Clean, Fresh Water - Essential Nutrient for Life
Water requirements are different from person to person. It's obvious that we need more water when engaged in physical activities or if we live in hot climate. The quantity of water our body needs also depends on our diet.
The rule of thumb used to be eight (8 oz.) glasses of water per day or 1 quart (1 liter) for every fifty pounds of weight. Lately, Dr. Mercola and other practitioners recommend obeying your thirst and watching the color of your urine, which is supposed to be very light-yellow (unless you're taking riboflavin - vitamin B2).
Clean water is a must for optimum health and bottled water recently grew into a major industry. Consequently, several companies are competing in offers of designer waters, fluoridated waters, spring waters, flavored waters, juice waters, vitamin enriched waters and the list goes on and on.
It's no surprise that consumers are confused and many times choose (in good faith of buying healthy liquid) waters that might do more bad than good to their body.
Like, for instance, fluoridated water which causes fluorosis (excessive fluoride gets incorporated in the structure of the bones and teeth), especially in children. Or water bottles made of polycarbonate plastics which can leach an unsafe chemical called BPA into supposedly clean water - to mention just a couple.
So, what is the safe, healthy solution?
The only water we should be drinking is clean, spring water and filtered water. When bottled, glass bottles are the best. At home, home filtering system is the most cost effective and safest way to provide good drinking water. Well water source should be analyzed for bacteria, minerals and organic chemical pollutants before using it freely, with no filtration.
