By now, we all understand how important water is to our daily health. So, what kind of water is the most appropriate for our consumption?
The options are generally:

tap water, bottled water, or filtered water.

Tap Water

The quality of tap water is on a downward trend. Experts say that tap water has consistently worsened due to environmental damage and industrial pollution. Some communities have it worse than others (see an LA Times article regarding the contaminants in tap water).

Although some of the contaminants do not cause immediate disease, it is proven that consistent consumption over time can cause serious illness, such as cancer. It is interesting to note that most municipal water supplies use chemicals, such as chlorine and fluoride, which are toxic and proven to negatively affect humans.

Bottled Water

Although bottled water is generally much safer than tap water, the quality of bottled water should also be questioned. Experts believe 20-40% of bottled water is not filtered appropriately, if at all.

According to an article written by Bureau Chief Greg Lucas of Sacramento, one-third of bottled water contains contaminants. Even when it is filtered well, the packaging may not be safe.

“Of greater concern in the WWFN study is bottled water’s negative impact on the environment. Packaging materials are often environmentally unfriendly in and of themselves.” (Envirnomental & Climate News, July 2001 previously posted at http://www.heartland.org/environment/jul01/bottled.htm)

It is true that some bottled water has been purified properly, but at what cost to the consumer? Bottled water consumers spend up to ten times more on bottled water than they would for water that is filtered as good or better than the bottled water.

On average, a home filtration system is approximately 80% less money per gallon than bottled. At that rate, it doesn’t take very long for savings to add up.

Bottled water consumers also miss out on the simple convenience of drawing drinking water from their faucet. Instead they have to transport large quantities of heavy bottled water.

Some consumers prefer bottled water because of the portability of small bottles. However, for pennies per gallon, they could instead use a water bottle filter.

As you consider the benefits of a safer, more economical, and more convenient alternative to bottled water, it is clear that a home filtration system is the most sensible choice.

Water, which makes up 55-75 percent of the human body, is depended upon by every system in the body.

Most of us have heard the recommendation to drink six 8-ounce servings of water every day. According to the American Dietetic Association, it may be necessary to drink more than this if you weigh more than 125 pounds or participate in physical activity. Doctors at Mayo Clinic recommend dividing your weight in half and using this number as the number of ounces of water consumption per day.

There are many reasons why it is critical that we maintain the proper water intake.

1. Reduce the risk of heart disease. Researchers at Loma Linda University in California studied more than 20,000 healthy men and women and found that people who drink more than five glasses of water a day were less likely to die from a heart attack or heart disease than those who drank fewer than two glasses a day.

2. Become more energetic and alert. Water plays a vital role in nearly every bodily function. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

3. Cushion and lube your joints and muscles. Water makes up a large part of the fluid that lubricates and cushions your joints and muscles. Drinking water before, during, and after exercise can also help reduce muscle cramping and premature fatigue.

4. Lose weight. Increased water consumption can help you control weight by preventing you from confusing hunger with thirst. Water will also keep your body systems working properly, including metabolism and digestion, and give you the energy (and hydration) necessary for exercise.

5. Flush toxins. By helping to flush toxins, appropriate water intake lessens the burden on your kidneys and liver.

6. Improve skin health. Drinking water moisturizes your skin from the inside out. Water is essential to maintaining elasticity and suppleness and helps prevent dryness.

7. Improve digestion. Water is essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and chemical reactions. Water is a metabolical and transport tool for carbohydrates and proteins that our body uses as food. Moreover, water is helpful for preventing constipation by adding fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass.

8. Maintain healthy immune system. A healthy immune system is necessary to fight off disease. Low fluid intake is correlated with bladder, colon, breast, prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers.

9. Maintain ideal body temperature. Water regulates the body’s cooling system. Perspiration is a body function that controls the body temperature. An adequate supply of water is necessary for the body to produce sweat.

10. Avoid dehydration. Chronic Cellular Dehydration can result from consistent failure to drink enough water. This condition leaves the body weak and vulnerable to disease. It also leads to chemical nutritional, and pH imbalances that can cause a host of diseases. Dehydration can occur in any time of the year. Winter dryness can sometimes dehydrate the body even quicker than summer weather.

11. Reduce your risk of disease and infection. Water can help prevent kidney stones and reduce your chances of getting bladder, kidney, and urinary tract infections. One study found that women who drank more than five glasses of water a day had a risk of colon cancer that was 45 percent less than those who drank two or fewer glasses a day.

12. Get well. The traditional prescription to “drink plenty of fluids” when you’re sick still holds strong. Water can help control a fever, replace lost fluids, and thin out mucus.

13. Better Circulation. The levels of oxygen in the bloodstream are greater when the body is well hydrated. The more oxygen the body has readily available the more fat it will burn for energy without the presence of oxygen the body cannot utilize stored fat for energy efficiently. Not only will the body burn more fat when well hydrated but because there are increased oxygen levels you will also have more energy.

14. There is no substitute. It is difficult for the body to get water from any other source than water itself. Soft drinks and alcohol steal tremendous amounts of water from the body. Other beverages such as coffee and tea are diuretics therefore stealing precious water from the body.

15. Water is the substance of life. Life can not exist without water. We must constantly be adding fresh water to our body in order to keep it properly hydrated. Water can be a miracle cure for many common ailments such as headaches, fatigue, joint pain, and much more. We can go for weeks without food, but only 3 days without water!
