Water Quality

what's in your water

The United States has not set any limits on safe levels of over 160 water contaminants. Most of the population is drinking water with highly toxic and dangerous chemicals like: chromium( think Erin Brockovich), nitrate, and excessive amounts of chlorine and fluoride. More and more studies are coming out linking our drinking water to cancers and various chronic conditions. 92% of our hydration needs to be taken in through the food we eat or water (and other liquids). We bathe in water and absorb it through our skin. It is essential to prioritize a safe water source to not only drastically decrease the toxins we consume, but to take off the tremendous burden put onto our bodily systems from these chemicals. Main water sources are also heavily concentrated in micro plastics, pharmaceuticals, parasites, metals, and more. What about bottled water? Nearly all sources of bottled water are just tap water that is put into a plastic bottle. 

Purifying Water

Many of the below companies sell various types of filtration systems including counter top, under-the-sink, whole house, traveling, shower, and bath options.

Typically the most effective filtration systems are those that distill the water, or use reverse osmosis technology. There are some companies whose filters use alternate processes to successfully purify water, but it is vital to dig into their testing results to ensure that they are filtering to the degree they’re being marketed as. Brita, purity, and other top filtration companies do a very poor job of filtrating water. It is not recommended to rely on them for safe drinking water. 

spring water

Spring water is an alternative solution to drinking water that is incredibly supportive to the body. If you can access a spring close to you that is not saturated in pesticides, chemicals, or feces from animals then that is an excellent option. Testing this water if you are unsure is a good idea (there are testing kits that can be ordered online).

mineral replacement

It is essential to reintroduce minerals to water that has been distilled or gone through reverse osmosis. This water is stripped of minerals that are critical to the body. High quality salt is an excellent source of minerals and can be added to water. Herbs are another great way to add in minerals as well as naturally structure your water.
