Let's Drink Pure Water!





Pure water is part of our everyday life. Our bodies consist of over 70% pure water. We drink it, clean with it, cook with it, play in it, and in the winter we couldn't build a snowman without it.

A doctors recommended daily dose of water is drinking eight glasses of pure water each day. In some parts of the country water seems to be abundant. In Other parts of the country, where the climate is hot and dry and the population continues to grow, water can be scarce at times. In many parts of the world, water is a complete luxury, especially pure water. Can you believe that in some parts of America, waste water is being recycled for drinking water. In all cases, our drinking water has to be processed and chlorinated to drink it.

As you can see, that brings to question, how pure is our drinking water that comes out of our tap? Chlorine has been proven to cause cancer, dry out hair and skin from showers . The taste and smell of chlorine is there as we drink it. According to Dr. Peter Montage of the Environmental Research Foundation, several studies have linked moderate to heavy consumption of chlorinated tap water by pregnant women to higher miscarriage and birth defects. What other way is there to purify it to make it drinkable?

How pure is the bottled water we purchase from the grocery store? There are no regulations put on these companies that bottle it. The information we get comes from our hometown newspapers and our television news programs. Much of the water pours out of the tap at their factories into the bottles we drink from. Then they tell us what great water it is, and charge us as much as is charged for a soda. On top of that, it's said the plastic bottles produce a gas that can also be hazardous to our health, and they take up their share of space in our landfills.

How can we help ourselves at home. We can use water filters. Whether we start with a whole house filter which will run from the back yard faucet to all the faucets in the home to the shower, or individual models, like a counter top model for the kitchen sink(above or below the sink) used for drinking and cooking, or a shower model, smaller models can be purchased for refrigerators, individual faucets or hand held bottles to take on the go.

As a guide, a good kitchen water filter will have two or three stages of filtration containing activated carbon charcoal. These stages will remove the fine particles as sand, silt, carpospores, asbestos and other insoluble elements. Other stages should remove chlorine, odors, chemicals, lead, mercury, copper, fibers and other porous ceramic materials, also synthetic chemicals and specific pharmaceutical drugs.
