In the US we have major issues with food and water quality and sourcing as well as the regulations surrounding safety. Developed countries should not have to fight for these basic needs. I noticed a change in my water about a week ago. I started to taste chlorine when brushing my teeth. I boil my drinking water once to remove contaminants and preserve the minerals but now this discovery has pushed me to get a shower filter as well. Our skin is the largest organ of the body and absorbs toxins. What we put on our bodies matters as much as what we put in.

Most Americans are dehydrated and loose the ability to absorb food nutrients. it is important to understand just how small tasks like drinking water can make such a positive impact on your health. When a person goes for long periods of time without water, their electrolyte balance changes, making it harder for the body to absorb water molecules at which the electrolytes provide at a faster rate. It is also important to drink from non porous materials, such as glass or stainless steel. Plastic in all forms is highly toxic, why? due to a natural process called leaching, which is caused by chlorides that are present in ground water (potassium, calcium, magnesium) Plastics are also a petroleum product, made of materials such as cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt and of course, crude oil. Crude oil is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds and needs to be processed before it can be used.
