Your Body Needs Clean Water…

Have you considered the importance of water? Did you know that water accounts for more than 70 percent of your body? We are comprised of water primarily. Salt water has a mineral composition similar to our own blood. So water is more important to us than just something we put in our oral irrigators. 

A healthy water intake can help us in so many ways:

- You can focus better. A fully hydrated brain actually works better.

- Strength performance increases. Did you know that your muscles work better when your body is fully hydrated?

- Your immune system will be healthier.

- Flush waste out of your body. A fully hydrated body is better at getting rid of the things it DOESN'T need.

- You might be amazed at how much more energy you can have when you drink adequate amounts of water.

- Water can help to keep your breath fresh, much like therabreath products.

There are a ton of reasons to maintain an adequate intake of water. Needless to say, you can probably see why it is important to have clean water - especially for an oral irrigator.

Advice from experts vary but it is generally agreed that most people probably need to take in 2 liters of water per day. Check with your physician before changing your intake though.

Once I worked for a company that sold water filters. One of their products was a 'whole house filter'. The interesting thing about this filter was that it had a clear area where you could see what was trapped in the filter.

I hope you are ready for this. Water supplies are often dependent on recycled water. Many people know this but don't want to think about it.

What this means is that all of your waster water,.e., when you flush the toilet, goes back into the system. It is filtered and treated and may just come right back at you in the form of a glass of water out of your tap. Not to be too disgusting here, but this is a fact of life. And you should be aware of it.

What was found in that 'see through' filter mentioned above was little flaky white particles that looked suspiciously like toilet paper.

Chemical analysis was not done to validate this and who knows what I was really seeing there. However, it made me interested in learning more about my drinking water.

I use a filter for the water I drink now and I really appreciate it. I cook with filtered water as well. Drinking clean filtered water is really great. The taste, or actually the lack of taste, because clean water doesn't have taste or odor, can be quite a dramatic contrast to what you might be used to.

Not all filters are created equal. Some take out lead and heavy metals, some just filter for taste. So you really have to do a little research and make sure you are getting a filter that is right for you, one that will fulfill your needs.
