How To Clean Up Your Liver and Vital Organs
Tumblr media
Have you ever really wondered why your cholesterol levels and liver enzymes are high?
Why your blood pressure is rising?
Why old age spots are showing up on your face?
And why you can't lose weight no matter what diet you're on?
These issues all have one thing in common: a liver that is crying out for a healthy detox.
This is one of the main "underlying causes" of fat gain and poor health, that most people don't acknowledge (and that few even know about).
You see, your liver only weighs a few pounds but it is by far one of the most important organs in your body.
It's the main filtration system for your body.
For example, imagine a brand new filter for your kitchen faucet or shower.
When you first look at the filter, it's clear and may look like some sort of mesh material, with holes you can see light through.
Now once you start running water through the filter, you begin filtering out all types of particles and microbes that shouldn't be there.
Over time, these particles and microbes collect on the filter. And if you don't ever clean the filter, what happens?
Well, the filter gets full of the toxic compounds and needs to be cleansed (very much like a filter in your air conditioner that gets clogged up with dust, dirt and other particles).
If you're following along well, you can probably guess what this is leading to.
You see, this same exact "dirty filter" scenario happens with your liver.
In normal daily living, toxins are clogging the filtration system of your liver. And although the body is self-cleaning, the amount of toxins in the environment and food supply is so great that it often exceeds the filtration ability of the liver.
This is yet another reason that cholesterol levels shoot up, since the liver is responsible for processing and synthesizing cholesterol.
This is also when liver enzyme levels rise, indicating that the filtration ability and functions of the liver have been depressed.
Blood pressure can shoot up too, and old age spots are more prevalent because the pigment lipofuscin can't be filtered in the liver.
And of course, you can't lose weight because your liver is closely tied in with processing of food and nutrients. When it's working overtime to rid your body of toxins and keep you safe, you can bet it isn't sparing a moment to deal with your pesky fat stores.
Looks like it's time for a detox!
A healthy one of course...(and not some 3 day juice fast, after which you return to eat the same junk you were in the first place!)
What 'Clogs' Your Liver
Some of the biggest "liver cloggers" are some of the most common things we come into contact within the environment on a daily basis:
Processed foods and refined foods
Hydrogenated fats (and partially hydrogenated ones -  FYI these are trans fat, the deadliest type of fat)
Industrial seed oils (including vegetable oil, soybean oil, corn oil, etc.)
Harmful chemicals within laundry detergents and cleaning products, which end up being absorbed in the skin
Toxins in the air we breathe such as heavy metals and pollution
Tobacco smoke and excessive alcohol intake
Prescription drugs and recreational drugs (and even over-the-counter NSAIDs)
Caffeine, over a reasonable amount (I recommend no more than 400 mg daily)
Tap water and well water that contains drug residues, heavy metals, fluoride and chlorine, and even microbes
Skin care products filled with chemicals that need to be removed from the body asap!
How to Have A Healthy Detox
It comes down to this: you have a choice to make each day...
You can choose to live "clean" and decrease the stress and filtration demands on your liver...
Or, you can live without much concern about this, and wake up one day with high blood pressure, heart disease and other degenerative diseases.
Sadly, many people think nothing about their health and what their body needs to function at a high level.
And while others are on the right path by exercising and eating right, they never go to the next level - a level in which they take steps that increase their body's ability to detoxify wastes, especially in the colon and the liver.
Essentially, they leave it up to chance.
But, as I'm sure you've learned in this book already...it's never up to chance.
Just like the filter on your water faucet in the kitchen or in your bedroom air conditioner, your liver will begin to clog up with toxins after a period of time.
The toxins are the same ones that have contributed to the obesity epidemic and insane disease/early death rates the world is facing these days.
The good part is: there are various things you can do each day that will drastically improve the liver's ability to detoxify itself.
This is how a proper detox is done.
It's not a 3 day juice cleanse, and it's not a 14 day "miracle detox".
It's a complete change to eating and lifestyle habits that ensure you're keeping your liver and body "clean" day in and day out.
Here are some things you can do. Take these step by step if you must, but do not wait. Take action today.
1. Remove processed, refined, and gluten/wheat-based foods which all contribute to a clogged system
2. Eat enough vegetables and fruit to prove phytonutrients that help the healthy detox process
a. Try to eat veggies with every meal, and 2-3 pieces of fruit daily
3. Drink enough water, which makes it possible for the body to remove the wastes detoxified by the liver
a. Most Americans are also chronically dehydrated which can contribute to fatigue, pain, and various imbalances, leading to many health problems.
4. Eat enough fiber, which helps remove waste from the colon
a. Dark green veggies and fruit are the best sources for fiber
b. Do not use fiber supplements
c. Try not to get all your fiber from grains, since the "roughage" they create can make very small incisions in the gut lining which cause problems over time.
