Why Water is the Best Drink?

Water is the most important component in most of the body of living beings, some organisms have up to 90% of their body weight coming from water, humans have up to 60%. The Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, tells us that the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs about 83%. Based on that, it is evident that we need to consume a certain amount of water to survive, this amount can vary according to age and gender.

Generally, an adult male needs about 3 liters per day, while an adult female needs about 2.2 liters.

Here are some essential functions that come from water:

  • A vital nutrient to the life of every cell acts first as a building material.
  • It regulates our internal body temperature by sweating and respiration.
  • The carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream;
  • It assists in flushing waste mainly through urination
  • Acts as a shock absorber for brain, spinal cord, and fetus
  • Forms saliva
  • Lubricates joints

So, summing up, there would not be living beings existence without an ample potable water supply on earth.

What is the healthiest water to drink?

When we are talking about water, different types of procedures can make water suitable for consumption. You can drink it from the tap, put it on the market or even install a filter pitcher at your home. The water that has been purified, passed through a process to remove impurities. The base water used is tap water or groundwater. After the purification, bacteria, algae, fungi, parasites, chemical pollutants, metals like copper and lead are all removed, making it safe for consumption.

What are the advantages of drinking pure water?

Tap water is safe for consumption in many areas, but the legislation still allows it to contain traces of some contaminants. The EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) approves water with over 90 contaminants for drinking. And the states also get the ability to control their water, it just has to fit the 90 contaminants pattern. The filters used to purify water can remove metals, chemicals like chlorine (this chemical commonly is added to the public water as a disinfectant). Another benefit of purified water is that those treatments can help remove unlikeable tastes and smells, so you get pure-tasting water. Some researches have associated drinking purified water with better stomach and intestinal health, and also decreased the risk of cancers, including the colorectal one.

Is it better to drink distilled or purified water?

Distilled Water is also a type of Purified Water. The Distillation occurs by boiling the water and collecting the steam, that returns to the water after cooling. This process’s very effective and removes all sorts of impurities like bacterias, viruses, pesticides, protozoa and chemicals like lead and sulfate The Distilled water is exceptionally pure and is commonly used for medical purposes, it can be indicated for people with a weakened immune system, like those with HIV/AIDS. Although this type of water it’s very pure, the process ends up removing all the minerals and electrolytes too, the ones that are necessary and good for our body, like calcium, magnesium. The distillation removes around 99,9% of all minerals found in tap water, this can harm human health since most people get a high level of nutrients through water. Drinking distilled water has been associated with a high risk of fracture, preterm birth, and heart disease.
