Water is neccesary for survival.  Everybody knows that, right?   Over 70% of our bodies are made up of water.  In order to keep the balance, we must maintain the proper level of water in our bodies.  If we don’t, then we could experience serious repercussions such as low blood pressure, blood clots, urinary tract infections, headaches, constipation, kidney problems and at the very least, dry skin.  

So, here is what we are going to do. DRINK AND HAVE CONTACT WITH AS MUCH PURE WATER AS WE CAN !! 

That’s right, I said drink and have contact with.

You may or may not be surprised to learn that our environment has a great impact on the mind and body. The chemicals that are used in daily life, the medications we take and the foods we eat, even the water we drink all have a gradual effect on us. These things have a profound effect on our good health.

There is a huge push now to “Go Green”, a huge effort to save the environment. Well, this same environment that is wrecking havoc on our planet can be said to be doing the same to our bodies.

Drinking plenty of water  daily is necessary to flush toxins and impurities from the body as well as nourish it. However, the quality of the water is what is important in achieving this task. 

Tap water is treated with chlorine , chlorine byproducts.  Medications and hormones are also present in small amounts because purification does not remove during processing. Most water also has floride added. Chlorine and floride are toxic to the body. Medication byproducts and hormones in small amounts over long periods of time have an adverse effect on the body also.

We must drink pure water in order for our body to run effectively, just like a car needs good oil…

Now, remember earlier I said that we have to have contact with pure water ? Well, most of us bathe in the same tap water that we were talking about above….. the same chemicals, floride and chlorine that we ingest when we drink tap water is absorbed through the pores in our skin when we are bathing and showering and also inhaled into our lungs through the steam vapor.

What does this mean for your health? I can’t say for sure, however there have been studies linking this to breast and prostate cancers, as well as kidney and liver problems. DO NOT DRINK OR BATHE IN TAP WATER !!

As a basic and primary health benefit, it is advisable to invest in a home water purification system, if possible, a whole house system. If that is not possible, whether it is a financial issue or you live in a multiple unit dwelling, there are other solutions that will benefit you. Purchase stand alone water filters for your kitchen and bathroom sinks and a filter shower head.

Soon after beginning to use filtered water, you will notice a difference in your skin, hair, nails and body function. I think you will be pleased. I believe filtered water tastes clean and crisp. So many benefits!! You will drink more too !

Beng secure with the water that you drink and bathe in is the first step in taking charge of your current and future health and in preparing a safe environment for yourself and your family.