5. Take vitamin and mineral supplements (make sure you do your research first!)
a. This helps to remedy vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the body, which most of us have
b. 3 very important vitamins/minerals that most Americans are deficient in are Vitamin D3, Magnesium and Potassium.
c. There are also many more which are beneficial (we will these discuss later)
6. Use various herbs or herbal combinations that cleanse the liver gently.
a. The best known and researched herbs with liver cleansing abilities are Milk Thistle and Turmeric/Curcumin.
b. Milk Thistle has been used as a liver tonic for centuries in Europe and Turmeric has been used for thousands of years in India for a variety of ailments.
Now that you've seen the components of a healthy, gradual detox...did you notice that the items on this list are things that not very many people pay serious attention to on a regular basis?
Sure we may be doing some of these things already since we "know" we need them to be healthy. But unfortunately, many of us simply doing a very poor job at it.
We might eat a healthy salad for lunch, but eat processed or unsafe foods from breakfast and dinner. Or we take all our vitamins for 3 days in a row and then forget to take them the other 4 days. The list goes on and on.
The truth is many of us "half ass" our way through things.
But unfortunately, when our health and well-being is the thing we're half-assing, the results can be disastrous.
It's even worse that we often "say" we feel good, when in reality we don't -- and even if we wanted to find our health "sticking points", we wouldn't know what to look for.
This is compounded by the fact that humans inherently want to look and "sound" good to others.
So when a health researcher or even a friend says "what did you eat today" or "how's that new diet going?", we're much more likely to lie or stretch the truth, rather than be 100% honest.
The good thing is, the facts don't lie.
There are hundreds of research studies that prove that most people aren't doing too well when it comes to filtering out these toxins.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), for example, has mentioned that people they tested in one study found dozens of carcinogenic compounds swimming around in their bloodstream.
They estimated our bodily environment to be 100 times more toxic than in our grandparent's time.

GUNWANT S DHALIWAL  Hair Loss Tips You Will Wish You Had Read Sooner
GUNWANT S DHALIWAL Expert tips provider. GUNWANT S DHALIWAL Professional tips provider.  Both men and women suffer from hair loss. It is much more common than most people realize. Today, there is a lot more help available than there ever has been before. Take a look at some of these valuable tips that can help you when trying to deal with your hair loss.
Consider having a hair transplant to correct your hair loss. This procedure is performed by a specialist, usually on men who are older than 35. Hair follicles from the back of the head are surgically removed and implanted in the bald areas. Although it is costly, hair transplants provide a permanent natural looking solution to this vexing problem.
Avoid obsessing about your hair loss. It is natural to experience hair loss as you age, though some experience this loss earlier than others. When you constantly obsess about it, you create stress and anxiety which can compound the issue. Shampoo, condition and brush your hair normally to keep your hair healthy, but get away from the mirror and keep your hands out of your hair.
A diet consisting of high protein foods will help you to maintain your hair and prevent hair loss. Protein is necessary for hair loss prevention because your hair is made completely from protein. Without protein, your hair will simply stop growing. Fish, eggs, and red meat are all great sources of protein.
If you are going to use hair styling products on your hair, make sure to take it all out of your hair at nighttime to prevent hair loss. Keeping these products in all night allow the chemicals to sink further into your scalp, which can make your hair fall out.
Massaging the surface of your scalp can prove very beneficial towards decreasing your chances of hair loss. A firm massage can help to increase the circulation of blood to your head, which will benefit the formation of new hair. Massage your head for ten minutes each day to fight hair loss.
GUNWANT S DHALIWAL Professional tips provider.  Consider all methods of hair loss treatment, including surgery, medication and artificial hair. You may find that what is good for others might not be good for you. You want to use a treatment that fits you well, is most comfortable and is easy for your lifestyle and capabilities.
Drugs will work to weaken the roots of your hair at the follicle, so you should avoid drugs and alcohol if you're hoping to strengthen your hair and scalp and to prevent any further hair loss. Make this sacrifice and your hair will become much stronger in the long run.
Be proactive about your hair loss. If you have longer hair and you notice it starting to fall out, get a shorter haircut or consider shaving your head. This will make the hair loss less startling and prevent long loose strands from clogging your shower drain and ending up all over your home.
Wear a swimming cap if you frequently exercise or swim in chlorinated swimming pools. The chlorine found in most pools can cause major damage to your hair even making it fall out. If you opt to swim in a pool without a cap, be sure to wash your hair thoroughly after swimming.
Other options may work for you, but transplantation is proven to work for almost everyone. This is where doctors take healthy hair from your head and transplant it in the areas in which you're balding. Look in to hair transplant procedures if you want a proven, permanent result. This is an expensive procedure; be very wary of anyone who is offering to do the procedure on the cheap.
Beans are like a power-food for your hair re-growth efforts, so make sure to eat them if you are attempting to grow your hair. Beans contain many great substances for your head, such as calcium, protein, iron, zinc, and biotin. These minerals are essential in an overall healthy diet and will help you to keep your scalp healthy.
If you are suffering from hair loss, have a blood test done to check your iron levels. Excessive hair loss can be caused by anemia. If an iron deficiency is detected, your doctor can prescribe an iron supplement for you. If there are no other underlying causes, taking the supplement regularly will most likely cure your hair loss problem.
