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 prevent and alleviate many of our symptoms
Constipation,
your Child & Treatment.
Constipation
can be extremely uncomfortable, even painful for those who have it regularly.
When children experience constipation it can be especially painful and
frustrating and can leave parents wondering what their treatment options
are. Fortunately, constipation can usually be treated effectively at home.
Here are a couple of easy steps…
- Make sure
your child is drinking adequate amounts of fluids.
- If you
are switching from breast milk to formula, give your baby an extra 1
fl oz to 2 fl oz of water for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Be sure to give
your baby the suggested amount of formula plus the extra water. Do not
give extra water for longer than 3 weeks unless your doctor tells you
to.
- If your
child is older than 6 months, add fruit juices, such as apple, pear,
or prune juice, to relieve the constipation.
- After
age 6 months, give 0.5 Tbsp to 2 Tbsp of prune juice. Increase the amount
slowly over time. At age 9 months, add 1.5 Tbsp to 3 Tbsp of strained
prunes per day.
- If fruit
juices do not help, add baby foods with a high fiber content twice a
day. High-fiber baby foods include cooked dried beans or peas (legumes),
apricots, prunes, peaches, pears, plums, and spinach.
- For children
1 year and older, increase your child's fiber intake by adding at least
2 servings of fruit, such as apricots, peaches, pears, raisins, figs,
prunes, dates, and other dried fruits, and at least 3 servings of vegetables,
such as cooked dried beans or peas (legumes), broccoli, or cauliflower,
each day. Add whole-grain foods, such as bran flakes, bran muffins,
graham crackers, oatmeal, brown rice, and whole wheat bread.
- Gently
massage your child's abdomen. This may help relieve discomfort. You
can also have your child lie on his or her back, legs flexed onto his
or her abdomen, and rotate his or her legs in a clockwise direction.
- If your
child is age 6 months or older and the warm bath does not work, use
1 or 2 glycerin suppositories to lubricate the stool, making it easier
to pass. Use glycerin suppositories only once or twice.If constipation
is not relieved or develops again, discuss the problem with your health
professional.
Symptoms
to Watch For During Home Treatment
After a
treatment program has started with your child, it's best to monitor and
evaluate your child's symptoms if any of the following occur during home
treatment.;Constipation or changes in the stool persist after 24 hours
of home treatment in a baby younger than 3 months; New constipation persists
after 1 week of home treatment in a child age 3 months to 11 years.
