Due to government regulations, municipal drinking water is tested hundreds of times a month whereas the bottled water companies are only tested once a week. By drinking tap water, with a filter if you prefer, you are helping the environment in two ways: spring water is not being depleted, and plastic bottles are not being produced, used and dumped.
Did you realize that up to 40% of bottled water comes from the tap anyway. It really has become an advertisers dream to promote ‘fresh clear spring’ water sold in bottles, but do they tell you about whether the plastic bottles are made with toxic products or not.
If you do buy bottled water, it would be much cheaper to install a water filter just the once than have to buy bottled water on a regular basis.
The health benefits drinking water
One of the major health benefits of drinking water is maintaining body PH balance in order to prevent and cure disease. This is done by flushing toxins out of the body as water is expelled from the body. Without water the toxins sit in the cells and over time the body becomes very ill.
Other benefits are that it gives a clearer skin tone, it improves digestion and did you realize that your eyes also benefit from water intake. With the use of computers it is recommended that regular blinking helps the tear glands moisturize and lubricate the cornea which itself consists of 80% water.
You can see how people of all ages should drink plenty of water each day.
