Water is vital to almost every bodily function, which is why we need to drink water regularly in order to stay hydrated. Water helps clean out toxins, cushions the joints, aids digestion, suppresses the appetite, regulates temperature, and helps distribute blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, and lots more.
If you do not drink sufficient water, the level of water in your body will become less than the required 70%, and you will become dehydrated. Dehydration leads to a dry mouth, thirst, decreased sweating, decreased urination, fatigue, muscle cramps, headaches, low urine volume, increased heart rate, vomiting, and more.
There has been a rise in allergies in the UK in recent years, with approximately ten million adults being allergic to various foodstuffs. Between 4-6% of children and between 1-2% of adults are affected by food allergies which, according to a study published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, this may be due to dichlorophenols, which are chemicals that are added to drinking water. Dichlorophenol can also be found in pesticides, and various household products, and may weaken food tolerance and cause food allergies.
Triclosan, an anti-bacterial that can break down to form dichlorophenol, can be found in lipsticks, kitchen utensils, face washes, and toothpaste.
Much of the UK chlorinates its drinking water to kill germs, and this can be the source of allergies, including eczema, rashes, or sudden-onset anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal, especially in children.
If you or anyone else in your family is suffering from itchy noses, runny eyes, sneezing bouts, itchy rashes, blinding sinus headaches or any other type of allergy, maybe it is time for you to ditch the tap water and invest in your health by purchasing a water cooler that will ensure that you are drinking only the most pure water.
Whether you decide to invest in a bottled water cooler such as one of those from Living-Water, which dispenses Living-Water Spring Water sourced from a natural underground source that filters through the geologically famous rock strata of the Wenlock mountain range, or a mains water cooler fitted with a Triple Activated Carbon Filter is your choice.
