10 Reasons to Drink Water

  1. Water is absolutely essential to the human body’s survival. A person can live for about a month without food, but only about a week without water.
  2. Water helps to maintain healthy body weight by increasing metabolism and regulating appetite.
  3. Water leads to increased energy levels. The most common cause of daytime fatigue is actually mild dehydration.
  4. Drinking adequate amounts of water can decrease the risk of certain types of cancers, including colon cancer, bladder cancer, and breast cancer.
  5. For a majority of sufferers, drinking water can significantly reduce joint and/or back pain.
  6. Water leads to overall greater health by flushing out wastes and bacteria that can cause disease.
  7. Water can prevent and alleviate headaches.
  8. Water naturally moisturises skin and ensures proper cellular formation underneath layers of skin to give it a healthy, glowing appearance.
  9. Water aids in the digestion process and prevents constipation.
  10. Water is the primary mode of transportation for all nutrients in the body and is essential for proper circulation.

10 Reasons to Use a Water Filter

  1. In order to capitalise on the health benefits of water, it is essential to draw from a clean source of water.
  2. Drinking impure, contaminated water is the leading cause of epidemic disease in developing countries.
  3. There are more than 2100 known drinking water contaminants that may be present in tap water, including several known poisons.
  4. Bottled water does not offer a viable alternative to tap water.
  5. Municipal water treatment facilities cannot always control for the outbreak of dangerous bacterial contaminants in tap water.
  6. The only way to ensure pure, contaminant-free drinking water is through the use of a point-of-use filtration system in your home or office.
  7. Several types of cancer can be attributed to the presence of toxic materials in drinking water.
  8. Clean, healthy drinking water is essential to a child’s proper mental and physical development.
  9. According to the EPA, lead in drinking water contributes to 480,000 cases of learning disorders in children each year in the United States alone.
  10. It is especially important for pregnant women to drink pure water as lead in drinking water can cause severe birth defects.

10 Benefits of Using a Water Filter

  1. Water filters provide better tasting and better smelling drinking water by reducing chlorine and bacterial contaminants.
  2. Point-of-use water filters reduce lead from drinking water immediately prior to consumption, thus preventing this harmful substance from entering the body.
  3. The purchase of a countertop filter results in a source of clean, healthy water that costs much less than bottled water.
  4. Water filters greatly reduce the risk of rectal cancer, colon cancer, and bladder cancer by reducing chlorine and chlorine byproducts such as Trihalomethanes and Disinfectant By-Products from drinking water.
  5. A solid block carbon water filter can selectively reduce dangerous contaminants from drinking water while retaining healthy mineral deposits that balance the pH of drinking water.
  6. Drinking clean, filtered water protects the body from disease and leads to overall greater health.
  7. A water filter provides clean, healthy water for cooking, as well as drinking, at the convenience of tap water.
  8. Water filters reduce the risk of gastrointestinal disease by more than 33 percent by reducing cryptosporidium and giardia from drinking water.
  9. Drinking pure water is especially important for children. Water filters provide the healthiest water for children’s developing immune systems.
  10. Water filters offer the last line of defense between the body and the over 2100 known toxins that may be present in drinking water.

Recycled Water ... what can we do?

Written by: Jaclyn Barker, zazen Water - Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Recycled water is an issue that many Queenslanders are concerned about.  The research I have done shows that the government (and others around the world), are filtering this water with the very best filtration systems available.  Stripping everything they possibly can out of the water – this water will then be mixed into our dam supplies etc. to become part of our drinking water.  The fact that they are trying to “strip everything other than water” out is very very positive with the current water filtration and disinfectant technologies (which we would expect at a minimum from our government and health authorities).

The UNKNOWN is that what is left in the “dead RECYCELD water” are potentially “drug residues”.  However, the quantities of these drug residues is said to be very small (antibiotics, contraceptive pills etc.).  They are not able to be measured with current technologies.  My current reading and research leads me to believe that no one really knows what the consequence of any of this may be on our long term health.  

So what I am doing is making available the zazen Alkaline Water System because of its exceptional filtration and enhancement rebalancing technologies so that we remove as much of these unknowns as possible BUT also take it to the next CRITICAL step.    That is to REBUILD THE WATER TO SUPPORT OUR BODY’S NEEDS and support the body in releasing any of the toxins that we ingest from “just living” in our modern times.

By ensuring the body is well hydrated (see what that means below) means we HELP our body perform all its metabolic functions – INCLUDING RELEASING TOXINS which are DUMPED INTO CELLS by our blood so it can maintain a healthy alkaline level state!  As we dehydrate the blood becomes thicker, and is not able to release as much fluid to cells, so cells are not able to perform at their optimum including completing all the metabolic processes which include releasing METABOLIC by-products. Over time our cells and bodies become more acidic or toxic.. the reason why so many advertisers push – “DETOX” etc. which is fine but not without adequate alkaline mineral water to flush out our cells continuously!

EFFECTIVE Hydration needs ALKALINE MINERAL WATER (FLUID + ionized MINERALS including the 3 ELECTROLYTE minerals).  That is why I call water a NUTRIENT.  It is in fact our foundation Nutrient.  zazen Alkaline Water has a full (naturally created) balanced range of electrolytes and minerals. Electrolytes transport the Nutrients and the fluid into the cell – ensuring that the cell can perform all the METABOLIC functions including the RELEASE OF TOXINS effectively on an ongoing basis.   

With Alkaline Mineral Water you hydrate so much faster because the water is in balance with the body’s needs and is absorbed immediately by the cells.  Other water such as bottled & tap etc. need to go to the stomach and be rebalanced – have minerals released into them from the body so that the body can use it.  In many instances the body simply passes the water out because many of us are mineral deficient and therefore the body cannot absorb the fluid and any nutrients through the intracellular wall – again compounding dehydration.   So with alkaline mineral water – it acts as a natural detox process – enabling the cell to perform its metabolic functions more completely and effectively.  That is why I am so passionate about educating people about this.   

If we have to drink recycled water and breathe toxic air etc. then what’s the 1 key thing we can each do to make sure we are keeping ourselves and our families as healthy as possible that’s easy and convenient?  DRINK ALKALINE MINERAL WATER and Help Your Body do the job it is designed to do, keeping you healthy and vital!

I know people who drank “high quality filtered water” for years – as soon as they start drinking zazen Alkaline Water - they are astounded to find that they feel “better” immediately and do not drink as much coffee or crave sweets etc.  Yet prior they thought they were “well hydrated”.  In fact they weren’t because most of the water passed through them.  They also notice that they are less wrinkled!  A sure sign that we are hydrating well.
