Alternatives

The body and the environment may also suffer problems due to the conditions that are expose, or also they can be natural things. Despite this we can have alternatives to help us improve the conditions of the body and the environment.

There are very simple ways to take care of our body, such as:

 Drink more water. Your body is 90 percent water and needs water for almost every function. Many of the aches and pains, headaches, and other symptoms we experience would lessen if we just drank more water.

Take a brisk walk in nature. Trees and other plants are regularly turning our carbon dioxide into rich oxygen we can breathe. Getting rich, oxygenated air help kill bacteria and viruses, improves breathing, and may even help prevent cancer.

 Eat 2 or 3 pieces or servings of fruit (count ½ cup of fruit like grapes, blueberries, cherries, etc. as a serving). Brilliantly-colored fruit is packed with disease-fighting phytonutrients like proanthocyanins that protect against brain diseases and quercetin which helps alleviate allergies and breathing problems.

There are millions of ways to take care of our body, fast and simple. Just as there are for the body, also exist to protect the environment:

 Recycle: This is the most common and, in most cities, the easiest, most accessible thing we can do for the environment. Most cities in Los Angeles County provide separate containers for trash, recyclables and garden clippings as well as convenient pickup. We can recycle many household items, including computers, printer cartridges, aluminum cans, paper, plastic bottles, milk jugs, batteries, steel containers, glass and much more.

 Use renewable energy at home and work: Use renewable energy sources such as wind, sun and geothermal; rather than nonrenewables such as oil and natural gas. Many new American technologies are available, such as solar panels and solar shingles.

 Walk the walk. Instead of driving a car, walk or ride a bicycle to the grocery store or anywhere else. If the destination is too far, consider other means of transportation. The traditional gasoline car is the worst polluter. New electric cars are affordable for many and completely free of toxic emissions. Consider the Nissan Leaf, the Chevy Volt or the Tesla or any one of the new, "green" cars.

With these options, we can realize that the alternatives are easy to perform and efficient. They can been made without something expensive or something material, just doing our part to help ourselves to improve the conditions of our body or to help our planet.
