The first step to a healthier body! |
Most people are dehydrated
and don't even know it |
| It is absolutely true
that most people are dehydrated, and many if not most people
are severely dehydrated and are not even aware of it. Since water
is the predominant compound of the human body it only makes sense
that a lack of water in the body will lead to both short term
and long term negative health effects. Here are a few of the
side effects of dehydration: |
- Accelerated aging due to cell and organ dehydration
- Increased bone breakdown and decreased bone formation
- Decreased muscle mass
- Increased blood pressure
- Inhibited immune response
- Chronic fatigue
- Obesity
- The chronic build-up of toxins in the body
- Terminal illnesses such as cancer and heart disease, caused
by the combination of free radical damage, inadequate DNA repair
and a weakened immune response
|
"As a result of not drinking enough water, many people
encounter such problems as excess body fat, poor muscle tone
and size, decreased digestive efficiency and organ function,
increased toxicity in the body, joint and muscle soreness (particularly
after exercise) and water retention." |
How
much water should I drink on a daily basis? |
| Here is a good rule of
thumb as an answer to this all important question: Take your
weight, divide it in two and that will give you the number of
fluid ounces that you should have as your daily pure water intake.
For instance a 200lb person should drink approximately 100 fluid
ounces, or 12 eight ounce glasses of pure water per day. |
What
is wrong with tap water? |
Most tap water contains either all, or a combination of some
of the following contaiminants: |
- Arsenic
- Chlorine
- Fluoride
- Hydrogen Sulfide
- Radon Gas
|
- Lean
- Ether
- Chromium
- Nitrates
- Nuclear Waste
|
| Most people do not realize
that the pipes carrying municipal water supplies are themselves
sources of contamination. |
What
is Reverse Osmosis water? |
| Reverse Osmosis ("R/O")
is a water treatment process in which water is forced through
a semi-permeable membrane that has very small holes or pores.
Clean water passes through and impurities are left behind and
flushed away. During the initial filtration stage, tap water
or well water is passed through a particle filter that removes
silt, sediment, sand and clay particles. The water is then forced
through and activated carbon filter that traps minerals and contaminants
such as mercury, copper, chloramine, chlorine and pesticides.
Water is then transferred under pressure into the R/O module,
allowing only clean water to pass through the small pores in
the membrane. Impurities unable to pass through the membrane
are left behind and flushed down the drain. |
