What are the benefits of drinking water to the human body?
Water is absolutely essential for life and its critical for nearly every process in the body. Just the fact that we are about 70% water illustrates how important it is to our health and well-being.
How much (in your opinion) water should we drink a day?
I personally use the following rule of thumb for how much water to drink each day: Take your body weight in pounds, divide by 2, and that number is how many ounces of water you should strive to drink each day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, then 75 ounces of water is a great goal. This translates to about 9 cups of water.
What is Purified Water?
Purified water has gone through additional filtration steps to remove contaminants from the water. There are many ways to purify water, including carbon filtration and reverse osmosis.
Why is Purified Water better to drink than Spring Water?
Spring water sounds like it would be very clean and pure, but it can still contain some unappealing additions, such as metals or bacteria. Purified water will not have either.
Why should water be purified?
Purifying water ensures that there are no harmful chemicals or contaminants in the water. It’s an important step for all drinking water sources, including tap, spring, and well water.
What are the top benefits of Purified Water?
One of the main benefits of purified water is that it doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals. This allows our bodies to use the water for healthy functioning without the extra burden of detoxing the chemicals.
The importance of purified water and the human body:
Purified water is great for healthy liver and kidney function, because these organs won't need to work as hard to clear out impurities. Ultimately purified water benefits the entire body.