Relax. In cases of sudden or severe hair loss, stress is often the primary culprit. Take some time to relax and try not to worry as much. Relaxation techniques such as yoga, deep breathing exercises, and meditation can be very beneficial. Once your nerves have calmed, your hair can begin to recover.
When trying to stop your hair loss, you should aim to find how it first began. For example, you may find that your hair loss coincides with the usage of a new product, increased stressed levels, poor health, etc. Simply discontinuing the offending product might solve the problem.
Consider your diet if you are worried about hair loss. Food high in carbohydrates, such as fast food, can lead to an imbalanced diet and unhealthy hair. Consume more poultry and fish, which are low in fat and high in protein, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. This will give you hair the proper nutrients it needs to stay healthy.
GUNWANT S DHALIWAL Professional tips provider.  To increase your hair health and lower the risk of hair loss, try increasing your intake of biotin. Biotin is a B vitamin that's thought to prevent hair loss specifically, as well as preventing hair from graying. You can find biotin in milk, egg yolks and yeast, or you can take a supplement.
To better understand the possible causes of hair loss, check whether it's accompanied by skin shedding. If you're experiencing skin shedding, or scaling, at the same time as hair loss, your hair loss may be related to a skin problem. In these cases, you should be able to cure the hair loss by curing the skin problem.
 GUNWANT S DHALIWAL Expert tips provider. More focus has been placed on addressing hair loss issues, in recent years. By identifying the problem early and treating it right away, you may increase your chances of success. Try applying some of the pointers that you have learned in this article to help ward off or treat your hair loss problems.

  10 Pool Maintenance Tips That You Need To Try Right Now
 The idea of having a pool in your own backyard will always be incredibly glamourous. It’s easy to give into daydreams of hosting weekend parties, adopting an invigorated fitness routine that includes laps after work, and spending long afternoons lounging poolside while cultivating the perfect tan.
 But, in those daydreams, one crucial element of pool ownership is often forgotten: the maintenance. Without a proper maintenance routine, your pool could succumb to a variety of less-than-luxurious conditions – green water, broken filters, and algae build up, just to name a few. And, no one wants to lay by a pool that’s seen better days.

  1. Make A Skimming and Scrubbing A Part Of Life
 Skimming the leaves and debris off of the surface of the water is a no-brainer, but it bears repeating. For a truly pristine pool, skimming  should be done daily.
 If you have a bit of money to spend, consider buying a robot vacuum that will clean the bottom of the pool for you. This Polaris Pool 360 ranks middle-of-the-road in terms of pricing and consistently receives five-star performance reviews
 In addition to skimming, you need to scrub  the sides of the pool to prevent algae build-up. Thankfully, that doesn’t need to be done quite as often. You can get away with scrubbing once every other week. Just look for any growths and go at them with a scrub brush to keep your siding looking fresh and clean.
 For those particularly stubborn spots that won’t go away with any amount of elbow grease? Repurpose an old sock. Fill it with chlorine and let it sit on top of the spot for a few hours before scrubbing once more. The chlorine will eat away at the algae and you’ll finally have a use for those socks without pairs. It’s a win-win.
 Here are 10 pool maintenance tips that you need to try right now. Whether you’ve just opened your pool for the very first time or you’ve been a proud owner for years, check out these tips to get your summer season off to the right start.
 2. Think Of The Filter As Your Pool’s Kidneys
 Just as your kidneys are constantly working to remove impurities from your body, your pool’s filter is responsible for removing impurities from the water – think dirt, leaves, and even small toys.
 Most of the time, the pool can be cleaned by turning off the filter, removing the filter cap located on the pool deck, lifting out the filter basket, and removing any debris before replacing everything. It’s best to clean out your filter basket at least once a week.
 Once a month you’ll also want to clean out the pipes utilized by your filter system, which you can do by backwashing. To do so, simply set your filter to “backwash,” remove the leaf basket and clean it out. Then turn on your pump and let it run until the waste pipe ejects clear water.
 A final note on turning the filter on and off: Doing so too often can cause the filter’s mechanics to crack. Set your filter on a timer and allow it to run for at least six hours a day.
 3. Pools Need Consistent Chemical Levels
 Chemical levels are arguably one of the most important facets of pool maintenance.  Improperly balanced water looks murky, irritates skin and eyes, and can cause your pool to become a breeding ground for bacteria.
 Ideally, you should test the water at least once a week. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), there are six chemical levels that need to be considered:
 ·         Cyanuric Acid – Protects chlorine from sunlight and determines the required Free Chlorine level. An ideal reading for outdoor pools is 30- 50.
·         Free Chlorine – A sanitizer which keeps your pool water safe and free of germs.
·         Acidity/Alkalinity – Also known as the PH level, acidity needs to be kept between 7.5 and 7.8 to prevent irritation and protect the pool equipment from eroding.
·         Total Alkalinity –  Helps keep the PH in balance. Levels should be within range of 60-120.
·         Calcium Hardness – Appropriate levels help prevent plaster damage. Aim for 220-350, but lower for pools with vinyl siding.
