Clean water and your body’s basic functions

Two of the most common factors in chronic disease and un-natural aging are dehydration, or “drying-out,” and the accumulation of toxins in the cells created by processed foods and the overuse of medications. Lack of intracellular water or dehydration is predicted today to be part of the “aging” process.

Fluids fill every space in cells and between them. As the primary fluid in the body, water serves as a solvent for minerals, vitamins, amino acids, glucose, and many other nutrients. Water also plays a key role in the digestion, absorption, transportation, and use of nutrients. Water is also critical for the elimination of toxins and waste products and whole body thermo-regulation is critically dependent on it. From energy production to join lubrication to reproduction, there is no system in the body that does not depend on water.

If you don’t drink enough water, you can’t properly flush your kidneys or liver, the colon can’t properly move your bowels, and this allows your body to retain the unhealthy toxins it takes in. As the waste remains too long in your body, you give your body more time to reabsorb the toxins back into your bloodstream and thus circulate these harmful chemicals to every organ in your body. Water is required for digesting and expelling everything, including the alternative beverages you choose to drink.

Unfortunately, most municipal water sources contains various levels of arsenic, fluoride, chlorine and a host of other unhealthy toxins. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that VOCs are present in one-fifth of the nation’s water supplies. Benzene, for example, may enter ground water from gasoline or oil spills on the ground surface or from leaking underground fuel tanks. Other common VOCs are dichloromethane (methylene chloride), an industrial solvent; trichloroethylene, used in septic system cleaners; and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), used in the dry-cleaning industry. So when we drink water from the tap, we are actually ingesting water that contains a mixture of toxic, poisonous chemicals that spells danger and at the very least overburdening work for our colons.

How To Eliminate Chemical Toxins from Water

• A water purification unit to service your entire house can eliminate as much as 99% of the chemical toxins from your water. If it’s not financially possible, you may consider installing inexpensive units under the sinks of your kitchen and bathroom. Be sure to maintain your filters for optimal water filtration.
• Purified water, distilled water, or clean well water with added organic apple cider vinegar is a very nutritious drink.
• Foods rich in sulphur include onions, garlic and eggs. It’s important to eat sulphur-rich foods because the sulphur helps to remove arsenic from the body.
• Since your skin is an absorbent organism, it can take in many toxins directly from skin. Install bath filters and shower filters, to help cleanse toxins from your water.
• Try to purchase water in glass bottles whenever it’s available, or better yet make your own filtered water.
• For your swimming pool, use chlorine free pool cleaners because they use copper ions and ozone.
• You can purify your water with an easy to use, top-quality water purifier.
• All the toxins your body takes in from breathing, eating and drinking, end up in your colon. You can help your body to expel them by cleansing your colon regularly to prevent build-up of arsenic, fluoride, lead and other water toxins.
• There is a PurTest® Arsenic Test that is an easy-to-use screening kit to test your home water levels for the presence of heavy metal.
