GUIDE: Drinking Purified Water is Vital for Health

After breathing, drinking water is the second most vital operation for your body. You can only survive a couple of days without drinking. Our body is made of 75% of water, Our brain and heart are 73% water, our lungs are 83% water, and plasma running in our blood is made of 90% water. Water is life and we are water, it is of the utmost importance for our health to make sure that the body is filled with clean and purified water. In this article, I will provide a guide on why you should drink purified water and how to do that.

7 Reasons why you should drink purified water

There are many reasons why you should drink purified water, those reasons impact both your health and the environment. There are only positives outcome for drinking clean water.

1) Remove unwanted substances

Today’s standard in terms of purifying water is high and not so high at the same time. City processing water systems are not perfect and most governments allow a tolerable amount of contaminants in the water.

Lead, arsenic, chlorine, pesticides, growth hormone pills residue, viruses, microplastic, you name it! The list of potential contaminants is scary. Even in small doses, those contaminants have an impact in the long run and on the speed at which your body is oxidating.

On the other hand, since tap water is accessible by everyone and it’s the most drank water, hypothetically, it would be easy for any government to put something in it, let’s say a virus for example. Some files from the second world war have reported the use of substances in the water to control people in concentration camps. Truth or not, better be extra cautious than sorry. That’s why drinking purified water is better and safer for your health.

2) Remove fluoride from the water

Fluoride is another chemical that is present in most tap water (and bottled as well). Contrary to the established belief, fluoride is not good for you. There is no real scientific evidence of efficiency, and not a single controlled trial has been properly done to demonstrate its claim and safety. In many cases, overexposure to fluoride can lead to several health problems such as joint and muscle pain, cancer, gut issue, fatigue, bone damage, osteoporosis, dental fluorosis, the list goes on.

I believe, the real reason for fluoride’s presence in the water, is to calcify the pineal gland. Over time, the pineal gland becomes the most saturated fluoride organ of the body. Which will result in melatonin deficiency, disconnection from your intuition, and more docile and addictive behavior.

3) Improve digestion and gut health

Water absorption is an important part of digestion. your intestine will absorb water to break down the food you eat. The cleaner the water, the better the digestion. Water is full of good minerals and will help the gut absorb nutrients.

Drinking purified water will also have an impact on your ability to evacuate waste. If your water is full of contaminants, you will poison yourself and that can create all sorts of problems, like constipation, impacting your gut lining as well, create irritation. In today’s society, half of the people are suffering from gut issues, some without knowing that their lifestyle is killing their gut biome, drinking purified water is fundamental for a healthy life, and one of the best allies for proper gut functioning.

Anyway, who would want to drink water full of bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and other nasty unhealthy chemicals? The answer is quite obvious.

4) Improve your skin

Water usually contains chlorine, which is known to impact badly your skin health. That’s just one of those chemicals that you don’t want to intake, what about the rest? the same story, those will also impact your skin, making it dry and not gloomy.

Skin is fifty percent water, drinking purified water increase water absorption and water consumption, which will lead to softer and more beautiful skin.

5) Improve your energy and emotions

If you drink heavy and unhealthy water, how do you think it will impact your energy?

You are unlikely to feel energized and motivated because you are poisoning your body, therefore it can’t perform in the best possible way. Drinking purified water will make your cells dance, water is life, and it will bring joy to your inner world.

Water is the vehicle used to transport information to the cells and in every part of our body. Masaru Emoto, the most famous water researcher in the world, has shown in numerous experiments the impact that water has on our emotions and thoughts. Everything is vibration, water can sense the vibration of words, emotions, or thoughts and alter its molecular structure.

So having positive emotions and thoughts have an important impact on the water in our body. The opposite is also true, drinking purified water, can have a positive impact on our emotions and thoughts.

6) Save money

buying bottled water every day is expensive, imagine throughout a lifetime, how much money that costs. We all know, now, that plastic bottles are not safe for your body, it’s a heavy hormone disruptor, are not safe for the environment, it destroys our ecosystem. Water filtering systems are not cheap, but it’s a one-time purchase and in the long run, will be much cheaper while being better for the environment.

You are maybe telling yourself, but Michaël, drinking tap water is free. Okay, municipal water is free, that’s true, but at what cost? Drinking water that contains, even in small doses, a great number of contaminants may have an impact on your health at some point in the future. Which will cost you money on doctors appointments, exams, supplements, and medicines.

