Water and You
Aquasana Research
Learning the importance of water, the hazards of water contamination, and the benefits of home water filtration can be a very rewarding effort, both physically and financially. The contents of this site give factual and useful information on the need for and the benefits of healthy water, one of the most essential and yet most overlooked parts of our lives. The information provided is the result of over 15 years of specialized study in the water quality industry, as well as a passionate belief in our body’s ability to achieve and sustain health far beyond conventional expectations. Even a brief review of this topic will yield a substantial increase in awareness and a surprising common sense conclusion... Water is the essence of life!
Ingestion of waterborne contaminants is now known to be a major factor in the current epidemics of cancer and heart disease. Both the medical and scientific communities agree that clean water is one of the most essential and fundamental elements to sustained health. Either we can filter out the contaminants prior to consumption or we force our body to become the filter. The problem of harmful chemicals in our water is very real. We live in a world where we have sacrificed the purity of our environment for modern conveniences; disease and illness are the price we pay. There are currently over 75,000 different toxic synthetic chemicals used in our society and over 1000 new chemicals being introduced each year. We have learned the hard way that any chemical we produce and use will eventually wind up in the water we drink.
For most of us, being healthy and happy is the result of a conscious and determined effort in a chosen direction. Our physical wellbeing is the cumulative result of many things: diet, exercise, attitude, and certainly our environment. Air and water are the two primary components to life. It is difficult, if not impossible, to ensure the purity of the air we breathe. This fact only makes the quality of our water even more critical. Our body possesses a very effective means of flushing out toxins and impurities. The proper performance of our detoxification system is one of the most determining factors in the absence or likelihood of disease in our life. Water is the key to optimum performance. Detoxification requires an abundant intake of clean, chemical free water, as do all other healing processes that happen inside our body. The more we drink, and the purer the water is, the more we increase our body’s natural ability to flush out harmful toxins and sustain youthful longevity.
Every living creature on this planet is made up primarily of water. The human body is more than 72% water, making the importance of water quality a common sense equation. If water makes up over 2/3 of our body, then naturally the quality of that water is going to have a major impact on our health and wellbeing. Water is the foundation of our body, and, like any structure, if the foundation is of poor quality, the expectation of strength and longevity will not be fulfilled.
