Pure Water - A Necessity For Life

The importance of "healthy water" and where to get it may very well be the most beneficial health information any of us can learn. The simple fact that our bodies are more than 70% water tells us how extremely important its quality is. Without an abundant intake of healthy, chemical-free watervirtually every other wellness effort is in vain.
While every health and wellness expert will agree on the importance of "healthy water," most have different opinions on its definition and source. But the fact is that it's no longer an opinion. There's now enough scientific data on the subject for a logical and reasonable conclusion.
The healthiest water doesn't come from your tap, it doesn't come in a bottle, it doesn't come from distillation or reverse osmosisit comes from "selective filtration."
Many have switched to bottled water under the false assumption that its purity is assured to be better than tap. The truth is that bottled water is only required to be "as good as" tap not better. And the federal guidelines that govern bottled water quality only apply if water is transported across state lines. Most bottled water is bottled and sold within the same state in order to avoid regulation. It's an industry full of deception. Bottled water is currently the fastest-growing and most profitable segment of the entire beverage industry.
The old school of thought was that distilled and reverse osmosis water were the healthiest; this is also now known to be untrue. Both of these methods were designed over 40 years ago for industrial purposes as they are "demineralizing" processes. Once you strip the trace minerals from water, the pH drops and the water becomes aggressive. Water, by nature, will always seek to balance its pH. If we consume de-mineralized water, it will pull minerals from our body to seek that balance. And neither of these processes are very effective at removing synthetic organic chemicals, since all SOCs are molecularly smaller and vaporize at lower temperatures than water.
The most recent and effective technologies for truly healthy water are "selective filtration" systems that can distinguish between contaminants and trace minerals. They are also the most convenient and economical.