 Testing the water is easy. Simply buy a few testing kits from your local pool store. Fill it with a sample of your pool’s water. Add the provided solution to the testing kit and close the vials. After a few seconds, your sample water will change color and a comparison of the sample water to the colors shown on the testing kit should allow you to determine the current chemical levels. You should adjust the levels, as needed, to achieve an ideal balance.
 When all the chemicals are properly balanced, the water should be crystal clear, have no scent, and leave very little residue on your skin.
 4. Chemicals Costing Too Much? Give Baking Soda A Try
 There’s no denying that pool chemicals can be expensive to purchase, so why not get a little help straight from the grocery store?
 Most pool stores suggest using sodium bicarbonate to control the alkalinity of a pool without drastically reducing the PH levels. They will try to  sell overpriced solutions in order to get the job done.
 As it turns out, regular baking soda does the same job as sodium bicarbonate for only a fraction of the price. All baking soda boxes even have “sodium bicarbonate” listed on their ingredients label. Take a look!
 If you’re worried that using baking soda will mean doing a lot of complicated mathematical conversions, don’t be. Baking soda has the same concentration of sodium bicarbonate per pound as the solutions, so the amount you’d need to add to your water would be identical.
  Keeping your pool sparkling clean doesn't have to be as cumbersome as you might think. All pools are different, and so are their maintenance needs. However, they all share one commonality: The secret to pristine pool health is regular, routine care. If you choose to handle common problems like murky water or broken pumps on your own, make sure to always consult manufacturers' manuals before fixing or using equipment. No matter if you rely on a service company to take care of your pool, you still need to do a few things on your own to ensure your pool stays in good condition for years.
  5. Skim Debris and Clean out Baskets
Skimming the pool's surface by hand every few days is one of the fastest and easiest ways to keep your pool clean. Floating debris will eventually sink, becoming harder to remove. Use a long-handled net called a hand skimmer or leaf skimmer to remove leaves, bugs and other unwanted items. Skimming significantly increases the efficiency of the pool's circulation system and lowers the amount of chlorine you'll need to add to your pool. Cleaning out strainer baskets at least once a week also helps circulation and lowers chlorine demands. Locate strainer baskets attached to the side of aboveground pools and in the pool deck of inground pools. Simply remove the plastic basket and shake it out; spraying the inside with a hose can help dislodge stubborn objects.
 6.Vacuum the Pool and Brush Walls and Tile
 A pool should be vacuumed every week to keep water clear and reduce the amount of chemicals you need to add to it. There are many types of pool vacuums. If you have a manual design, work it back and forth all over the surface of the pool like you would if vacuuming carpet. It's good form to slightly overlap each stroke. Check the filter each time you vacuum, and clean it if necessary.
 But vacuuming isn't the only maintenance that should be done once a week. Brushing the walls and tile helps minimize algae buildup and calcium deposits so they don't fester and become larger problems. The material your pool walls are made of dictates what kind of cleaning tools you should use. Select a stiff brush for plaster-lined concrete pools and a softer brush for vinyl or fiberglass walls. For tiles, use a soft brush to prevent scratching or degradation of grout. A pumice stone, putty knife or a half-and-half mixture of water and muriatic acid can also work well.
 7. Clean the Pool Filter
 There are three kinds of pool filters: cartridge, sand and diatomaceous earth. While there are different maintenance procedures for each type, all require periodic cleaning depending on the type of filter and how often a pool is used. Cleaning the filter more often than recommended can actually hinder the filtration process. A clean filter is less efficient than one with a mild amount of dirt in it because the dirt helps trap other particles, which removes debris from the water. However, you don't want to let the filter get too dirty. A sign that it's time to clean is an increase in flow between the pressure gauge and flow meter. Clean the filter when the difference reaches 10 to 15 pounds (4.5 to 6.8 kilograms) per square inch.
 8. Professionally Service the Heater
 Pool heaters typically require the least maintenance of all pool equipment. Gas heaters can work fine without being serviced for a couple years, and electric ones can last even longer. Consult your manufacturer's manual for specific care instructions. Sometimes, calcium scales build up inside the tubes of a heater and restrict flow, preventing the water from heating adequately. If this happens, recruit the help of a professional because the heater may need to be disassembled and have its tubes cleaned out with a wire brush or acid. Hiring someone to service your pool can cost $100 or more per month, depending on the maintenance your pool requires.
 9. Keep dogs out
 Dogs often love to jump in after their owners and play around in the pool, but chlorine isn’t good for canine companions. Not only will the pool irritate Fido’s skin, but the pool will get dirtier and hairier faster. Keeping up with dog hair in the filters may become a full time job in the summer with dogs in the pool. If the family just can’t stand to let the dog wait out the fun on the sidelines, the chlorine levels need to be kept below 3.0 PPM for safety.
 10. Keep a cool pool
 Pools cost energy to run and maintain, and keeping a pool above 82 degrees may offer a homeowner a much higher electricity bill. Instead of keeping the temperature so high, it’s less expensive to keep a solar cover on the water. There are also options for solar-powered pool heaters, which will also save energy.
