			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Replacement water filters. Is the cost of replacement cartridges a problem?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that you need a water filter in your home, the best water filter in fact. The Ralph Nader Institute estimates there are up to 2100 toxins in our drinking water.</p>
<p>But some water filters are water purifiers that have a part that needs to be replaced from time to time. Not all water purification systems have parts that need regular replacement, but some do. Is this a problem?</p>
<p>The filter medium that filters out all those impurities can become clogged with contaminants and will work less effectively over time, so you need to buy a new filter cartridge.</p>
<p>You can feel great when you throw out that cartridge because you&#8217;ve just thrown away those contaminants that you didn&#8217;t want to drink.</p>
<p>But it costs money to buy replacement water cartridges and some people choose their water filter based not on choosing the best water filter but on the cost of the cartridges. And that&#8217;s not the best way to choose your water filter.</p>
<p>You need to buy the best water filter to filter your water and keep you healthy. You shouldn&#8217;t factor in the cost of replacing the filter just to save some bucks, and end up with an inferior water purifier.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s quite true that cost is also an issue for many too. And there is good news for those people.</p>
<p>The best water filters aren&#8217;t in fact the most expensive water filters, even with the cost of the cartridges factored in.</p>
<p>In fact the figures show that the best water filters sell for around $100 and with replacements factored in costs 9.6 cents per gallon. Compare that to equivalent products from other manufacturers at- cents per gallon, 20 cents per gallon and 25 cents per gallon and you can see the difference.</p>
<p>In fact of 10 drinking water filters tested the best water filter was the cheapest water filter to buy and use. Good news for anyone on a budget.</p>
<p>So if youre looking for a water filter and are wondering about the cost of cartridge replacements then rest easy, the best water filter is also the cheapest water filter to buy and use. The best replacement water filters are in fact extremely good value.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve probably already heard that getting more Omega 3 polyunsaturated fats in your diet is really good for your health. Really good.</p>
<p>More and more scientists are finding more areas of our health that can benefit from getting more Omega 3 into our bodies. Our heart, our brain, our internal organs, our eyes, so many things need more Omega 3.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s 2 essential fatty acids found in fish oil, the best source of Omega 3 fats. One is DHA and the other is EPA. DHA is the most important, but EPA is pretty important too. Both are what are essential polyunsaturated fats.</p>
<p>And as there is plenty of these in fish oil most Omega 3 supplements are based on fish oil.</p>
<p>But there is also a plant based Omega 3 fatty acid. Its called ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). The benefit to the body is that it converts ALA to DHA, although there is debate about how much ALA actually gets converted, some say not a lot. For that reason DHA from fish oil is better, because your body doesnt need to convert it.</p>
<p>The way your body gets  these healthy Omega 3 fats is through what you eat. Now of course Omega 3  fats are so important to us that they should be taken daily, and the best way to do that is using high quality Omega 3 fish oil supplements. But theres absolutely no reason why you shouldnt also add more Omega 3 fats to your diet as well as take daily supplements.</p>
<p>There are good fats and bad fats. Saturated fat found mainly in dairy products and meat, are not healthy fats. But if you eat the right foods with the good fats in them then youre eating better food and getting healthier from what you eat.</p>
<p>Some oils like olive oil and flaxseed oil have good fats too, for cooking. And there are vegetables that do too like brussel sprouts and spinach. </p>
<p>The vegetables have ALA but if you&#8217;re taking your fish oil supplements you&#8217;re getting your DHA and EPA from that source. And you can eat fish but the FDA tells us not to eat too much fish due to chemical contamination.</p>
<p>So whilst you really need to be taking daily fish oil supplements, if you concentrate on adding good Omega 3 foods like those above to your diet youre also doing yourself a favor. So start concentrating on cooking with Omega 3 foods. Omega 3 cooking is not hard, if you have a good Omega 3 cookbook.</p>
<p>A good Omega 3 cookbook should have plenty of great recipes with Omega rich foods and so you can do some really good healthy cooking. Cook some fish recipes and concentrate on cooking with the high Omega oils and get the right vegetables into your cooking.</p>
<p>So remember, whilst you should be taking daily fish oil supplements to get the maximum benefit from those good fats, its well worthwhile also concentrating on using Omega 3 recipes when doing your cooking.</p>
<p>Not all fishoil supplements are the same and you need to know how to source the best fish oil capsules. You can find out how to do that on my website.</p>
