Most Americans use tap water for many of their daily needs. It’s hard for us to believe that the water from our faucet can be dangerous to our health. However, there are dangerous tap water pollutants that threaten our health and may make you think twice next time you take a shower or get a glass of tap water to drink.
A glass of tap water make look clear to the naked eye but it’s really hiding dangerous tap water pollutants. More than 140 unregulated chemicals have been found in our tap water including phthalates that are used for making plastic. In addition to phthalates there is chlorine, fluoride, chloramine (ammonia and chlorine combined), left over pharmaceutical drugs, nitrates and nitrites from farms, cleaning agents, chemicals from household products, heavy metals like arsenic and mercury, and much more.
The lead in tap water alone may cause learning disorders in children! Tap water drinkers also run the risk of getting gastrointestinal diseases. Outbreaks of waterborne diseases can be linked to our drinking water. They may cause such health problems as diarrhea and fever.
Even small amounts of chemicals that are usually found in tap water can be dangerous. People who drink chlorinated tap water are more likely to develop cancer than those who drink pure and safe water. Chlorine is used in order to purify water. Studies show that chlorine byproducts can increase the risk of miscarriage. Thus, pregnant women should avoid drinking the water from their faucet. Chlorine in your shower water can make your skin dry and worsen such conditions as psoriasis and eczema.
Many Americans are aware of some of these tap water pollutants and choose to drink bottled water instead. But did you know that, just like tap water, bottled water can also contain harmful contaminants? In fact, tap water is regulated more strictly than bottled water. What’s worse, most bottled water is just purified tap water. They use reverse osmosis or water distillation to remove everything from the water. Sure, the bottled water is pure but it’s nowhere near safe.
When you strip water of all of it’s natural minerals, oxygen, and antioxidants, you’re left with stagnant, dead, acidic water. If you drink this acidic bottled water for too long, it will steal minerals from your bones, steal nutrients from the food you eat, and flush all that good stuff out of your body. You may even develop acidosis symptoms like not sleeping well, having low energy, and being cranky.
If you don’t drink bottled water, you may try a home water filter. In addition to the chemicals added by municipal water treatment plants, old pipes in your house may leach chemicals that get into your drinking water. Some people buy a home-testing kit that measures chlorine, lead, nitrates and bacteria in tap water and then buy a water filtration system to address these issue. This home water filtration system is a good idea. It is particularly important for kids, pregnant women and people who suffer from chronic illnesses. Drinking pure and healthy water may also help you prevent degenerative disease.
Besides your drinking water, you should attach a filter to your showerheads. Chemicals in your tap water can become atomized and you may end up breathing in those chemicals when you shower and the rest can absorb into your skin.
But the best solution for protecting yourself from tap water pollutants is an EOS water ionizer, which will purify your water to 99.99% purity but also restore the antioxidants to water and make your tap water alkaline and not acidic.
Ionized alkaline water is as close to natural water that you can get. It has roughly the same mineral, oxygen, and antioxidant content as the water from the famous Fountain of Youth in Lourdes, France and other famed longevity springs.
So, protect yourself and your family from dangerous tap water pollutants and also improve their health with antioxidants when you drink ionized alkaline water from an EOS water ionizer.
To your health!
