Humans are edging towards a world where the need to create for ourselves, a better way of living within our own environment is essential. We are becoming a concession of how we consume, what we eat, where it comes from and where it's going. According to Medical News Today “Most of the human body is water, with an average of roughly 60%.” As it is equally important to eat cleanly, it is also equally important, to consume our water cleanly too.
Unfiltered water contains chemicals like chlorine, as well has a whole range of heavy metals like, lead, fluoride, mercury, herbicides, pesticides to name a few. Chlorine is used to disinfect water, is helps to reduce the risk of any waterborne disease like, salmonellosis and cholera. However, having chlorine active within our drinking water brings with it several health problems like, cancers and respiratory issues. Fluoride, which is found in eighty percent of Australian drinking water has been used since the 1950’s. According to waterwaysproducts.com.au, “Many countries including Australia, choose to fluorinate drinking water due to the belief it acts like a repair kit for teeth.” Fluoride is a neurotoxin which can damage the brain reducing overall intelligence, even reducing IQ of pregnant women’s offspring. The list of issues that are associated with these chemicals are endless, yet we cannot escape our need to drink water, it is essential to our human existence.