 Although environmental factors such as humidity and temperature will impact the rate at which the pool loses water, the average water loss shouldn’t be much more than a quarter of an inch per day. Measuring water loss is easiest by placing a weighted bucket on the stairs and marking the water level on the side of the bucket. Big drops in water levels might signal a leak in the pool.
 Using these easy and unique pool maintenance tips allows for a pool owner to have a cleaner pool each summer, which requires less maintenance and time spent pouring chemicals into the water. A clean and clear pool also offers a much more enjoyable swimming experience for the family. A well-maintained, regularly serviced pool will save you money in the long run.

  10 Pool Maintenance Tips That You Need To Try Right Now
 The idea of having a pool in your own backyard will always be incredibly glamourous. It’s easy to give into daydreams of hosting weekend parties, adopting an invigorated fitness routine that includes laps after work, and spending long afternoons lounging poolside while cultivating the perfect tan.
 But, in those daydreams, one crucial element of pool ownership is often forgotten: the maintenance. Without a proper maintenance routine, your pool could succumb to a variety of less-than-luxurious conditions – green water, broken filters, and algae build up, just to name a few. And, no one wants to lay by a pool that’s seen better days.

  1. Make A Skimming and Scrubbing A Part Of Life
 Skimming the leaves and debris off of the surface of the water is a no-brainer, but it bears repeating. For a truly pristine pool, skimming  should be done daily.
 If you have a bit of money to spend, consider buying a robot vacuum that will clean the bottom of the pool for you. This Polaris Pool 360 ranks middle-of-the-road in terms of pricing and consistently receives five-star performance reviews
 In addition to skimming, you need to scrub  the sides of the pool to prevent algae build-up. Thankfully, that doesn’t need to be done quite as often. You can get away with scrubbing once every other week. Just look for any growths and go at them with a scrub brush to keep your siding looking fresh and clean.
 For those particularly stubborn spots that won’t go away with any amount of elbow grease? Repurpose an old sock. Fill it with chlorine and let it sit on top of the spot for a few hours before scrubbing once more. The chlorine will eat away at the algae and you’ll finally have a use for those socks without pairs. It’s a win-win.
 Here are 10 pool maintenance tips that you need to try right now. Whether you’ve just opened your pool for the very first time or you’ve been a proud owner for years, check out these tips to get your summer season off to the right start.
 2. Think Of The Filter As Your Pool’s Kidneys
 Just as your kidneys are constantly working to remove impurities from your body, your pool’s filter is responsible for removing impurities from the water – think dirt, leaves, and even small toys.
 Most of the time, the pool can be cleaned by turning off the filter, removing the filter cap located on the pool deck, lifting out the filter basket, and removing any debris before replacing everything. It’s Local to clean out your filter basket at least once a week.
 Once a month you’ll also want to clean out the pipes utilized by your filter system, which you can do by backwashing. To do so, simply set your filter to “backwash,” remove the leaf basket and clean it out. Then turn on your pump and let it run until the waste pipe ejects clear water.
 A final note on turning the filter on and off: Doing so too often can cause the filter’s mechanics to crack. Set your filter on a timer and allow it to run for at least six hours a day.
 3. Pools Need Consistent Chemical Levels
 Chemical levels are arguably one of the most important facets of pool maintenance.  Improperly balanced water looks murky, irritates skin and eyes, and can cause your pool to become a breeding ground for bacteria.
 Ideally, you should test the water at least once a week. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), there are six chemical levels that need to be considered:
 ·         Cyanuric Acid – Protects chlorine from sunlight and determines the required Free Chlorine level. An ideal reading for outdoor pools is 30- 50.
·         Free Chlorine – A sanitizer which keeps your pool water safe and free of germs.
·         Acidity/Alkalinity – Also known as the PH level, acidity needs to be kept between 7.5 and 7.8 to prevent irritation and protect the pool equipment from eroding.
·         Total Alkalinity –  Helps keep the PH in balance. Levels should be within range of 60-120.
·         Calcium Hardness – Appropriate levels help prevent plaster damage. Aim for 220-350, but lower for pools with vinyl siding.
 Testing the water is easy. Simply buy a few testing kits from your local pool store. Fill it with a sample of your pool’s water. Add the provided solution to the testing kit and close the vials. After a few seconds, your sample water will change color and a comparison of the sample water to the colors shown on the testing kit should allow you to determine the current chemical levels. You should adjust the levels, as needed, to achieve an ideal balance.
 When all the chemicals are properly balanced, the water should be crystal clear, have no scent, and leave very little residue on your skin.
 4. Chemicals Costing Too Much? Give Baking Soda A Try
 There’s no denying that pool chemicals can be expensive to purchase, so why not get a little help straight from the grocery store?
 Most pool stores suggest using sodium bicarbonate to control the alkalinity of a pool without drastically reducing the PH levels. They will try to  sell overpriced solutions in order to get the job done.
