Did you know the human body is made up of around 60% water? It should then be no surprise that the recommend amount of water the average person should consume daily is around 3.2 liters (13.5 cups) a day.
Water is one of the most important parts of human life and many of us do not consume nearly enough of it. Understanding the health benefits of drinking water, learning about how you can get clean drinking water right from the faucet at home, and figuring out creative ways to help you consume more water are all important steps in helping you reach your daily hydration objectives.
Drinking enough water has numerous benefits for the human body like helping to regulate body temperature and assisting in the transportation of nutrients. Even your brain knows when you are short on water and will initiate the “thirst” mechanism. If your brain tells you that you are thirsty…listen to it! Below are some other health benefits of staying properly hydrated.
If you find that you and your family are not drinking enough water, there are easy solutions to increase your intake. The easiest way to reach your daily water goal is by drinking more water at home. However, the water quality in your house may not necessarily entice you to fill your water bottle or glass from the kitchen tap. Instead of resorting to buying cases of pricey bottled water from the store, consider installing a reverse osmosis drinking water system in your home. Reverse osmosis (RO) is a multi-stage water treatment process in which pressure forces molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. The water moves from the side more concentrated with contaminant to the less concentrated side, leaving behind the impurities that contribute towards taste and odor problems. The result of this is purified drinking water.
During the first stage in a reverse osmosis drinking water system, water moves along through a carbon block filter to remove some of the larger sediments and particles while also reducing chlorine. After that, it moves in through the semi-permeable membrane which will capture unwanted contaminants like lead, arsenic, nitrates, chromium, total dissolved solids (TDS) and fluoride to name a few. Next, the water is filtered by another carbon filter for any remaining taste or odor issues and it finally travels to a storage tank so you have a large supply of freshly filtered water ready to go whenever you need it.
These RO systems are convenient long-term drinking water solutions and can be installed underneath your kitchen sink so you can have clean, fresh drinking water right from your tap. The Evolve Series UltroWater® RO system is a great solution if you are looking for an easy way to increase your families water consumption.
