Eliminate common Contaminants: Choose Bottled

Why is bottled water so popular? Consult any diet book, medical website, or doctor, and they’ll tell you to start drinking water if you want to lose weight or improve your health. While water’s benefits are quite clear, the water in our taps isn’t, and bottled water may be our best choice to improve health and lose weight.

Americans consume toxins such as hormones, pesticides and chemicals daily, in huge quantities. Ingesting the recommended amounts of water each day can help the liver and kidneys flush these poisons from the body more effectively. Without enough water, the toxins can build up and cause health problems like headaches, stiff joints and pain. If these toxins can’t be excreted in the urine, they try to exit the body through the skin, causing acne, eczema and other skin conditions.

Water is important in helping the body rid itself of toxins, but it also aids in weight loss by helping with appetite supression and burn fat. Almost every diet plan on the market cites drinking water as an important factor in weight loss.

Bottled water is important, since almost all of America’s water supply is contaminated with some level of chlorine, lead or mercury. Millions of Americans are exposed to water that has higher than recommended levels of these and other harmful chemicals. Bottled or filtered water can eliminate the risk that this contamination poses, while allowing the user to maintain adequate hydration.

Bottled water and filtered water are the only truly safe alternatives to tap water. Invest in your health and keep a ready supply of bottled water, and remember to get those 8 glasses every day!