Installing a water system at home or using a portable system, comes with an initial investment, but in the long run, it will pay out for your health and your wallet.

7) Protect the environment

plastic has a disastrous impact on the environment, the number of plastic bottles used can be counted in millions. It pollutes oceans, kills aquatic life, and reduces air quality. All of those factories that produce water in a bottle, but also all other industries using plastic, generate a lot of pollution and waste that can’t be recycled.

Then the plastic is a hormone disruptor, overexposure to plastic can lead to unbalanced hormones, and thyroid problems. Plastic is highly estrogenic, food wrapped in plastic containers will make your testosterone drop by increasing too much estrogen in the body.

Do you know that it takes a year for plastic to release harmful contaminants, the problem is that not a single company is willing to wait a year before packing food and beverage.

It is better to avoid drinking bottled water and to start using a proper system at home, or a sustainable and healthy bottle when on the go.

What are the solutions available on the market?

There are many solutions available on the market, however, not all are equal in quality and cost. In this guide, I’m focusing on systems that can purify water for real. Do you think that a cheap plastic jar-typed filter will do much? The answer is NO. Better avoid, those Brita and co type of products, because it’s a waste of money and will not do jack for your health and water quality.

Invest in a whole-house water filter system

That is the ultimate best solution to have clean and purified water in the whole house. Not only you will have access to purified water to drink but your skin will also benefit from taking shower with clean and harmfree water. Your plants and garden will also thank you for giving them healthy water.

This solution is suitable for people who own a house or an apartment, it is also one of the most expensive solutions but the one that provides optimal results.

If you’re looking to install one at home, you can check Aquasana, they have great systems.

Invest in a water ionizer machine

There are some debates about whether ionizing water is proven effective for health. Science can be bent in every direction depending on the needs. Most feedback from users reports great results and some improvement with health issues.

Water ionizer machines have the advantage to be portable as well. I agree that you can easily move with it, even if it’s not that convenient. It offers a specific filtration process that can change water PH from acidic to very alkaline, depending on the goal you want to achieve.

A water ionizer machine will turn tap water into living ionized water rich in molecular hydrogen. It provides antioxidants and will hydrate on a cellular level. It is a great way to improve your gut health. However, I do NOT RECOMMEND drinking alkaline water for a long time. It is not safe in the long run. Many problems like digestive issues, cardiovascular issues, metabolic abnormalities and puts a strain on your kidneys. This type of machine is mostly promoted by multi-level marketers, just be careful.

If you want to know more about the danger of constantly drinking alkaline water, read this article.

Water ionizer machines don’t get rid of all chemicals.

If this is the option that fits you the most, I would recommend using Tyent-ACE-13. It has a lifetime warranty and great performance.

Invest in a portable water filtering device

Investing in a portable water filtering device is a great option for those who live in a rental apartment, like me, and don’t have a few thousand bucks to spend on water filters.

However, it is important to choose wisely. Avoid buying those cheap plastic-typed water filters because it won’t purify water, at best, water will taste better and will be slightly purified.

My choice will go to the likes of Doulton, British Berkefeld, and co. Those are stainless steel, easy to use, and portable enough to go camping with.

It uses ceramic cartridges, that contain silver and charcoal to get rid of more than 97% of contaminants, such as lead, fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical drugs contaminants.

I use a filter from British Berkefeld, which is similar to Berkey. I can tell that water is light and vibrant after passing through the filtering process.

I recommend buying either the British Berkefeld or the Berkey. You can find a local distributor both in the United States and Europe.

Invest in a stainless steel bottle to drink on the go

After investing your time, effort, and money in a home system, it would be a pity that you continue to drink bottled water when outside and on the go.

I would suggest investing in a small stainless steel bottle that you can carry around. You can fill the bottle with purified water from your home system. It’s a safe and sure way to drink clean water, everywhere you go. It is also more ecological, you don’t promote plastic use, and affordable since you don’t need to buy water every time you’re on the move.

There are plenty of choices out there but I can recommend those from Super Sparrow.

Final thoughts

I think that we can agree that drinking purified water is vital for your health and will also have a positive impact on the environment. There are just too many potential dangers for your body and health that you should not hesitate, nor compromise the importance of consuming clean and purified water. Even with the initial investment in mind, it is 100% worth it. I have been drinking purified water for more than a year now, I feel great and will never go back to tap or bottled water. My health is my most valuable asset and so is yours.
