Importance of water.

The adult body composition is of at least 60% water. Water helps regulate the bodies temperature, lubricates and cushions joints, protects the spinal cord, and eliminates body waste through urination and perspiration. And of course hydration.

Tap Water

7.2 million people have some illness from water and 1.2 million deaths are related to water quality. There are known carcinogens from the byproducts of chlorine; such as cancer from pesticides and increasing the risk of breast cancer.

Your tap water quality can be found online through a google search as every area/city treats the water differently.

Source:

Different sources had different amounts of impurities. These include but not limited to radon, fluoride, arsenic, iron, lead, and copper; fertilizers, asbestos, cyanides, herbicides, pesticides and industrial chemicals from run off. Production can add chlorine, carbon, lime, phosphates, soda ash, and aluminum sulfate.

Hard Water

Usually is high in calcium and magnesium, and this prevents soap to lather and a filmy residue. This has a weird taste. Some studies show that Hard water can lower heart disease but also isn't good for the heart, arteries, or bones

Soft Water

Improves cleaning properties. Soft water can dissolve the lining of pipes; Lead solvents or Copper depending on the type of pipes. Soft water is linked to kidney failure as it increases your potassium intake.

Bottled Water

Bottled Water testing is through the FDA (Tap water is tested through the EPA.) This different agencies have separate criteria to pass before its okay to consume. EPA makes certain that the results are available to the public (your local government utility should have it posted online for you to view). FDA doesn't require testing but ingredients are needed on the label; ie, spring, well, or tap water and usually salt.

Bottled Water can come from any source, it just needs to be recorded on the label. Unfortunately, the plastic causes endocrine disruption (its the hormone production). Just from the climate change in transport to get the bottled water can freeze/heat the bottle increasing this contamination.

Bottled Water is more expensive than TAP water.

Types of Filtration

There are different ways to filter contaminates from your water. You should be able to look up the information through your city's government webpage.

Knowing how the city has treated the water and taking into consideration of the pipes the water travels through, you can make an educated guess on how you should filter out the contaminates in your household water.

Take into consideration if you would like a whole house system or just for your drinking water.

-Pitcher filtrations are a quick fix but isn't convenient to use. Ever have someone finish off the pitcher and not refill it so by the time you go for some, you have to wait for gravity to extract the chemicals?

-Faucet filtrations are also an option but may imped washing/drying area

-Under-the-Sink filtrations are a great option for single location of drinking water.

-Whole House filtrations is an awesome option, its out of the way and allows for quality water throughout the entire home.

Alkaline Water

Alkaline Water maybe filtered or bottled. The process' are a bit different and thus have different effects on the body. Research is low due to the source of the water or type of study.

But benefits may include improving your stool, supporting your immune system, slow the aging process, regulated the body's pH, and prevent chronic diseases like cancer.

Alkaline Water contains alkaline minerals, creating a less acidic and higher pH than drinking water.

But alkaline is really the pH level. pH 1 is very acidic and pH 14 is very alkaline.

Real alkaline water needs to contain alkaline minerals and a NEGATIVE oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). The more negative the ORP value the more antioxidizing it is.

Green tea is known to be rich in antioxidants and a slightly negative ORP.

Natural alkaline water is made when the water passes over rocks (Springs_ and picks up minerals. Bought bottled water is a chemical water through electrolysis.

Ionized Water

Ionized water is a term for water that contains dissolved ions. Ions occur naturally when water picks up Calcium and bicarbonate through contact with rocks and sediments.

Pure water (pH7) is consider to be ion-free and will not conduct an electric current.

The acidic and alkaline waters contain both H+ and OH- ions, but the quantity of these are 100x more to be 1 pH away. As in to have a pH of 8 there are 100x as many OH- ions than the H+ ions. The higher the pH (7-14) are alkaline, while lower the pH (1-7) are acidic.

Since the ions aren't stable there has to be some other positive ion to equalize the charges. Most positive ions used are Sodium, Calcium, or Magnesium. Therefore, the water isn't really pure if the pH is anything but pH7.

Reverse Osmosis Water

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is demineralize or deionize water by pushing it under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane

Kangen Water

Kangen Water provides better hydration, helping with energy and focus. This water also neutralize acid in the body, aiding in weight loss, cleansing the colon.
