Do you want to know which foundation is best for your skin, or which walking shoe wins for comfort and flexibility? Health magazine put the latest good-for-you products in beauty, food and fitness to the test in order to determine America’s healthiest buys.Beauty
For ten years, Health magazine has used a panel of dermatologists to select the healthiest beauty products. This year, we picked twenty-five of the best, from your head to your toes. The winners include:

Food
With more than 30,000 different products at your typical grocery store, there’s no way to scan all the labels and taste everything too, so Health magazine’s experts did it for you. The 25 winners are all nutritious, delicious and available at most grocers and specialty markets.

Water sources, such as that of Mwamongu Village,Tanzania, may be contaminated

Millions of people become sick each year from drinking contaminated water. Children are especially susceptible. An estimated 1.5 billion cases of diarrhea occur each year, resulting in the death of nearly 2 million children. Worldwide, about 1.3 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water, including nearly half the population of sub-Sahara Africa. Yet, in many of the most severely effected regions, sunshine is an abundant source of energy that not only can cook food, but can also heat water to temperatures that kill harmful microbes, making water safe to drink. This procedure is called solar water pasteurization.

E. coli bacteria (left plate) thrive in water sources, but are easily killed through solar water pasteurization (right plate)

It has been known since the late 1880s, when Louis Pasteur conducted groundbreaking research on bacteria, that heat can kill pathogenic (disease-causing) microbes. Most people know that contaminated water can be made safe by boiling. What is not well known is that contaminated water can be pasteurized at temperatures well below boiling, as can milk, which is commonly pasteurized at 71°C (160°F) for 15 seconds.

The chart below indicates the temperatures at which the most common waterborne pathogens are rapidly killed, thus resulting in at least 90 percent of the microbes becoming inactivated in one minute at the given temperature. (The 90 percent reduction is an indicator frequently used to express the heat sensitivity of various microbes.) Thus, five minutes at this temperature would cause at least a 99.999 percent (5 log) reduction in viable microbes capable of causing disease.

The Water Cure: An interview with Dr. Batmanghelidj

Physicians rarely promote the curative properties of H2O, but Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D. has studied water’s effect on the human body and has found it to be one of the best pain relievers and preventative therapies in existence. I was one of the last people to interview the late Dr. Batmanghelidj, and I listened in awe as he shared his research and stories about “The Healing Power of Water.”
