Why do you need to have pure drinking water? First, you have to look at the human anatomy. More than 70 percent of your body is composed of water. If you don't have enough, you can easily get dehydrated, preventing all organs to function properly.

Pure drinking water is essential for those who want to lose weight, since it makes them feel full and is a natural moisturizer for the skin. It also aids in cell regeneration and repair.

Because of this, the qualifications for clean water are very high. It's important that it's not laden with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as lead and mercury since they can be poisonous to the body.

Of course, the water should also not have any bacterium, virus, or parasite that would cause various illnesses such as diarrhea or dysentery.

Lastly, water should be crystal clear and free of any odor. Now, with the presence of so many pollutants out there, is it still possible to get clean water?

The answer is yes, and so far, you have two options. You can buy bottled water or use a filtration system.

Why Bottled Water May Not Be a Good Idea

Surely, if you're made to pick any of the two, you'd go for bottled water. As manufacturers would have it, the water passes through a series of filters, even 21 of them, to assure that the quality of water is of utmost quality.

However, there are two things that you may not know about. First, this industry is not properly regulated. This means that the manufacturers can basically make claims and not be found out about it. Whether you like it or not, there are a number of them that are still using the municipal water system, the same one you utilize for your tap water.

Second, the water can still be contaminated because it can absorb the chemicals and other physical properties of the bottle. In fact, bottled water will always have an expiration date. If you go beyond it, the water becomes unusable and unhealthy.

Your best option therefore is to simply use filters, but make sure that they are not the ordinary ones. It's ideal to seek out filters that will not only trap sediments and other pollutants that you can see but also bacteria and viruses that can cause more harm to your body.

These filters can be those that are laden with carbon, which can trap microorganisms. You can also buy UV filters where the UV rays can cause disruption into the structures of these bacteria, making them sterile or even dead.

Consider using activated carbon filters too to properly trap all VOCs, THMs and waterborne contaminants.

Pure drinking water is a essential part of any diet. Don't take chances with tap water. Get a quality water filter today.
