Can Drinking Water Detoxify My Body Effectively?

Raymond Hamilton asked:

A common question I am asked these days is “can drinking water detoxify my body?” The answer is a little more complicated than a straight yes or no as you will find out.

Water is the foundation of good health and responsible for just about every process that goes on in the body. However, if the quality is not good, then your body works harder.

Normal tap water today contains many harmful toxins like chlorine, lead, ammonia, pesticides and prescription drugs to name just some of the many present.

Your overall health also suffers because the liver has to work so much harder and cannot convert as much stored fat to energy for example, leading to weight gain. So while drinking tap water can detoxify your body somewhat, it is not a very efficient process.

Bottled water is not the answer to this problem as many brands are bottled at the same source as your tap water! In addition there are very few regulations for the bottled variety and they can cost as much per litre as gas for your car.

If you want to get the best drinking water to detoxify your body, then a simple home filtration system is the most effective way. They work out a lot cheaper per gallon than bottled water and can leave your supply pure and safe.

Today they come in styles to suit your needs and range from the popular countertop filters to whole house systems that ensure all of your water is safe.

In addition there are many different types to consider, with the two main ones being reverse osmosis and active carbon filters.

Reverse osmosis systems have a major flaw in that they let harmful synthetic toxins through and into your household water because they are based on old-fashioned technology. They also filter out important trace minerals like calcium and magnesium that you need in order to stay healthy.

Active carbon block filters on the other hand tend to be much cheaper and the best ones can remove 99% of all the contaminants. Look for ones with a two-step process, ion exchange and sub micron filtering as these will leave in those vital trace minerals.

You can then be confident that your body is getting the healthiest and safest water possible to keep you in the best health possible.
