Why Is Drinking Water So Important?

Some people say they don’t want to drink before bedtime so they don’t have to get up at night to use the bathroom.
I asked a cardiologist, “Why do people, especially old people, pee so much at night?”
His answer was: “When you stand or sit, the force of gravity holds water in your lower body. This is why legs can swell. When you lie down, your lower body seeks balance with the kidneys. So the kidneys remove the water along with the trash because then it’s easier.”

Water is essential to remove waste from your body.

According to cardiologists, the best time to drink water is best done at well-defined times to maximize efficiency
throughout the body. Here are the optimum times

  • Drink two glasses of water right after waking up to activate internal organs.
  • One glass of water 30 minutes before each meal will help improve digestion.
  • One glass of water before taking a bath (or shower) will lower blood pressure.
  • One glass of water before going to bed, will prevent a stroke or heart attack.
  • Drink water before bed TO avoid leg cramps during the night. (Your leg muscles, when you have cramps, are seeking water and moisture.)

laugh at me because I rave about some toothpaste…if they only knew!

Hot Tubs vs Saunas 

Hot tubs and saunas can both soothe aching muscles and provide welcome warmth, but hot tubs might offer greater health benefits.

A study found that soaking in hot water raises core body temperature more than dry or infrared saunas, triggering stronger heart, blood vessel, and immune responses.

That’s the takeaway from a new study done by researchers in the Bowerman Sports Science Center at the University of Oregon, which compared the physiological effects of soaking in a hot tub to sitting in a traditional dry heat sauna or a more modern far-infrared sauna.

Researchers monitored body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output (the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute) and immune cell populations and blood biomarkers of inflammation. Data were collected before, during and after subjects soaked in a hot tub and sat in traditional dry heat and far-infrared saunas.

All three options are effective but hot tubs fared better because:
hot water immersion gives you the most robust changes in core temperature. We can’t effectively dissipate heat as we can if we have contact with the air and we’re sweating to cool the body. When you’re submerged in water, the sweat mechanisms aren’t efficient.

Regardless, in addition to relaxation, there are great benefits to the heat!

Heavy Metals and Heart Disease

Heavy metals like mercury, lead, and arsenic have been shown to increase blood pressure and raise the risk of heart disease. These metals can accumulate in your system over time, interfering with metabolic processes that support cardiovascular health.

How heavy metals affect your heart

  • Damages blood vessels
  • Increases oxidative stress leading to arterial plaque buildup
  • Increases blood pressure

How to reduce exposure

  • Filter drinking water using a system certified to remove heavy metals.
  • Limit consumption of high-mercury fish like king mackerel and swordfish.
  • Avoid lead-containing cookware and glassware.

Heavy metals can impact more areas than just the heart.

Check your ingredients

If you knew what was actually in the products under your sink… you’d throw them out TODAY.

For example, Bleach is linked to asthma. I should know as bleach “takes my breath away” in the form of an asthma attack

The term, “Fragrance” can legally hide over 3,000 untested chemicals.

What is surprising, the average American home has more toxins than a landfill.—and most families have no idea.

I switched my entire home over to a private, American-made wellness store—and I’ve never looked back.
No middlemen. No toxins. No fear. Today I’m helping families just like mine get started.

Checking all the health boxes…

Did you know most of our food today is empty of nutrients? Even when we try to eat healthy… our soil is depleted, and our bodies aren’t getting what they need to thrive. That’s why quality supplements are a MUST for everyone!

But remember, you can’t just use any supplement… you need ones that are:

✅ High absorption (so your body can actually use them!)

✅ Made with clean, high-quality ingredients.

✅ Affordable.

✅ Shipped directly from the manufacturer..(No middleman = better value)

Without proper nutrients, our bodies break down, but with the right support, we can:

• Reduce inflammation,

• Strengthen immunity,

• Boost energy,

• Sharpen focus and…

• support every system in the body!

I’m so grateful I found a brand that checks ALL the boxes.

Don’t you think you should check yours today?

“Renew in itself is amazing, and with this eczema treatment it makes it’s that much more amazing, and im always so blown away by how well these products work! 🥹 This little guy gets flare-ups from time to time like his mama, and this gem helps every. Single. Time. 🙌 These photos are three days apart with applying it a few times a day.”

21 years of shopping

I was cash poor. My newly found healthy shop club had a value pack that was 50% off so I “robbed Peter to pay Paul” to get that savings.

A few days later, I walked into Walmart with my list of normal product needs and one by one realized that “Nope, that is coming in the pack.”

I wonder how much money I have saved over 21 years by not even walking into a Walmart month after month. I was good at not buying something I would not use, but the point was: I was living fine without it before I saw it on sale at Walmart.

I don’t even spend gas (and time) by going to the curbside pickup.

Sharing is caring

Asking me to stop sharing about health and wellness is like asking me to abandon my core values — it’s simply not an option. These issues are too important, and people need to wake up. I’ll keep speaking out until they do.

Staying dry and odor free on a budget

Another reason I’m obsessed with my Wellness store!! Non-toxic deodorant for $5.49— it smells amazing and keeps me and my family dry!

Yes Please…..

I laugh when people tell me they can’t afford it.

I’m like how can you afford not to??
