Recharge & Recycle EV Batteries vs Buying Gasoline & Tail Pipe Pollution : The Amazing Lithium Ion BEV Technology

Nissan Ellure Concept : Image from CleanMPG.COM 
Buy replacement batteries instead of gasoline for 8-15 years of pure EV driving. The old traction battery of battery electric vehicle often the largest cost single component, it fades as it ages, especially in hot climates; chemical entropy in batteries = wears out YMMV. 

When the old EV battery weak replace it, and bam your electric vehicle has like new range again! The EV battery recycled, no gasoline was burned during your vehicles use :) No tail pipe emissions near your home because of your EV. You can charge the EV in indoor spaces safely, like your smartphone, or using an extension cord & electrical outlet. A proper L2 setup now affordable too!

2.9 billion gallons of fuel wasted & turned into needless air pollution

New Technology Offers Better Ways Forward

Electric, Plug-in Hybrid & Hybrid vehicle can reduce emissions, with auto-idle Stop, No or super extra ultra special low emissions + advanced technology in applied vehicle platforms widely produced by most automakers : the benefits of vehicle electrification already well proven across battery starting, lighting, ignition system, safety systems, emissions controls, electronic features & enhanced functionality, heated seats, cameras, driver assists, stability control and other electronic features that enhance stability, performance, emissions reduction, safety and sustainability.

Eco Friendly Vehicle Platforms

Made of highly recyclable materials, most vehicles contain lots of steel, copper, aluminum, plastics, glass, electronics and other rare earth containing magnets of special alloys, optics, sensors and other recoverable modular reusable assets. Able to operate for 20 years or 200,000 miles, most modern vehicle are fairly reliable to use regularly with minimal maintenance, especially electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf.

Chemical Externalities

More transportation costs from particulate matter & greenhouse gas emissions + trace unburned fuel chemical carcinogen vapors & fumes from refueling vapor emissions & vehicle vapor pressure fuel system evaporation losses of higher boiling point lighter petroleum distillate components that cause brain damage * damage to all body cells & organ systems, tissues and membranes damaged by toxic pollutants, especially the delicate lung membranes that can rapidly absorb airborne pollutants like tire & brake dust, fumes, soot, particles, smoke, dust, grease, fluid vapors, oils, condensation drips, leaks, hydraulic fluids like brake & power steering fluid * a huge array of combustion byproduct emissions in older poorly maintained vehicles.

Health Problems from Traffic Stress, Accidents & Tail-Pipe Emission Externalities

Sickness, disease, suffering, all preventable. Accidents, paralysing & killing + death & injuries galore: inattentive, distracted, confused, irrational, emotional, human drivers senselessly harming other humans with mistakes made while controlling vehicles of all kinds. The pollution emitted because of the fuel energy system in internal combustion vehicles causes widespread preventable suffering with diseases caused by the pollution present in the exhaust gases + all the leaking fluids from vehicles mixing in with tire erosion dust gums and dust from brake pads toxic particulate matter from smoke & soot exhaust emissions. The skin & lungs & digestive system, eye membranes & your entire body cell system slowly absorbs traffic pollutants, causing diseases that share their origins from the toxic impacts on health that chemicals from transportation externalities like tire wear, brake pad operation & fuel burning for vehicle energy & heat. Even batteries have environmental toxic impacts because of the material mining for the battery materials, the distribution and moving of the materials and the end of use scraping energy impacts & costs of dealing with obsolete vehicles.

Climate Change

Entropy, chaos, destruction & impacts : transportation represents ones of mankinds dirtiest toxic industrialization commercialization. Raining pollution across all domains and sectors, the stress * physical impacts alone provide high costs. Injuries and fatalities from traffic accidents are a tragedy that can be avoided with computer controlled vehicles utilizing cognition mimic autonomous artificial intelligence deep learning powered dynamic vehicle safety & super efficient control surpassing human skill mastery piloting averages at the most basic digital levels, vastly exceeding the skill potential of any human pilot, the machines will offer unmatchable efficiency, longevity, low maintenance, lowest net energy or costs per mile, enhanced safety, ongoing optimization and continual improvements to the network and reduction of latency in all ways paving the way to elimination traffic congestion.

Low Temp Food & Fluid Safety

Cooking the goodness out of foods & burning our cells with too much heat (hot beverage hazard) & carcinogens formed during the toasting & roasting of certain carb rich foods. 

Cooking fresh fruit and veggies above 115 degrees Fahrenheit or 46 degrees Celsius destroys fragile biomolecules, enzymes, probiotics and other healthy components of raw foods that aid in digestion. Pay especially close attention to food prep hygiene when preparing raw foods for human consumption, we are not Crow's and our gut flora is unique and requires cleaner foods. We have to endure living for up to over 120 years, so we need to avoid consuming parasites and toxins of all kinds.

Carcinogen Acrylamide formed when starches found in many foods are heated to above 250 degrees Fahrenheit or 121 degrees Celsius. This provides additional evidence that eating charred foods has the same health consequences as smoking tobacco because the carcinogen Acrylamide is formed from high temp cooking of many foods like french fries and coffee. Sadly people like the distinctive brown crust & warm flavors that are created in the Maillard Reaction that gives roasted or toasted foods yummy flavors.

Fluids hotter than 126 degrees Fahrenheit or 52 degrees Celsius can burn the squamous cells inside your mouth, the membrane epithelial cells. Overheating these skin membrane cells causes skin cancer, just like UV and radiation exposure.

Easy Health Optimization

Lifestyle optimization spans a few different easy to understand areas of personal development & self improvement. 

