Simple things you can do that can save your life.
1. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas which is colorless, odorless and invisible. It can leak from a furnace or water heater and oftentimes people don't know there is a problem until someone becomes very ill or dies. The easiest thing to do to prevent this is to buy a carbon monoxide detector and place it near your furnace and water heater so that you will be made aware that there is a leak.
2. Did you know that you can start a fire by filling up your gas tank? Static electricity from your skin can be transferred to the gas vapors and this can then start a fire in your gas tank. Simple ways to prevent this are to never get in and out of your car when filling up your tank. Never smoke while filling up your tank. Leave cell phones and pagers in your car. Touch your car with your hand before touching the nozzle to put gas into your car as this will eliminate any static electricity on your skin. Also don't talk on your cell phone while filling your gas tank.
3. Most people are aware that unfiltered tap water is not good to drink. With all the pollution and toxins in our environment our municipal water system just does not do a good enough job eliminating these things from our drinking water. Because of this it is necessary to have a good whole house filtration system installed. If you can't afford this then at least get a filtration system hooked up to your kitchen sink. Distilled water is not the best choice as it takes all the minerals out of the water. You see bottled water everywhere but be warned that there are no Federal regulations on bottled water so what is in the next bottle of water you purchase may be the very same water coming out of your tap at home. The best and cheapest way to get good water is with a filter system installed at your home.
4. Throw your microwave oven away. There is a reason why microwave ovens are banned in Europe. You are paying a great price for this convenience. In a study by Dr. Radwan Farag of Cairo University, it was discovered that just two seconds of microwave energy destroys all the enzymes in a food, thus increasing our enzyme deficiency and altering the frequency of the food. Microwaves can be detected up to 1500 feet away from the oven. Heating proteins in the microwave for 10 minutes or more may create a new, harmful type of protein. Also, microwave radiation has been known to leak and could disrupt the delicate balances in cellular growth.
