Water is essential for human bodies to function and thrive and drinking enough of it in its purest form will make you look and feel noticeably better.
The average person's body weight is made up of 50-70% water so drinking fresh, filtered water is an easy way to boost your health and wellbeing. Water helps the body to grow and fight illness; to get rid of necessary waste; and to regulate temperature. Despite this, most people don't drink the one and a half to three litres of water a day that health experts recommend.
As well as for drinking, water is integral to our daily activities including washing and cleaning. The quality of our water is vital and making a simple change by installing a tap water filter or a water filtration system to your home or business premises can make a big difference to your health .
Here are five ways that using fresh, filtered water can boost your health:
Clean out impurities
Though UK tap water is among the safest in the world, it is still contaminated with chlorine, oestrogen, lead, aluminium and other potentially harmful substances. The quality of the water you consume and use impacts on your health and hydration, and it tastes better too. Pure water is especially important for children as it helps to develop a strong immune system.
Boost your energy
Your body needs water to produce energy. The body loses fluid in a variety of ways throughout the day and a drop in fluid levels makes you feel tired. Many people don't even realise they are dehydrated. Aim to drink between 8 and 12 glasses of water a day and increase this if the weather is hot or you are exercising.
Improve your looks
Chlorine in normal tap water can dry out your skin, hair and nails. Washing in filtered water will give you softer, shinier hair; reduce skin problems such as acne, eczema and dry skin; and strengthen nails which become dry and weak from exposure to chlorinated water through washing, cleaning and drinking.
Aid digestion and nutrition
Water enables the digestive system to get rid of waste products and absorb essential nutrients. Dehydration can affect the proper ingestion of vitamins and nutrients. Drinking, fresh, filtered water boosts the function of the liver and the kidneys as they are able to spend less time combating the toxins in ordinary tap water and can, instead, keep the body working at optimum performance.
Boost weight loss
Drinking enough water can control appetite urges as often when we think we are hungry, our bodies are trying to tell us we are dehydrated. Water also regulates the metabolism which helps to burn fat.
Drinking pure, quality water can make you look and feel better and keep your body working at its maximum capacity. Looking after yourself means making sure the water you use and consume is as clean and healthy as it can be. Fresh, filtered water helps people of all ages to thrive, to fight disease and to perform at their maximum levels of health and vitality all of the time.
