Cold water vs. Warm water ( Which is healthier)

Good morning! I hope you are well!!
After working out in the hot weather most people like to enjoy a cold beverage be it water, pop/soda, or alcohol. Do you do this? I did in the past but do not now for a few reasons I will explain.

The temperature of the beverage you are consuming has large impact on the body. If you consume water that is 40 degrees Fahrenheit it takes significantly more energy to process than a water at room temperature. And this is not just for water, it applies to all beverages. Before the body can consume any food or water the substance must be changed to increase efficiency of absorption. For food when you chew 25 times and coat your food with saliva you significantly increase digestion and absorption of nutrients. For a beverage, when the temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the body must first heat the liquid up to room temperature so that it may be processed and utilized.

Many health experts say to drink icy water to increase fat loss because your body has to warm the water up to room temperature. While I did this in the past I do not any longer. It is bad for your body and hard on the body as well. The ingesting of cold liquids causes the organs to have a decrease in internal temperature. When we have a decrease in temperature, what do we do? We insulate. This biological instinct is embedded deep within us.

After the internal temperature of the organs decrease, the body starts to line the inside of the organs with fat so that the organs may stay warm when coming into contact with cold liquids. So that fat loss tip to drink cold water, well it doesn’t work. Yes you may have fat loss around the waist but it is at the expense of having fat gain within your organs which can be much worse for your health.

Warm or room temperature water has a healing and calming effect on the body. it is great to get the organs working in the morning. Tea is a very popular drink of choice in the Asia and japan. Drinking warm or room temperature water allows your body to run at peak efficiency with no wasted energy or effort to increase the water temperature. Drinking more water has been shown to cause fat loss in many studies due to its cleansing effect.

The healing power of lavender essential oil

Good Morning! I hope you are well!
Every morning before I go to work I drop off my dog to my parents house so that she may play with her mother throughout the day while I am at work. Her name is precious. She is an Alaskan Husky who is just over 3 months old.
I picked her up on 7/21/15 after work and noticed that her left eye was swollen shut. This caused a little bit of alarm inside me. This is because I don’t know much about dogs and I don’t know much about treating illnesses in dogs. But I did have one thought that might work.
When I have tight muscles and tight joints I use lavender oil produced by Eden’s Garden to calm and relax the affected area. So I thought, I should give it a try and maybe it will help precious’s eye. I applied between five and 10 drops each morning and night (I didn’t count how many) for four days. I do not know what was wrong with her eye, but I do know one thing for sure. All the swelling was gone in four days and has not came back yet. It is amazing what essential oils can do.

Lavender oil is associated with a calming effect on the body. It is also used to treat burns, Bug bites, rashes, cuts and other skin irritations. The oil can also help you to wind down easier before going to bed. There are many other uses for lavender but these are the most basic and the common uses i have for the oil.
