Water is a vital part to nutrition, but knowing just how much water to drink to maintain a healthy lifestyle is often difficult. The truth is, there is no hard and fast rule governing how much water an individual should drink. The specific amount depends upon a number of factors, including your age, gender, level of activity, and even your environment. While the 'eight cups a day' long recommended by doctors may hold true for some people, it is far better to look at your own individual lifestyle factors to determine the appropriate amount of water for you.
Water filters currently provide the best and healthiest solution to the problems of both bottled water and tap water. Water filters remove more dangerous contaminants than any other purification method, and they are uniquely designed to work with municipally treated water. Also, drinking filtered water is a much more economical practice than drinking bottled water. The pure water product of a water filter costs very little more than untreated tap water. Furthermore, because water filters use no more energy than is already required to propel water through a home's plumbing system, they circumvent several of the environmental problems of the bottled water industry.

Cheer Up - Exercise for Stress
Have you ever noticed how much older you look when you are stressed-out?
Taking care of yourself physically, exercising, and learning a deep relaxation technique can actually make you appear and feel younger and more youthful.
When you are worried and/or stressed, extra demands are placed on your body. This increases your need for good nutrition and sleep. Many scientists believe adequate sleep and good nutrition even combat the negative effects stress can have. Another potent weapon against stress and its aging effect is exercise. A regular program of aerobic exercises will:
* Increase energy levels
* Make you feel younger, more youthful.
* Improve self-esteem
* Clear your mind
* Make you appear more youthful
* Relax tensed muscles, including facial muscles where tension is aging, thus making you look younger.
Deep relaxation makes you feel calm and refreshed. It is difficult to feel stress when your body is relaxed. In a mere 20 minutes per day, you can trade tension for relaxation and look and feel younger in the process. Better than any anti-aging pill.
Exercise is mood-altering without a prescription, exercising with music is even better.
Give it a try. Play that music and get exercising for at least five minutes. It is an over-the-counter way to improve your mental outlook and your physical self. Extend that exercise until you are up to at least 30 minutes. Or try walking briskly in the park with a headset tuned to music. You'll come home relaxed and feeling sensational from the music and the outdoors.

Make your skin glow with RoC skincare
Yesterday I picked up a little tube of ROC retin-ox anti wrinkle moisturiser that my grandma had left in my house when she visited last week. I am very sceptical when it comes to wonder creams and such like, but I felt positive so I thought I would give it a go and see what happens. I applied a little bit of it over my face and neck, just before bedtime.
Well, today I awoke and went straight to the mirror. My skin was firmer, my wrinkles vastly reduced, and I felt more confident. Suprise, suprise... I certainly was!
Believe me I don't work for RoC Skincare, but I highly recommed them, and I will be looking at their other products soon. Try it yourself - it actually works. Well they do say, they keep their promises!
So I have set up a little RoC shop in association with Amazon.co.uk. If you would like to look at some of their bestsellers, click on the RoC Skincare shop.

M*A*S*H The 4077th
For anyone who doesn't know, M*A*S*H is the show that lasted nearly four times as long as the war it was about (the Korean war), as well as one of the few cases in which a critically acclaimed film was successfully adapted into a critically acclaimed television series, the military comedy drama M*A*S*H ran for 11 seasons, ending with one of the most watched events in the history of the medium.
The show followed a team of doctors and support staff stationed at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Uijeongbu, South Korea. The final show was a 2 hour special that showed the main characters and what would become of them. A truly historic moment in television, M*A*S*H - Goodbye, Farewell & Amen (1983)
