Clean Drinking Water, Your Ticket to Health!
Clean drinking water may easily be your ticket to excellent health! Your body needs water for every single process that it undergoes. The problem is the water you’re drinking may not really be “clean”, even if you’re drinking bottled water. To get the purest drinking water, you’re going to have to filter it. We’ll talk about all of this in this article.
We live in a world where disease is treated, not avoided. I’m not knocking our medical system. Probably a third of all Americans might not be alive if it weren’t for antibiotics. Cancer drugs work wonders, and have taken what used to be a death sentence and reduced it to merely a “bad” disease. Thousands of Americans could not live without synthetic thyroid hormones.
But it’s so much easier (and less costly) to avoid disease than to treat it! And here’s where water comes in.
It’s a proven, medical fact that drinking more, pure water can dramatically better your health. As a matter of fact, many so called ailments, such as headaches and backaches are sometimes just your body’s way of crying out for more water! The purest drinking water is sometimes the best doctor!
If, however, the water you drink is not pure, then you could be creating health problems in your life rather than solving them. Let me give you an example.
Chlorine is the chemical that is usually used by municipal water systems to kill bacteria and viruses. Chlorine has been a great life saver for us. People used to die from diseases like cholera because they didn’t have clean drinking water.
But chlorine has also introduced another set of problems. Sometimes the chlorine in our water can combine with organic material and form compounds called trihalomethanes. Trihalomethanes are carcinogens. Yes chlorine is protecting you from waterborne diseases, but when you drink chlorinated water, you’re potentially ingesting some pretty powerful carcinogens.
In case you’re wondering, bottled water has it’s own set of problems. As a matter of fact, there are fewer regulations covering bottled water than there are tap water.
To get the purest drinking water you just have to filter it yourself!
Your next step is to figure out what type of water filtering system you want to buy. There are a number of different types of filtration devices on the market–distillation, reverse osmosis, carbon and ceramic filtration.
Another set of questions you need to answer is what water do you want to filter? Do you just want to insure you have clean drinking water, or do you want to purify your shower water, too. You might have never thought of filtering your shower water, but it’s just as important as filtering your drinking and cooking water.
