Best Practices to Stay Healthy and Safe

Unfortunately the Corona virus is still amongst us, and it may very well be here for a very long time, or at least until a vaccine is approved.  While we should all protect ourselves as much as humanely possible; nothing, in our opinion, will ever be the same.  We all have enough stress and troubles in our own personal lives, and with this virus upon us everything is just that much harder.  Thus, we all strive to protect ourselves by doing what our leaders say; which, means to wear a mask, social distance ourselves, and wash our hands to stay and keep clean.  So why is drinking cleaner and safer water any different?

The answer:  It’s not different. 

This falls into the same category as protecting ourselves from invisible invaders like Covid-19, not to mention the enormous health benefits of drinking cleaner water can do all without these invisible invaders.  Just because we cannot see what’s in our water with the human eye, does not mean that these invaders are not there.  Right now we are consumed with protecting ourselves from this horrible virus, and rightfully so, but in reality we should always be in protection mode focusing on what we drink, eat, and touch all of the time.  We are also focused on sanitizing whatever we could; which is something we should have been doing all along.  It’s logical to want to have your homes, and workplaces clean, but wiping everything off with Clorox wipes for example, was not something most of us really thought about as a daily or bi-weekly practice.  Yes, more work for us.  However, having a system in place to drink clean, clear water along with using that water for making coffee, tea, to cook with, to wash with, etc., is also not something that one may consider completely necessary, but you know what?  In today’s world it most certainly is! 

If we can muster up all of this effort and will to protect ourselves now, then why stop at wearing protective gear and thoroughly washing our hands.  Make a conscious decision to purchase a system to make your water and yourselves as healthy as possible and to keep it that way. 

We don’t think that wearing masks will be a forever new normal, but there is nothing wrong with keeping yourselves in check with sanitizing practices and having clean water around at any moment’s notice.

Stay healthy and safe.

Filtered Water Versus Tap Water: “Tap” Into Filtered Water

It’s no secret that tap water has improved a lot in recent years.  However, there are still chemicals in regular tap water that we all need to know about.  Now, we all know that drinking water promotes a vast array of health benefits, but what good is it if this same tap water that we are drinking day after day, and cup after cup contains chemicals that can actually harm us. 

Did you know that much of our plumbing infrastructure in the United States contains lead piping, lead service lines, or lead plumbing components, many of which are over 50 years old? According to a nationwide study from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), “Lead leaches into tap water through the corrosion of plumbing” (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su6104a1.htm) as out-of-date lead pipes and components start to break down.  Therefore, if we drink a lot of tap water over time this contaminated drinking water can affect fertility, liver function and more.

Flouride is another concern, which should not be taken lightly.  Once again when drinking a lot of tap water over time our thyroids could be damaged which, affects our thyroid hormone production.  Flouride can also damage our brain function as it is a neurotoxin.  A high fluoride content in water correlates with an up to seven-point decrease in IQ! 

Last but not least we have chlorine and chloramine.  Did you know that the government sanitizes water with chlorine?  Large scale studies have linked chlorinated water to bladder and colorectal cancer, therefore, chloramine came into the picture, but not without its disruptions, as chloramine corrodes lead, thereby combining old lead pipes/plumbing with corroded lead caused by the chloramine and you have even more lead in your water than you had before not to mention that chloramine doesn’t kill pathogens nearly as well as chlorine does. Its byproducts are potential carcinogens, and you can’t remove chloramine or its byproducts through boiling or distilling.

Now Let’s “Tap” Into Filtered Water

After reading the above it’s no wonder that people are safely drinking filtered water.  First of all the simple peace of mind knowing that our water is free from contamination alone would make anyone want to switch. However there are a lot more benefits to drinking filtered water then we know about.

Here are just a few:

• Improved Digestion
• Removes Chlorine
• Reduces Acid Reflux
• Has Anti-Oxidant Properties
• Reduces Cardio Stress
• Reduces Lime Scale
• Protects your Teeth
• Saves Money on Buying Bottled Water
• Saves the Planet by not Using Plastic

Join us in our quest to make ourselves the healthiest that we can be, while saving money and saving the planet all at the same time.  This is a no brainer, win-win for all!
