The human body consists of around 70% water, and we need to drink water regularly in order to maintain that balance. When the water levels in our bodies drop we become dehydrated which can lead to headaches, dizziness, fatigue, an inability to perform complicated calculations and more.
While more people are taking heed of the messages to drink more water, is the water that we are drinking really safe and toxin-free? Authorities in most countries tell citizens that the water that comes out of their tap is healthy and good to drink, but this is not always the case, even in the UK.
Apart from the chemicals put into the water to disinfect and purify it such as chlorine and fluoride, both of which have been proven to be unhealthy and carcinogenic, chances are that you are also drinking various drugs in your tap water.
When you open your tap and fill a glass of water to drink, you may not only be drinking water but may also be drinking some of your neighbour’s drugs, including pharmaceuticals such as pain medications, neurological drugs, hormone treatments, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and various other prescription drugs.
Although these are only vestiges of pharmaceutical drugs, there is sufficient in the water to affect fish in the rivers and can also negatively affect your health when imbibed over a long period of time and can wreak havoc with your health unbeknownst to you.
What may be even more shocking to you and definitely worse for your health is the fact that your tap water may also contain trace amounts of recreational drugs such as cocaine. Imagine drinking all these drugs without knowing it and even worse, imagine your children drinking these drugs in their drinking water.
While authorities insist that these trace amounts are so minute that they cannot possibly harm us, I for one am not willing to take that chance. The best way to ensure that the water that you are drinking is 100% pure and toxin-free is to invest in a water cooler. A mains water cooler is plumbed directly into your main water line and can be fitted with a water filter. Water coolers will supply you with chilled drinking water virtually non-stop, and the initial outlay will soon be recovered.
