Clean Water
Clean water is the foundation of good health. It is essential for maintaining proper bodily functions and preventing disease . Here are some benefits of drinking clean water:
Regulates body temperature:
Drinking water helps regulate your body temperature, which is important for maintaining optimal health.

Water helps flush out toxins and waste products from your body, which can help prevent illness and disease.
Promotes healthy skin:
Drinking enough water can help keep your skin hydrated and supple, which can help prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Boosts cognitive function:
The brain needs water to function properly, and when there isn’t enough, cognitive abilities are compromised. Studies have found that dehydration is linked to impaired cognitive function and memory. Drinking enough water can also boost serotonin production, which is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood.

Filter Your Water
If you are like us and drink city water here are some reasons why you should filter your water:
Removes fluoride: Fluoride is a mineral that is added to tap water to help prevent tooth decay. However, high levels of fluoride can negatively impact thyroid stimulating hormone.
Removes heavy metals: Heavy metals such as lead and mercury can be found in tap water and can cause serious health problems when consumed in large amounts.
Removes disinfectants: Chlorine and other disinfectants are added to tap water to kill bacteria and viruses. However, these chemicals can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and other health issues when consumed in large amounts.
Removes endocrine disruptors: Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with the body’s hormonal system and cause reproductive problems, developmental disorders, and other health issues.
By filtering your drinking water, you can ensure that you are consuming clean, safe, and healthy water that is free from harmful contaminants.
