Pesticides, Herbicides, Toxic Chemicals, Disinfection By-Products, and Heavy Metals are found in drinking water all over the U.S. today. All of these toxins are considered to be health risks. Some of the health effects of these toxins are cancer, nervous system damage, reproductive disorders, tumors, kidney and liver damage.

Obviously the quality of water we drink is of utmost importance.

The average adult body is 55 to 75 percent water. Because our bodies are mostly water, water figures heavily in how our bodies function. Aside from helping digestion and absorption of food, water regulates body temperature, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, removes toxins and other wastes and flushes the kidneys and liver.

Water also cushions joints and protects tissues and organs, including the spinal cord, from shock and damage.

Conversely, lack of water (dehydration) can be the cause of many ailments.

Never replace drinking water with caffeinated beverages. Caffeine is a diuretic and should be avoided. Drinking caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, or these new energy drinks can aid in dehydration.

Water also plays a major part in weight loss. Drinking plenty of water can actually
increase metabolism up to 30%. Cold water enhances fat burning more so than warm water because the body tends to absorb cold water faster. Water also serves as an appetite suppressant and helps to reduce water retention by stimulating the kidneys.

Without a doubt, drinking plenty of water enhances our health and plays a major role in
reducing the risk of certain diseases.

Using a high quality water filter at point of use will reduce toxins from your drinking water, providing you and your family much healthier and better tasting drinking water. Water filters are recommended by many doctors as tap water and many bottled waters can contain toxins.
