IS YOUR TAP WATER KILLING YOU? DRINK ONLY CLEAN WATER – TAP WATER IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL TIMES.
DO YOU KNOW What people do in that stuff?
Most of our bodies, 50%-70%, IS water. Although we don’t think of it this way, Water is a Nutrient that helps to remove toxins and optimize digestive function. Everyone should drink plenty of pure water throughout the day. Estimates vary as to how much is best, but a guide line is to DRINK ½ YOUR BODY WEIGHT in ounces of PURE WATER EACH DAY. At 120 pounds you would drink about 60 ounces or 2 quarts of pure water daily. Distilled water is the water of choice for people with medical conditions. However, you must be eating quality foods and supplementing properly to maintain mineral levels. Reverse osmosis units produce good quality purified water, close to pure H2O. Most water bottled in plastic is unacceptable. All fluids and drinks should be taken at room temperature or warmed, not chilled or iced.
Municipal water treatment systems do not remove many pollutants, including pharmaceuticals and their by products, and often add chlorine and fluoride, which are toxic to the human body. Avoid unfiltered tap water at all times.
