Essentials of Life...

The below are my personal top 6 Essentials of Life. I am curious of those that read this what their top Essentials of Life may be. Surely I would hope that at least 1 or 2 of what I show will make your list as well.

1. Oxygen - Oxygen not only feeds tissue and is vital to life, oxygen will also; kill viruses, burn bacteria, singe yeast, and dissolve cancer. Disease states are anaerobic. All bugs hate oxygen. Cancer cells for example, feed off of glycogen (anaerobic respiration), and die in the strong presence of oxygen! Part of a healthy immune system is to have the circulation, rich red blood cells and clean thin blood needed to carry oxygen throughout the body to every nook and cranny thereby killing off anything that may be thinking of festering there due to the lack of sufficient oxygen. - People, get outdoors and inhale some fresh air!!!

2. Water - Evaluate what you drink. Your body is mostly water and needs water as its primary liquid. Since your body was designed to regulate itself internally, drinking external stimulants puts added stress on your body and interferes with the regulation of blood sugar. - Put down the soda cans and beer bottles, enjoy a nice glass of H2O or two!!!

3. Salt - Just like a lot of other food ingredients, eating a bit of salt is essential for us to stay healthy. Salt is made up of two chemicals - sodium and chloride, which have many uses in our bodies. Sodium is an important part of your blood, and it helps carry nutrients into your body's cells. Sodium also helps regulate your blood pressure and helps your nervous system transmit messages. All of these functions mean that eating a small amount of sodium is essential for us to stay alive. The chloride bit of salt is also useful. Your body uses it to make stomach acid to help digest food and kill off dodgy bacteria. Just like a lot of other food ingredients, eating a bit of salt is essential for us to stay healthy. -I'm sure with the super-sizing of Valu Meals your sodium intake isn't a problem here. Just remember, too much of a good thing, may not be good for you!

4. Potassium - Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the human body, and the benefits of potassium have been studied for decades. Potassium acts as an electrolyte,taking on a positive or negative charge that helps regulate blood pressure, muscle contraction and keep your bodily processes working right. In order to keep your bodily systems working together, your body needs to maintain electrolytes like potassium, sodium and chloride in a careful balance. -Might I suggest a banana or orange in place of that banana cream pie, or orange flavoured creamsicle you consume daily? Or maybe fennel instead of that funnel cake you eat late at night?

5. Exercise - Evaluate how you exercise. Your body needs exercise that increases your heart rate, promotes muscle activity and aids neurological integration, so your body works as it was designed. Excellent exercises that achieve all three are swimming or walking correctly. - Doing finger push-ups by "right clicking" your mouse does not = daily excercise!!!

6. Oils - Essential oils are the oils extracted from flowers, seeds and roots of trees and plants. Known for its therapeutic properties, the essential oil paves way for easy transportation of nutrients to various cells of the body. These essential oils make it possible to oxygenate, without which the assimilation of nutrients in the body is not possible. Essential oils are extremely beneficial for treating muscular and joint problems. For those suffering from respiratory disorders, essential oils are of great value. It not only helps to maintain your physical health, but also takes the charge of ensuring your mental soundness. Essential oil massage truly soothes the nerve and makes the whole experience very refreshing and rejuvenating. -Wesson, Canola, or Whirley-Pop Real Theater Popcorn Oil is not on the list, people!!!


Okay chat scrap, I'm sure you are scratching your heads at this point asking, "wtf is she talking about?" "Oils, what the hell... maybe a little coconut oil while basking in the sun, that's about it?" "Potassium... "umm, I don't put anything in or on my body that I can't spell." "Salt? ... okay, let's raise the blood pressure even more."

I spoke with a few Ghost Town:1 chatters last night and this is what they had to say...

Cck2ca- "I would agree with Oxygen and Water as top essentials, but I also feel that chat should be on not just your list, but my list and everyone's list that reads this."

Flyereddie48- "Animal protein—flesh and dairy products—and refined grains along with chat are essentials of life in my book. And an ATV to get around town during the winter months here in Flin Flon."

Cudaguy- "Unemployment cheques and chat room romance is all I need."

alexovechkin- "If you can have a warm place to sleep, and be dry, and have something to eat; basically, and be clothed... that's really about it for me and my top Essentials of Life, and everything else that I enjoy, such as chat, is just a bonus."

Not2visible_31- "Three grand essentials to happiness in my life are... always having something to do, having someone to love, and something to hope for."

Pixie- "Abortion clinics, twinkies, attention, chat room boys like Nhlphi, and I'm set."

Forever Frantic- "Joe."

Land of the Shire- "My nine essentials that make true worth are... Loving, Learning, Laboring, Laughing, Lamenting, Linking, Living, Leading and Cristina."

Paul.Anthony84- "Peace, Love & Harmony! and my fave two chat rooms."

Thornton_19_ca- "WD40 for my wheelchair, Mary_Christine, and NHL:1 chat."

Jockoredwing53- "Medical marijuana and hemp, Swanson's TV dinners and Viagra."

I can't go on with the rest of the brief interviews I conducted, as it is just too embarrassing. And yes, most all that I spoke with, do list chat as an essential part of their life.

Sad.

Why is it that no one mentioned... Physical Health, Social & Emotional Strength, Education & Literacy? No hope maybe... who knows.

For those that I didn't have a chance to talk to and are reading this, leave me your thoughts.

I promise to be gentle in my responses back to you.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