 As it turns out, regular baking soda does the same job as sodium bicarbonate for only a fraction of the price. All baking soda boxes even have “sodium bicarbonate” listed on their ingredients label. Take a look!
 If you’re worried that using baking soda will mean doing a lot of complicated mathematical conversions, don’t be. Baking soda has the same concentration of sodium bicarbonate per pound as the solutions, so the amount you’d need to add to your water would be identical.
  Keeping your pool sparkling clean doesn't have to be as cumbersome as you might think. All pools are different, and so are their maintenance needs. However, they all share one commonality: The secret to pristine pool health is regular, routine care. If you choose to handle common problems like murky water or broken pumps on your own, make sure to always consult manufacturers' manuals before fixing or using equipment. No matter if you rely on a service company to take care of your pool, you still need to do a few things on your own to ensure your pool stays in good condition for years.
  5. Skim Debris and Clean out Baskets
Skimming the pool's surface by hand every few days is one of the fastest and easiest ways to keep your pool clean. Floating debris will eventually sink, becoming harder to remove. Use a long-handled net called a hand skimmer or leaf skimmer to remove leaves, bugs and other unwanted items. Skimming significantly increases the efficiency of the pool's circulation system and lowers the amount of chlorine you'll need to add to your pool. Cleaning out strainer baskets at least once a week also helps circulation and lowers chlorine demands. Locate strainer baskets attached to the side of aboveground pools and in the pool deck of inground pools. Simply remove the plastic basket and shake it out; spraying the inside with a hose can help dislodge stubborn objects.
 6.Vacuum the Pool and Brush Walls and Tile
 A pool should be vacuumed every week to keep water clear and reduce the amount of chemicals you need to add to it. There are many types of pool vacuums. If you have a manual design, work it back and forth all over the surface of the pool like you would if vacuuming carpet. It's good form to slightly overlap each stroke. Check the filter each time you vacuum, and clean it if necessary.
 But vacuuming isn't the only maintenance that should be done once a week. Brushing the walls and tile helps minimize algae buildup and calcium deposits so they don't fester and become larger problems. The material your pool walls are made of dictates what kind of cleaning tools you should use. Select a stiff brush for plaster-lined concrete pools and a softer brush for vinyl or fiberglass walls. For tiles, use a soft brush to prevent scratching or degradation of grout. A pumice stone, putty knife or a half-and-half mixture of water and muriatic acid can also work well.
 7. Clean the Pool Filter
 There are three kinds of pool filters: cartridge, sand and diatomaceous earth. While there are different maintenance procedures for each type, all require periodic cleaning depending on the type of filter and how often a pool is used. Cleaning the filter more often than recommended can actually hinder the filtration process. A clean filter is less efficient than one with a mild amount of dirt in it because the dirt helps trap other particles, which removes debris from the water. However, you don't want to let the filter get too dirty. A sign that it's time to clean is an increase in flow between the pressure gauge and flow meter. Clean the filter when the difference reaches 10 to 15 pounds (4.5 to 6.8 kilograms) per square inch.
 8. Professionally Service the Heater
 Pool heaters typically require the least maintenance of all pool equipment. Gas heaters can work fine without being serviced for a couple years, and electric ones can last even longer. Consult your manufacturer's manual for specific care instructions. Sometimes, calcium scales build up inside the tubes of a heater and restrict flow, preventing the water from heating adequately. If this happens, recruit the help of a professional because the heater may need to be disassembled and have its tubes cleaned out with a wire brush or acid. Hiring someone to service your pool can cost $100 or more per month, depending on the maintenance your pool requires.
 9. Keep dogs out
 Dogs often love to jump in after their owners and play around in the pool, but chlorine isn’t good for canine companions. Not only will the pool irritate Fido’s skin, but the pool will get dirtier and hairier faster. Keeping up with dog hair in the filters may become a full time job in the summer with dogs in the pool. If the family just can’t stand to let the dog wait out the fun on the sidelines, the chlorine levels need to be kept below 3.0 PPM for safety.
 10. Keep a cool pool
 Pools cost energy to run and maintain, and keeping a pool above 82 degrees may offer a homeowner a much higher electricity bill. Instead of keeping the temperature so high, it’s less expensive to keep a solar cover on the water. There are also options for solar-powered pool heaters, which will also save energy.
 Although environmental factors such as humidity and temperature will impact the rate at which the pool loses water, the average water loss shouldn’t be much more than a quarter of an inch per day. Measuring water loss is easiest by placing a weighted bucket on the stairs and marking the water level on the side of the bucket. Big drops in water levels might signal a leak in the pool.
 Using these easy and unique pool maintenance tips allows for a pool owner to have a cleaner pool each summer, which requires less maintenance and time spent pouring chemicals into the water. A clean and clear pool also offers a much more enjoyable swimming experience for the family. A well-maintained, regularly serviced pool will save you money in the long run.

10 Essential Summer Safety Tips for Dog
Summer’s here and with it comes one of the best times of year to explore the outdoors with your pup! Swimming, hiking, road-tripping, camping—there’s no end to the thrilling activities you can share with your animal buddy. But summer also presents some unique challenges and health concerns, principally intense sunshine and extreme heat. To keep the fun flowing and emergency vet visits at bay, here are ten Essential Summer Safety Tips for Dogs.
