People are making misinformed and uneducated choices about water that is robbing them of their health. Our body is about 75% water so we must consume the best beverages, foods and water to maintain our level of hydration each day. Unfortuantely many sources of the water we consume are contaminated with artificial additives, chemicals, drugs, heavy metals, plastic, pollution, sugars and toxins that are harming our level of health and well being. These chemicals and compounds in our beverages, foods and water are indirectly responsible for billions of dollars spent on chronic disease and health issues. Our health is our wealth and many people are making unhealthy choices regarding what water sources are best for our body.
Since our body is 75% water we must replenish it each day with clean water and avoid contaminated water. Unfortunately we live in a world where big corporations, governments and special interest groups can use confusion, deception and misinformation for their profit proposition and to deceive consumers about what water is healthy and what water is a health hazard that can harm our long term health. While it takes time to read, research and review resources to be better educated on the paramaters for pure water anyone can learn the best sources for clean water and how to avoid the health hazards of contaminated water.
