Did

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.

20. Water and Menopause
For
women, menopause is a fact of life. "The change" usually comes upon
entering the fourth or fifth decade of life, but really varies from woman
to woman. In layman's terms, this is the time when women make the transition
from the child-bearing years to a time when the ovaries stop functioning.
So, periods end. Some women would shout "Hooray!" at hearing that.
Despite that being a good thing- as many women suffer from PMS (see related
article), there are also negative side effects that come from menopause.
One
of the most common symptoms of menopause is hot flashes-- over 75% of
menopausal women get them. They can hit anytime, and even at in mid-sleep,
often accompanied by night sweats. They can be minor of they can be harsh
and affect daily activity. These hot flashes can last from seconds to
several minutes and even an hour. They begin in the chest; then the warmness
then goes to the head. They can cause headaches, dizziness and even nausea.
Chills and vomiting can also occur. Water can come to the rescue of this
uncomfortable condition. Drinking at least eight glasses of water per
day can reduce the onset of hot flashes. At the onset of a flash, drinking
cool water can help. Since most hot flashes occur at night, it is a good
idea to keep a jug of water by the bed. Also, splashing the face with
cool water will also alleviate the discomfort.
There
are also many types of foods and drinks to avoid- and healthy options
as replacement. Carbonated beverages are a big no-no, as they can aid
in bloating. Drinking water then not only can help hot flashes, but also
with other symptoms. Anything hot is also said to be avoided.
Dry
skin is something else that is cause by menopause. Being hydrated from
the inside out can aid in moisturizing the skin, often dry because of
medications. Of course, moisturizers will also help skin be soft and help
get that glow back. A tip is to keep apply moisturizer while the skin
is still damp. And, oil in your diet, believe it or not, can help keep
skin moist too.
Those
at menopause age are more prone to osteoporosis (see related article).
Also, women who are malnourished are more likely to hit menopause earlier.
