There are many kinds of water. Steam and ice are 2 extremes. Water used to drink is liquid. Liquid water can be affected greatly by the way it is obtained. Distilled water is usually clear of toxins but is also devoid of minerals. Municipally treated water is not too risky from a microbial perspective but contains chlorine and possibly other water treatment and sewage contaminants. Municipal water treatment systems do not remove other waste water contaminants such as excreted drugs, metals, pesticides, insecticides, etc. This is why municipal systems that use deep artesian water are the safest. The best water is obtained from deep artesian wells, uncontaminated by human agency or biologic accidents, where it has filtered through many layers of stone, earth and rocks. The rain water you may drink is very much like distilled water, except it carries with it whatever contaminants are in the atmosphere.

Brain Foods - Aka Raw Food
It has been said that we only use less than 10% of our brains. Whether this is true or not, there is no doubt that many people would like to be able to use their brain better, to get the most out of their life. In this article, I will list some foods that have been shown to help our brains function at their best, and the main vitamin or mineral that qualifies them as brain foods.
Calcium - An Essential Vitamin
Calcium is essential for building and maintaining bone. Calcium combines with other minerals, particularly Phosphorus and to a lesser extent Magnesium to form the hard crystals that give bone its strength. Approximately 99% of the body's Calcium is found in the bones. The remaining 1% of Calcium is dissolved in blood and other fluids and is essential for maintaining healthy functioning of the heart, muscles, blood and nerves.
Calorie Intake for Men
When calculating how many calories you need in a given day, it is important to remember that the calorie intake for men will be different than the amount of calories women need. There are a few reasons for this, but the most important is weight.
The average woman weighs quite a bit less than the average man. It is an easily observed difference between men and women that has some important consequences with regards to calorie needs. A 125 lb woman that gets an average amount of exercise throughout the day will need about 2,000 calories.
Industrial Surplus Equipment
Industrial surplus are the industrial equipments that were used by those companies that had to wrap up their organization because of insolvency or any other economical or relevant crisis. This crisis usually happens when an organization spends a particular amount of money to produce something, but later, after the production, they find that the produced goods will be unable to regain the spent amount of money.
Four Reasons Why We Need Paper Shredding
Paper shredding or document destruction is critical for safe keeping confidential and sensitive information. Most of us create and keep files with sensitive content; examples of which are bills, financial statements, marketing plans, employee files, and even delivery packages. Government offices, non-commercial organizations, large corporations, small businesses, and private citizens alike make use of machines called shredders that cut paper into strips or fine pieces, which are then collected and recycled.
