefits/about_plastics/resin_codes/r esin.html Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 On the subject of water, I must tell you about the water at Glastonbury in Somerset. They have a little place there called Chalice Well and the water runs red from this well and there are 2 outlets outside the walls of this very spiritual place where the public can just go along and fill up their bottles free of charge. I personally find it difficult to drink the water because it is a 2 1/2 hour journey and I hate the color of the bottle. There are so many people in Glastonbury who use it for everything, I may well try to use it for my cooking next time I go, as I do try to go a couple of times a year and bring some back for my herbs and a few special plants. If you would like to know more about this water, you can visit at http://www.chalicewell.org.uk/home.html.

Well, deducting " quality " from " Coca-Cola " , I would probably have to refrain from buying that brand (in this case Dasani water)? :-) :-) Gabriela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
