It seems like every time you turn your head, there's another person drinking bottled water. But are they really the answer to safe drinking water or are home water purifiers better? Bottled water, costing more per gallon than gas, tops the charts in some regions as a number one seller. If you ask anyone who drinks a lot of bottled water they feel good about themselves, since now they know what they are drinking. Or do they? Read on, and I will tell you what I have uncovered, and then later in this article I will compare home water purfiers. First of all, what role does water play in our everyday lives? Is it as important as "They" say? Studies show that the body is made up of 70% water. It is part of every organ in our bodies, including our eyes, our heart , our liver, even our skin and hair.
It is obvious that we need to take in a certain amount of water each day to sustain life. Even people who are fasting, need water to survive.. All studies show that we need to drink water. The question is how much? Most studies conclude that drinking around 8 eight ounce glasses per day will take care of most peoples needs. You may need more if you exercise alot or have other health problems like kidney problems. Drinking water is our natural way of flushing toxins from our bodies and to aid in the normal processes of detoxing the body. This brings us to our next point, and it is an important one. What about the quality of the water we drink? I'm sure that most of us would agree that there is some importance to knowing where our source of water has come from. Yet millions of people consume billions of gallons of bottled water, never questioning where that water came from. If it tastes good, it must be ok and better yet, must be better than what is coming from their home tap, right?.Think again! Although it sounds crazy, there are no government standards that mandate bottled water be any purer than tap water. I've even read reports saying that the FDA has stated that companies that tell us that their water is purer, safer,even produced from springs, are defrauding the public." Even reports from the consumer protection act state that our water supplies are saturated with things we don't want in our bodies.
