"...social capital otherwise defined as the “connectedness” of a group built through behaviors such as social networking and civic engagement, along with attitudes such as trust and reciprocity. Greater social capital has been associated with healthier behaviors, better self-rated health, and less negative results such as heart disease."

In the mean time a recipe for making your own neti pot salt solution

I am working on a mega post likely divided up into several sub-posts about defining sustainability. I'm not sure how it will be packaged yet. In the mean time, I am going to post some sustainable practices I have adopted around the house.

Number 1: Making my own neti pot salt solutions. I love my neti pot and I use it every morning. It clears out my nose and sinuses and is a great way to start the day. My allergies are virtually non-existant and I feel like i have greatly reduced the number of colds I get. At least I've changed the type of colds I get- I no longer get runny nosed, sneazy colds, I now get just a few days of vague acheyness and tiredness, which is weird, but I think is a cold. Anywho.... I always have bought the pre-mixed packets to put in my neti pot like this

They're great, they make my nose feel great and they're easy. But they're not terribly sustainable because I throw away one of these little packs every day. So I learned how to make it myself. Turns out it's also easy. Here is what you need:

1. Empty glass jar with lid. Make sure both are clean.

2. Good quality baking soda that you're happy putting up your nose. I used Bob's Red Mill. Note: baking powder and baking soda are not the same thing. You want baking soda.

3. Good quality sea salt without iodine. Go for the fine grain (not coarse grain).

Mix equal parts baking soda and salt in your jar. Mix well. When it's time to add to the neti pot, put in about a 1/2 a teaspoon to 8 oz of water. Depending on your nose and desires, you can add a little more salt than baking soda, but don't go over 2 parts salt to one part baking soda. Enjoy!
