When I speak of drinking water I am refering to water that has been appropriately filtered, either with a product such as my Kitchen Defender or six stage custom reverse osmosis system. Water straight out of the tap is carcinogenic. That is a known fact and you can find the proof here: Sweetwater’s home water purification systems
The benefits of drinking appropriately filtered water include:
– making blood clots less likely
– decreased risk of heart disease
– prevents kidney stones
– wards off urinary infections
– less likely to develop bladder cancer
– being well hydrated improves your thinking
– drinking water before a meal aids in weight loss
The Institute of Medicine recommends women consume 2.7 liters and men 3.7 liters daily (about 11 and 15 glasses of water a day, respectively).