 Keep them Cool
This is the most obvious but also most important rule of the summer. Here’s some quick tips to make sure your pooch stays cool during the summer months:
Before walking, hiking, visiting the dog park and other outdoor activities, consider the temperature and humidity. As a guide, if the humidity and temperature add up to more than 150, it’s too hot for your pup. (For example, if it’s 95°F and the humidity is 60, which adds up to 155, it’s best to wait till it’s cooler)
Always bring along water and take plenty of breaks when exploring the outdoors
Ensure there’s a shady space and plenty of water when your pup’s in the backyard
Keep your house cool, too (whether through A/C or fans)
If your doggo exhibits signs of exhaustion—weakness, excessive drooling, heavy panting, glazed eyes, vomiting—end physical activity immediately and consult a vet ASAP.
Watch out for Heat Stroke
Typical canine temperature is between 100°-103. Heat stroke, which can permanently damage organs and even kill your pet, takes hold around 105°F. So, if worse comes to worse and your pup succumbs to heatstroke, you’ll need to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms quickly. Your dog’s life could depend on it. Here’s what to look out for:
Bright red gums, or gums that appear dry
Thick or excessive drooling
Diarrhea
Loss of balance
Heavy panting
Rapid heart rate
Dark stool
Lack of urine
If you witness these symptoms, transport your pup to a cooler space as soon as possible and and wipe them down with a cool, damp cloth. Have them drink cool—but not cold—water to avoid vomiting, which will only worsen dehydration and overheating. As soon as your pup is stable, visit a vet ASAP.
 Keep the Bugs Away
youtube
Fleas, ticks and mosquitoes can ruin otherwise enjoyable summer days. In addition to causing serious skin irritation, these pests can transmit life-threatening illnesses and parasites to your pet (like heartworms from mosquito bites, for example). To protect your pet from these bugs, and to prevent pesticide exposure to you and your family, use a non-toxic, pet-safe bug repellent on your dog when outside this summer.
 Do Not Shave Your Dog
While shedding some hair can help humans stay cool, our dogs are a bit different. In fact, a dense coat can actually help keep your pooch cool, protecting them from the sun’s harmful rays. Shaving your dog’s fur makes them more vulnerable to a litany of heat-related complications, including heatstroke, sunburn and dehydration. For this reason, avoid shaving your dog during the summer season, or at any time for that matter.
 Practice Good Hygiene
From swimming to hiking, our pups tend to get much grimier in the summer season. Apart from the unpleasant odor of a dirty dog, poor hygiene can allow bacteria to build up on your pooch’s skin, causing irritation and in some cases illness. A filthy coat can also make your dog more susceptible to biting, disease-carrying pests. As a guide, bathe your pup monthly throughout the summer, more often if they’re adventurers or outdoor dogs (but not too often, over bathing can dry out your doggy’s skin). To avoid skin issues or exposure to harmful chemicals, always use a pet-safe shampoo sourced from natural ingredients.
 Never, Ever, Ever Leave Your Dog in a Hot Car
We’ve all heard this before, we all know it, and yet it still keeps happening. Even in temperatures as low as 80°F, your pup can suffer a stroke or perish in a hot car in just a few minutes—that’s all it takes! Under no circumstance, ever, ever leave your pooch in a warm or hot vehicle. No excuses.
 Avoid Sunburns
Did you know skin cancer is the most common kind of cancer in dogs? And just like in humans, sunburns can develop fast without notice, resulting in serious pain for days, even weeks. Especially if your dog has a short coat or is light-furred, apply pet-safe sunscreen every 3-5 hours when you and your pup go outside. Pay special attention to the ears, stomach area, and other spaces with little to no fur. We strongly suggest using only non-toxic, chemical-free sunscreen options.
 Protect Your Dog’s Paws
Ever burn your feet on hot concrete? Yeah, it’s no fun, and the painful blisters can persist for weeks. Ouch! Well, your pup is not immune to this condition either. To protect their paw pads from cooking in the summer heat, avoid asphalt, concrete and other hot surfaces (including the metal beds of pickup trucks!). To test whether a surface will harm your doggo’s paws, place the back of your hand on the surface for approximately 10 seconds. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your dog. Dog booties are another option for guarding your pooch’s feet during the summer months.
 Avoid Unfamiliar Grassy Spaces

Avoiding unfamiliar grassy lots can greatly reduce both your dog’s and your family’s exposure to chemical-based pesticides. Many outdoor spaces—such as public parks, local dog parks, and neighboring yards—are regularly treated with these harmful toxins. Unless you’re familiar with the space and how it’s maintained, it’s best to find another place for your dog to play. The risk is simply too great.