Food & Fluids

Eating a healthy mix of foods as an omnivore can be confusing as each person has a unique mix of genes & digestion assisting gut flora. Try to eat a colorful mixture of natural minimally processed whole raw & low temp cooked foods of all kinds, paying attention to how your body responds to different foods. Avoid foods that cause allergic responses to your body, everyone has a unique chemical sensitivity.

Drink fluids like fresh clean water when you eat to help digestion. Many dry foods will absorb water from your body when you eat them. Avoid caffeinated or alcohol containing beverages at night, as they can reduce sleep efficiency or the effectiveness of each hour of sleep.

Fluids like clean water help your brain & heart health by flushing the bodies metabolic byproducts, created as we convert food calories into movement, thinking, poop, and CO2 breathing output gas. Avoid sugary fluids that contain strange or unhealthy chemicals. Try natural fluids without sweeteners or artificial ingredients. Think about what you are putting into your body!

Movemement 
Any movement gets your blood flowing, which keeps it from pooling up and creating stroke or embolism hazards associated with sitting too much too often. Get up and move around, as doing so increases circulation of blood to your brain, organs and tissues, helping to keep everything in good working order. Anything that is good for your heart is often also good for your brain, especially exercise.

Well established in scientific medical research, 30min to 1hr of moderate exercise daily can dramatically improve overall health & wellness. Even disabled people can get more healthy movement if their caretakers push them with creative solutions! Use that powerful mind & brain to cook up or look up more ways to move!

Improved mood, energy levels, range of motion, balance, coordination, cognitive performance & overall wellness, exercise promotes good blood flow that helps the brain function, which helps all other systems in the body function at a higher level.

Sleep Quality 

Getting enough high quality sleep helps the body perform self repairing automatic healing response processes that occur. Improving memory and cognitive function, when we sleep our brain shrinks like a sponge to squeeze out metabolites into the spinal fluid so the liver and kidneys and clean it up and purge it from our bodies in our poop and pee output streams.

Three things, caffeine too late in the day or too much, alcohol late at night & blue light from screens of all kinds, all impact health & wellness negatively by reducing sleep quality or degrading sleep architecture. Eat all of your foods earlier in the day and avoid eating too much sugar. Fasting from sundown until you wake up and can also promote health processes in your body while you are sleeping. Try drinking most of your water & health fluids earlier in the day as well to avoid having to go pee in the middle of the night.

Spiritual, Intellectual & Philosophical 

Healing thoughts about forgiveness, love, compassion, appreciation, and understanding can all induce healthy neurological peptide emission, endorphin release, and healing cofactor hormone release from the brain into your bodies cells. Having a healthy ideological framework or perspective can enhance your enjoyment of life in all of its facets, at all times, regardless of circumstance. Faith helps people by giving each person a unique appreciate for the mystery of life, the specialness of each human and all lifeforms that are not manmade. Having good mental health with a positive outlook on life can radically improve your enjoyment of all activities including sleep, sex, work, eating, exercise, etc.

Oral Care

Flossing is overlooked but the failure to floss is a leading cause of heart disease, gum disease and neurological vascular diseases. Brushing after meals and flossing before bed improves overall health and wellness by reducing the incubating of pathogenic bacterial that can proliferate in mouth but not survive in the acidic gut environment where hydrochloric acid and special gut flora keep a health bacterial balance.

Posture

Put pocket items in your front pockets, as sitting on a wallet on one side can push the spine out of alignment. This is important while seated at work, at home, while driving or anytime you are sitting. Many people destroy their phones with bending forces by sitting on phones stored in their back pant pockets.

Study good posture because having good posture can reduce neck pain, back pain, and it even improve cardiovascular performance by allowing your lungs to breath in more easily for enhance gas exchange that encourage blood flow to the brain and body. Try not to swallow air when you are eating, the entrapped gas causes bloating, stomach pain and can control to poor posture as we tend to slump over when feeling stomach pain. Focus on digestive health while studying posture for synergistic enhancement of wellness.

System of Systems

Your body is a system of systems that are all interlinked as an ecosystem of cells and flora, in our gut, on our skin, in all the tissues organs and even bones. What you eat & drink, how much you move, your sleep quality, oral hygiene & posture choices all affect your overall wellness, health & fitness. People that live a healthy lifestyle tend to enjoy life more throughout life, through all stages aging, and they enjoy high neurological function right up until death.

Health & Wellness are like photography, something to focus on for the living people, for people who are alive, to celebrate life and intelligence with a positive perspective on all things human. Together we are stronger and thats why I am sharing this article. I hope these ideas are informative, edifying, uplifting and encouraging. Please feel free to share my article, to copy & paste, my goal is to get ther information out there so that other people can think about it and integrate the powerful ideas into their live and the lives of people that love and care about.

Avoid Toxic Products & Toxic Thinking

Negativity, toxins and other junk that is evil steals life from people with sickness of the mind, body, spirit and life itself. Bad ideology takes away from people by stealing their joy, time, money, focus and efforts to foolish ends of toil, misery & pain that is entirely preventable with a healthy lifestyle focus. Think about it!

Don't spray perfume, pesticides, paint or other chemicals on your skin, your skin is an organ that absorbs things you put on it. When I was designing my first facial moisturizer skin serum I started by doing research on how skin works as an organ, its layers and functions, composition and biochemistry. 

Avoid toxic fumes, smoke, particulate matter, industrial gases and other air pollutants. These gas pollutants not only harm the membranes inside your lungs and sinus, they entry your body and cause cellular damage to all the cell systems. Thankfully our body has a natural healing capacity that occurs during sleep mostly that helps to mitigate the onslaught of chemical pollutants that regular people regularly encounter today as a result of industrial overdevelopment and overpopulation. It takes a lot to make something for everyone when there close to 9 billion people alive at the same time. Think what you would have to do to make something for each person!
