Filtered Water Versus Tap Water: “Tap” Into Filtered Water

It’s no secret that tap water has improved a lot in recent years.  However, there are still chemicals in regular tap water that we all need to know about.  Now, we all know that drinking water promotes a vast array of health benefits, but what good is it if this same tap water that we are drinking day after day, and cup after cup contains chemicals that can actually harm us. 

Did you know that much of our plumbing infrastructure in the United States contains lead piping, lead service lines, or lead plumbing components, many of which are over 50 years old? According to a nationwide study from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), “Lead leaches into tap water through the corrosion of plumbing” (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su6104a1.htm) as out-of-date lead pipes and components start to break down.  Therefore, if we drink a lot of tap water over time this contaminated drinking water can affect fertility, liver function and more.

Flouride is another concern, which should not be taken lightly.  Once again when drinking a lot of tap water over time our thyroids could be damaged which, affects our thyroid hormone production.  Flouride can also damage our brain function as it is a neurotoxin.  A high fluoride content in water correlates with an up to seven-point decrease in IQ! 

Last but not least we have chlorine and chloramine.  Did you know that the government sanitizes water with chlorine?  Large scale studies have linked chlorinated water to bladder and colorectal cancer, therefore, chloramine came into the picture, but not without its disruptions, as chloramine corrodes lead, thereby combining old lead pipes/plumbing with corroded lead caused by the chloramine and you have even more lead in your water than you had before not to mention that chloramine doesn’t kill pathogens nearly as well as chlorine does. Its byproducts are potential carcinogens, and you can’t remove chloramine or its byproducts through boiling or distilling.

Now Let’s “Tap” Into Filtered Water

After reading the above it’s no wonder that people are safely drinking filtered water.  First of all the simple peace of mind knowing that our water is free from contamination alone would make anyone want to switch. However there are a lot more benefits to drinking filtered water then we know about.

Here are just a few:

• Improved Digestion
• Removes Chlorine
• Reduces Acid Reflux
• Has Anti-Oxidant Properties
• Reduces Cardio Stress
• Reduces Lime Scale
• Protects your Teeth
• Saves Money on Buying Bottled Water
• Saves the Planet by not Using Plastic

Join us in our quest to make ourselves the healthiest that we can be, while saving money and saving the planet all at the same time.  This is a no brainer, win-win for all!

Pure Water in Every Drop!

Staying Healthy and Safe During These Trying Times with Ronaqua!

Why is drinking water so important?

Drinking water helps nearly every part of the human body function. Our bodies are made up of two-thirds of water. You can imagine that water is a basic human need. Each person on our planet requires water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Water plays a big role in the lives - and death of people around the world. Polluted water causes 1.8 million deaths every year of diarrheal diseases like cholera. It’s a shame that millions are sickened by a water-related ailment which is easily preventable.

Next to air, water is necessary for human existence. The cells in our body depend on the water we drink to function properly. Drinking clean, safe water increases our energy, aids body in digestion, and lubricates our joints. Not only does it naturally help our bodies work, it brings forth a feeling of overall well-being. Once we realize that nearly 70% of the body's weight is made up of water, we will understand that the water we consume is essential for a life worth living.

Did you know...

• 20-30% of our work performance is based on our water intake
• By the time a person feels thirsty, his or her body has lost over 1 percent of its total water amount
• About 25,700 liters (6,800 gallons) of water is required to grow a day's food for a family of four.
• A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water. If a human does not absorb enough water dehydration is the result.
• If all the world's water were fit into a gallon jug, the fresh water available for us to use would equal only about one tablespoon
• A small drip from a faucet can waste as much as 75 liters of water a day.
• Human bones are 25% water.
• Most of the world's people must walk at least 3 hours to fetch water.
• Bottled water can be up to 1000 times more expensive than tap water and it may not be as safe.
• For every six ounces of caffeine or alcohol you consume, an additional 10 to 12 oz. of water is needed to rehydrate you.
• Doctors recommend we drink 6-8 glasses of water per day for optimum health, but this is often difficult when you don't like the taste or odor of your water or are concerned about the quality of your drinking water.

What’s the truth about Bottled Water?

Although we may think bottled water is our safest option - more than 25% of bottled water comes from a municipal supply. Most people are surprised to know that they’re drinking glorified tap water; and most labels on bottles don’t tell you where the water is even coming from.

The truth is, bottled water contains an excess amount of minerals which are added to the water supply. As our body needs only a small quantity of these minerals, bottled water can do more harm than good. In addition, plastic bottles contain Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Bisphenol A (BPA).

Some effects of these harmful plastic hardeners are and not limited to

• cancer
• neurological difficulties
• early puberty in girls
• reduced fertility in women
• premature labor
• defects in newborn babies

Plastic bottled also contain Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and Phthalates. These chemicals found in plastic are endocrine-disrupting additives that have been linked to a wide range of developmental and reproductive effects, including

• reduced sperm count
• testicular abnormality and tumors
• Gender development issues.

The FDA does not regulate phthalates or class them as a health hazard due to the supposedly minute amounts present in plastic bottles.