 Closely Monitor Water Activities
From bacteria and parasites in natural bodies of water, to chemicals and drowning hazards in pools, water activities can be risky for pets and pet owners. We’re not saying avoid the water outright—swimming with dogs and visiting the lake are some of our favorite things about summer—but you need to watch your pup closely when in or around water. Monitor your dog to ensure they don’t drink unfamiliar water, including that of creeks and chlorine-saturated pool water. Also, be sure to rinse off your pup’s fur after they’ve been for a swim to remove chlorine, natural water contaminants, and to check for parasites like leeches.

How To Deal With Parasites – Do You Have Them?
It may be difficult to believe, but more than 90% of humans will be infected with parasites within their lifetime! Most of the time we don’t even realize that we have them, and until such time that their numbers reach critical levels, we will ignorantly go about our business doing what we have always done. There is an enormous array of different parasites that any of us may be infected with, but we will deal with the most common ones within this article.
Parasites are everywhere! For example, they often begin their cycle in nasty places, such as in fecal matter. They then find their way onto pets, then it’s not long before they are in your carpets, and with very little warning they have found their way into your body. Once they travel here they can happily remain undetected for years! It’s an unpleasant thought to realize that whilst we sleep they are still wriggling away inside!
At any one time, over 90% of the world is struggling with these microscopic organisms, which steal nutrients and rob us of our energy. In fact, there are over 1000 different types of parasites that can infect us as human beings. Unfortunately, though, only 1% actually show up in regular stool analysis, done under conventional testing.
Be that as it may, the most common parasites that you will come up against are Giardia, Hookworms, Flukes, Pinworms, Roundworms and Tapeworms. Each Parasite is disturbing in their own right. If you suspect that you have been infected then read on for symptoms.
Roundworms: In fact, the World Health Organization reports that over 25% of the world’s population has roundworms. Shocking, right? That’s about one billion people who are infected with roundworms. These “little” worms can grow up to 15 inches long within the intestines, and are capable of laying more than 300,000 eggs in a day. The reproductive cycle of the roundworm is very fast, meaning that within two months, they can begin to lay eggs. However, they are very sensitive to conventional medication for worming. If there are over 10 inches long, though, they can be more difficult to get rid of. In the most extreme cases, you may need surgery to remove them, followed by nutritional support to replenish nutrients lost in these cases.
Pinworms: These little guys are fairly prolific as well, and over 500,000 million individuals are currently infected worldwide. Pinworms are often responsible for the intense itching around the anus at night. If you are at the itching stage, this means that you have most likely had them for at least 2 – 3 months. After you go to sleep, these guys often sneak out and lay their eggs on the skin directly surrounding the anus.
In order to confirm that you have pinworms, you need to inspect the stools with a torch. If pinworms exist, they’ll glow and they’ll be roughly a third of an inch long. You can also place a strip of tape around the anus and then remove it and see if it’s got eggs or worms on it. Pinworms are very, very contagious and can spread throughout your house very quickly. Keep fingernails short for everyone in the house so that contamination isn’t as likely while you sleep, and shower at least once a day, keeping bed sheets, clothing, and carpets as clean as possible, too.
Giardia: Giardia is a common parasite that’s found in water. It resists chlorine and can survive in cold water for up to two months. It has a hard outer shell, which makes it more difficult to killed than other parasites.
Most giardia parasites come from hot tubs, swimming pools, ponds and lakes, as well as rivers. Symptoms will usually appear within a week, including nausea, diarrhoea, “greasy” tools, cramps and gas. A drug called Furoxone is most commonly prescribed for this type of parasite.
Hookworms: Hookworms can appear very nasty indeed. They usually enter through your skin, either through your feet or other areas, and then use your bloodstream to get to your intestines and lungs. You may be red or itchy where the newly hatched larvae have entered through your skin, and after infestation you may have a dry cough, wheezing, and sputum with blood in it. If they enter your intestine, you will lose your appetite, you may have profound abdominal pain, and you’ll usually have significant bouts of diarrhoea.
Flukes: These guys are considered to be the second biggest danger to society after the Malaria parasite. The World Health Organization has been attempting to control this parasite in third world countries for many years now. Flukes like to call blood vessels home, and often pass their eggs on through feces and urine.
More than 200 million people throughout the world are infected with flukes, with symptoms mimicking flu such as fever, chills and cough. The eggs are more of a problem than the worms are, and prolonged or repeated infections can cause permanent damage in the intestines, liver, lungs and bladder.
Tapeworms: Tape forms are an “interesting” parasite, growing to a length of more than 20 feet long if left unchecked. If you think you may have a tapeworm, take a look at your feces, because pieces will break off in your stool every so often. However, if the head remains embedded in your intestinal tissue, you will remain infected and the tapeworm will continue to grow. Most commonly, tapeworm infection comes through the consumption of beef, so make sure you cook your meat carefully.
In closing, parasites are everywhere. We are talking kids, dogs, cats and adults. There are many precautionary things one can do such as washing your hands, being careful with the water you drink, and cooking your food.
If you are looking to prevent their return, we would suggest you maintain a preventative dose of Miracle Mineral Supplement, which is effectively a solution of chlorine dioxide, and has been proven to be an enormously powerful tool against eliminating pathogens from the body – especially parasites!
