Canoeing or Kayaking down the Lower Price River.

I ran across a couple of websites touting the benefits and caution of going down the Price River from Woodside to the Green River.  I figured there was interest if people knew about it.  Apparently at least a couple of people knew and were interested enough to run it and devote webpages to it.  I love it.

I knew there is potential danger around water but I didn't think the Price River was this treacherous but we should always be cautious especially in the outdoors and around water.  This website has also provided the following link:

Not much information available on cubic feet per second and such.  Like the author says early summer is likely the best time.  Always look north or west for storms that may cause flooding on the Price River.  When it comes, it comes BIG.  According to this graph there have been six major floods this year.

A comment from this river runner:

2011-06-05 11:57:24 (538 days ago) itsthewater10 (153176) We ran this at a level around 795 CFS. Very fun overnight duckie trip, or a LONG day trip. The little big drop had quite a bit of wood reaching from river right to river center. Most of our group portaged, one ran the small squeeze on river left. Scout and portage are river left Very active, very fun trip. Most rocks were covered at this level.

3 Health Benefits of Distilled Water.

http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/3-health-benefits-distilled-water/

1. Removing Contaminants 
2. Elimination of Chemicals
3. No Additives

The Flipside to No Additives

Distillation will remove impurities found in water but will also remove the naturally occurring minerals. The World Health Organization has stated that 14 necessary micronutrients are absent from distilled water; our bodies do require these minerals to function. If you’re not receiving your daily amount of these minerals in your water, it is necessary to get them from food sources or a multivitamin.

How to Make Super Water

Add the following to 1 gallon of distilled water to give it a boost of enzymes and nutrients:

• 2 tablespoons of non-pasteurized, organic apple cider vinegar
• Juice squeezed from ½ organic lemon
• 2 ounces of organic aloe vera juice

To receive the maximum benefits that super water offers, divide your body weight by two to determine the number of ounces of super distilled water to drink daily.

5 Health Benefits of eating Pomegranates.

http://www.motherearthliving.com/natural-health/5-health-benefits-eating-pomegranates.aspx

1.  Heart Health. 
2. Cancer Prevention. 
3.  Arthritis Aid. 
4.  Clean Teeth. 
5.  Aging Support. 

 From warding off cancer to easing arthritis pain, pomegranates are useful for treating a number of ailments associated with aging. A 2006 study also found that polyphenols in pomegranates reduce buildup of brain plaque (proteins) that damages and disrupts brain communication and can eventually lead to the memory loss and cognitive decline that characterize Alzheimer’s disease.

Blueberries.

Blueberries are among the highest anti-oxidant value fruits. The ORAC value of 100 g fresh blueberry is 5562 TE (Trolex equivalents). Their antioxidant value largely derived from poly-phenolic anthocyanidin compounds such as chlorogenic acid, tannins, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol.

Aronia Berry.



Just a few quick facts and links for the Aronia Berry: 

Aronia Melanocarpa. 

Also called Chokeberry or Black Chokeberry. 

Not Chokecherry.

Aronia Berry and Cancer: Of numerous berry or other natural products tested, aronia berry continues to show exceptional activity in fighting cancer. Pilkington, Rooprai etc. all showed that aronia extracts introduced to highly malignant brain tumor lines slowed down regulation of MMP-9 activity and, when introduced, completely killed cancer cells within 24 hours. In independent studies at University of Maryland, Cornell and Purdue aronia showed remarkable apoptosis in various cancer cell lines.

A fruit called “Black Chokeberry” grows upon Aronia Melanocarpa, which is one of the best known sources on the planet for concentrated antioxidants, including the very beneficial Anthocyanin. (Some estimates show it with over 20 TIMES more anthocyanin content (gram for gram in powdered form) than the next closest fruit, the Acai berry!)

Aronia has three times as many antioxidants as blueberries:

ORAC Values
Aronia fruits have high concentrations of flavonoids causing great interest in them because they are potent antioxidants. Aronia has a higher Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) than other domestic foods based on the reported results of foods for antioxidantactivity in 2010.
The total ORAC score for raw Aronia fruit was over 16,000 µmol TE/100g. TE/100g is (micromoles Trolox Equivalents per 100 grams of fruit. These are the standard units for this ORAC test). Blueberries have ORAC score of a little over 4,600 µmol TE/100g. Raw Açai are reported to have a total ORAC value of only 5,500 µmol TE/100g which is far lower than the raw Aronia ORAC score. Acai a fruit imported from South America is a berry that has been in the headlines. Acai is one of the leading marketed antioxident fruits but its ORAC is low compared to Aronia. Research shows Aronia has a higher ORAC than any other domestically grown and consumed berries in the USA.

Aronia berries have the highest levels of natural antioxidants of any fruit.

More than even blueberries and the vaunted pomegranate, aronia berries are the richest fruit source of anthocyanins and other antioxidants.

Pucker up and prepare to experience the benefits of the tart Aronia Berry. The term "super food" gets used a lot, but when it comes to these berries and their juice health benefits, the term is well-deserved. These berries are a genuine miracle of nature. Aronia is a low-maintenance and nearly a pest-free crop. It is easy to grow the aronia plant organically because it does not need to be protected against pathogens, pest, and diseases, as a result the fruit does not contain traces of pesticides.
They are 3 times healthier than blueberries. The unique taste of the berry is one of life's unique experiences. Their high antioxidant levels, and high tannin levels make these berries tart. The berries are often made into juice mixed with other juice or made into jelly or other products. Another juice or sweetener is often added to reduce the tart taste
