Drinking water is not optional; we all need to drink water in order to remain hydrated and healthy and regular water consumption is relatively easy to incorporate into your daily regimen.
While water is relatively easy to come by, it is not always easy to find unpolluted drinking water, even in our taps, and drinking polluted water can do more harm than good. So where do I start? What are my drinking water options if I want to drink water that is going to be good for my body and not harm me in any way?
· Tap Water
Tap water is the water that most of us are used to and use for everything from drinking water to watering our gardens, food preparation, laundry and personal hygiene, but it is not always the best to use for drinking water.
Apart from the chlorine and fluoride in most tap water, both of which are toxic, there are often many other contaminants found in the public water supply such as pharmaceuticals and heavy metals from corroding infrastructure.
· Bottled Water
Bottled water has become hugely popular over the past few decades, but it is unfortunately not the best option for a number of reasons; some bottled water is nothing more than the self-same tap water that has just been bottled and slapped with a fancy label.
Most bottled water comes in plastic bottles, and this is a major problem as many of the bottles still contains Bisphenol A, which is a carcinogenic hormone that can also cause obesity, and intestinal problems. The other problem is all the millions of plastic water bottles end up in landfills all over the globe, which is an environmental disaster.
· Filtered Water
Filtered Water is by far the best water to drink after spring water, but some of the most punted water filters or water filter systems only remove some of the contaminants found in water. It is therefore important that you choose your water filtering system carefully.
· Water Coolers
Water Coolers are about the best way to ensure that you are drinking water that is pure, unpolluted and great-tasting. Once again though, make sure that the water cooler that you choose is a good one and suits your needs.
Living-Water offers a range of bottled water coolers which come with their own Living-Water Spring Water, sourced at origin as well as a range of Mains Water Coolers to suit your every need and every budget, and which can be fitted with a Living-Water Triple Activated Carbon Filter for the best-tasting, healthiest drinking water 24/7.
