Water Purification System: Five Reasons Why You Should Buy One

Water is one of the most important elements for life to exist. It is so important that it contributes to about 60 percent of our body’s total weight. If we stop drinking water, our bodies would shut down within a matter of days. Water is needed to transport nutrients and keep cells healthy. It allows cells to communicate and fight diseases, and prevents our bodies from overheating. Even though clean water is so important for our health, many of us take it for granted because we are allowing certain companies to pollute our limited water supply. The actions by these companies are polluting our drinking water to the point where it is now affecting our health.

Five reasons why you should buy a water purification system

1. Natural ground water and tap water are not as clean as claimed by water manufacturers. They are usually contaminated with certain natural impurities, such as nitrate, radon, bacteria, arsenic and other trace metals. Consuming these natural impurities can cause negative effects on your health.
2. Within the past few decades, human contaminants, such as pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents, pharmaceutical drugs and toxic waste are contaminating water systems in dangerous levels. These toxins can cause health problems, such as birth defects and cancer. If you drink a lot of tap water, you are putting yourself at a higher risk of getting these toxins in your body.
3. Most of the water treatment systems use for cleaning drinking water do a poor job removing contaminants, such as pesticides, arsenic, lead, mercury and industrial chemicals. Also, the types of chemicals they use for cleaning drinking water do not make it safer to drink. Instead, they increase the amounts of pollutants in the drinking water because these chemicals are usually toxins themselves.
4. Most water treatment systems in the United States add fluoride in their water. Fluoride was known as rat poison because it was used to kill rats before it was used to treat contaminated water. Researchers found that fluoride is very toxic to the body. The thyroid gland is one of the organs that suffers the most because it collects nearly twice as much fluoride. The thyroid gland is needed for immunity, metabolism and for controlling certain hormones. It is important to know that most home water purification systems can not remove fluoride. In order to effectively remove fluoride, you will need to use a special filter called activated alumina (AAL).
5. Water has incredible healing capabilities which is why researchers are now studying how water can help the body fight cancer. One of the major differences between a cancer cell and a normal cell is the state at where their water is vibrating. The water in cancer cells is also fuzzy instead of clear like the water in normal cells. Because of water’s healing capabilities, it is important to drink water that contains little or no contaminants.

The water purification system I recommend is the Royal Berkey with PF-2 fluoride filters (aff. link). It does an excellent job removing heavy metals, fluoride and harmful substances. According to Berkey, its water filter systems can remove red food coloring from water without sacrificing its nutrients.
