Water Filters

Some people say Alkaline water is snake oil. Yet, the scientific proof is widely available of the way in which alkaline water is indeed the natural form of water that the body by design is intended to consume. Granted, alkaline water is unlikely to be a medicine to treat or cure diseases but if consumed regularly, slightly alkaline water can reduces acid waste, allowing for a natural health improvement. As the body consumes toxins, the kidneys become over-burdened with acid wastes. As a result of acid reduction, there are many reports of natural health improvement. Kidney stones, Nephritis, uremia poisoning, and bladder diseases are acid related conditions which can be prevented by the consumption of slightly alkaline water. One american cancer center showed significant improvements in their cancer therapy by getting 1,000 patients to drink 7 glasses of alkaline water each day.

Tap water has a lower ph level than alkaline water. So how can you make your tap water alkaline? One option is to use a water fitration system such as the filters by Aquasana. The Aquasana water filters replace essential minerals back in the water to keep the water alkaline.

If you’ve been toting around a plastic water bottle to guzzle your daily H2O, you might want to consider three serious disadvantages of this particular habit- expense, environmental, and endocrine disrupters – and turn back to the tap, using a home drinking water filter to solve all three problems.

You will save money, treat the environment with respect, and safeguard your family’s health, all in one fell swoop, by investing in a home drinking water filter. If you’re still not convinced, ask yourself these three questions:

If you could use water from your tap and feel comfortable that it is free of impurities, wouldn’t you feel silly spending money on bottled water?

And if you realized most bottles of water, some 60 million a day and increasing(2), are not recycled but pile up in landfills and never completely biodegrade, wouldn’t you worry about the impact on our environment? Not to mention the use of the finite commodity needed to make plastic – petroleum – and the subsequent need for more oil drilling?

And finally, if you knew that dangerous chemicals and horrid-sounding substances like endocrine disrupters(1) can leach from the plastic bottle into the water, itself, wouldn’t you be alarmed?

Home drinking water filters will filter out over 500 dangerous contaminants from your water. From the tap you’ll get water that won’t have an unpleasant taste or smell. The system can be installed at the entry pipes to the house, under the sink, or on the counter top. Other options include filters at the faucet, in the refrigerator or portable, for your travels. You can fill glass containers or bottles, or even metal canteens at home and feel healthy, wealthy and wise.

There are dozens of home drinking water filters available.  Do your research and you’ll find the right one for your family.
 
(1)contaminants called endocrine disrupters are from sources like birth control pulls and hormone therapy medications which enter our water supply and have not been filtered out.                                                                                                                                                     
(2)among all beverages – and that includes alcohol and sodas – bottled water is the single largest growth area  having quintupled from 3.3 billion to 15 billion. But because of its portable nature, people rarely drink their water at home where they can recycle the bottles. In excess of 60 million bottles a day are not recycled, but overwhelm land fills where they never completely biodegrade and litter our communities.
