Pure water and its Importance to human health - By: Abdullah Salim

There is nothing more important to our health than the water we drink. It doesn’t matter how balanced your diet is or how many different fitness efforts you put in, if you drink poor quality of water all your efforts will be wasted. A human body is more than 70% of water which is why it is essential to take an abundant quantity of high quality, chemical free water.

Every health and fitness expert in the world agrees on the importance of drinking healthy water but they often disagree on what its source should be. The fact is there is only one such source that has been scientifically proven to be a healthier source for water.

It is common consensus among most health experts that the healthiest water doesn’t come from the taps or from a bottle; it doesn’t come from distillation or reverse osmosis. It comes from selective filtration.

People assume that the tap water in America is safe and healthy. The fact is even in America all tap water contains certain levels of synthetic chemicals, parasites, heavy metal or chlorine by-products that are detrimental to health. We can either filter these poisons out of the water or expose our bodies to a significant risk.

Most people have switched to bottled water and falsely assume that it is more pure as opposed to tap water. In fact bottled water is just required to have the same quality as tap water. The federal regulations for the quality of bottled water only apply if the water is being exported to other states. Most bottled water is only supplied within the state itself just to avoid such regulations. An industry full of deception, the bottled water industry is the fastest growing and the highest earning business among all of the beverage industries. The U.S food and drug administration has said that marketing bottled water as safer and healthier water than tap water is misleading the public into believing something untrue.

An older misconception is that distilled water and water through reverse osmosis are the safest and healthiest. In reality both these methods were designed for industrial purposes over 40 years ago. Reverse osmosis and distillation are both “demineralizing” processes. These methods rid the water of important minerals and lower the pH level of water. When we consume this de-mineralized water, it seeks to balance itself by pulling minerals from our body. And neither reverse osmosis nor distillation is effective at removing SOCs i.e. Synthetic Organic Chemicals from the water. Synthetic chemicals have smaller molecules than water and for this reason vaporize at lower temperatures than water.

The latest and most effective technology for pure, safe drinking water is a “water ionization” system. These water ionization systems more commonly known as water ionizers turn the tap water into electrically charged, alkaline water that has a higher level of pH than any other water. Alkaline water is an anti-oxidant that helps to rid the body of damaging free radicals. They also help retain a healthy alkaline balance in your body due to it higher pH level.

Water ionizers have quickly gained much popularity among fitness experts and athletes. A water ionization system is convenient and economical. It has numerous health benefits for the consumer. More and more health conscious people are realizing this every day. Water ionizer produced alkaline water has been proven to treat many skin diseases, fungal diseases and conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis, heartburn etc. It is also known to have superior hydrating qualities. Like natural spring water, alkaline water has a crystal structure that makes it easier for water to go into our cells.

There is little doubt that alkaline water is the healthiest water one can find.
