Did
you know?
Reverse osmosis is the finest water filtration method known. This process will
allow the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution. It is used
to purify water and remove salts and other impurities in order to improve the
color, taste or properties of the fluid. R.O. uses a membrane that is semi-permeable,
allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting
other ions and contaminants from passing.
This technology uses a process
known as crossflow to allow the r.o. membrane to continually clean itself. This
is the reason of why an r.o. element can last many years before clogging or
need replacement. This
water purification process requires a driving force to push the fluid through
the membrane, and the most common force is household water pressure or pressure
from a booster pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force and
efficiency.

Water
Can Heal

You Know?
Water can prevent and alleviate many of our symptoms
19.
Water and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Chocolate.
Seems to be the "cure" of choice for many women seven to 14 days before
their periods. Perhaps finding the humor in this will allow women to cope
just that much easier- but somehow it probably won't.
PMS
is a real medical condition that inflicts many women-- about 3 out of
4-- one to two weeks before their period begins and perhaps just after.
The symptoms are different for each individual but they can include: acne,
irritability, bloating, lack of interest in sex, mood swings, constipation,
swollen hands and feet, fatigue, weight gain, trouble concentrating, depression,
diarrhea, headaches, breast tenderness and muscle aches.
PMS
is thought to be caused by the change in hormones that women experience
once per month. And, while there is no cure, there are many things that
women can do to fight some or all of these symptoms, or at least ease
them a little. From scheduling stressful events after your period is over
(think ahead for those weddings!) to rest, there are many options. Eating
a healthy diet and exercising rank among the best ways to combat the stress
that comes along with PMS. Birth control pills are also said to east PMS,
which is good news for thousands of women who need birth control anyway.
Diuretics
are also said to help combat the weight gain associated with the water
retention and weight gain symptoms. They can ease the bloating too. The
problem with this is that diuretics also cause dehydration, and rid the
body of minerals it needs. If taking this, it is a good idea to drink
plenty of fluids, which sounds like it is doing the exact opposite of
what it is meant to do- but symptoms of dehydration are like those of
PMS anyway. Perhaps avoiding them altogether and looking for another means
is better. As stated, water seems like an oxymoron for a symptom that
retains water. But, drinking the 8-10 glasses of water a day can ease
the water retention!
Cutting
back on caffeine and alcohol are also very important. Substituting water
as a beverage can raise the energy level and perhaps help ease some of
the other symptoms. Water can also be helpful if a side effect of PMS
one experiences is diarrhea. Again, this is a dehydrating ailment, and
the fluids lost need to be replaced. Salty and sugary foods need to be
avoided as well.
