WATER FACTS

Approximately 70 percent of the body is composed of water. This vital fluid is the second most important element needed to survive after oxygen. Due to its physical and chemical characteristics, water has several functions within the body: the maintenance of blood volume and transporting nutrients and oxygen. It acts as a solvent in many metabolic processes and actively participates as a reagent in chemical reactions. It is used by the body to eliminate toxins and waste products. When there is less water in the body, the heart works harder to pump oxygenated blood to all cells and other major organs. This can cause fatigue.

Drinking clean, freshwater is necessary for the manufacture and proper functioning of each cell in the body. It is an essential nutrient for the body. Hence, the need to consume it in the purest form.

Protection from chemicals

Perhaps the most important of the benefits of purified water is that it removes harmful chemical agents from the water before you drink it. Water that comes from the tap in your sink is treated at the local water plant to some degree, but even that water generally contains chemical agents designed to keep it “clean” in a scientific sense. Even putting that aside, this water travels through the city's plumbing grid and then through your own pipes before it gets to your tap. If there are any impurities in that system of pipes, which is likely the case, they could wind up in what you drink. Examples of substances found in tap water by way of various studies over the years include:

• Arsenic
• Aluminum
• Lead
• Chlorine
