Ever wondered how to find the best water filter? After all, every brand and type all make the same claim to deliver the purest and healthiest, all with equally sound arguments. What is one to do? Some of the most common types are listed below, listing their pros and cons, as well as a brief explanation. Perhaps, then, you can decide which the best water filter.
Reverse Osmosis
A trend of late, reverse osmosis involves pushing water through a membrane with extremely small pores under high pressure. In doing so, much of the harmful compounds are kept out (as they can’t pass through the pores); however, minerals which the body can benefit from are also retained. In many cases, other synthetic chemicals can also get through. As with most reverse osmosis filtration, a good percentage of water is wasted not having passed through, as much as 75%.

Healthy Water – Answer To 6 Common Ailments
Just imagine if you could find a natural remedy to the various, but common, physical afflictions endured in our fast-paced world. It is closer than you think, refreshing and healthy, water. Water makes up almost 70% of your body; every aspect of your body’s functioning depends on it. Therefore, what could be more natural in giving you life and healing? Consider the following ailments:
#1 Headaches
Your first instinct when your head is throbbing is to grab the nearest pain medication. Often a headache is your brain rationing water when you lack it, producing histamines. What seems counter-intuitive, pain medications (i.e. antihistamines) are merely telling your brain to “shut up”, not to mention producing side-effects. A glass of healthy water can relieve pain faster and cheaper.

7 Reasons For Drinking Water Regularly
Let’s face it, to say that drinking water is essential for life is a great understatement! Since water constitutes 60-70% of our body, surely it must do more than quench our thirst or refresh us after a hot day. There are more important, yet subtle reasons for pouring yourself another glass soon.
Nervous System
The body’s nervous system is, in short, a large series of water canals; its efficiency largely depends on how much of and the purity of what goes through it. Synthetic chemicals and other contaminants can literally block and distort nerve signals. Without water, signals are not carried as well to the brain. Doctors are now beginning to theorize that such is a cause for various disorders and diseases, such as ADD, anxiety, depression, and even Alzheimer’s disease.

The Truth About Bottled Water – What Are You Buying?
It’s unbelievable how the bottled water fad has invaded the beverage mainstream and conquered most water fountains. Most of us are willing to spend over a dollar just to have pure, clean water; after all, water is essential for life and health. However, like many you might be asking “Is it really worth it?” I certainly have.
I was shocked to learn that the regulations for bottled water are less stringent than that from public taps. In fact, the FDA has limited power in validating and regulating the quality of these beverages. While some states and local jurisdictions have required reports and certifications (such as California), water companies often merely restrict their beverages within the borders. Worst yet, there are no federal laws prohibiting the presence of bacteria within these bottled drinks, unlike tap water. According to a four-year case study by the NRDC, having tested 1,000 bottles from 103 brands, it was found that a great deal of them contained bacteria and various contaminants.
