Bottled Water a Big No No for Detoxers
Drinking clean water is an important part of detoxing both with a detox diet and for living a more detoxifying lifestyle. Many detoxers believe that bottled water is a good choice over tap water to get their daily intake.
They believe that bottled water is a pure product taken from an abundant source and put in a clean container. However this is often not the case. In fact, we may actually be making things harder for struggling bodies to detoxify.
A four-year study tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands of bottled water and concluded that about one-third of the waters tested contained levels of contamination – including synthetic organic chemicals, bacteria, and arsenic, and that bottled water “is not cleaner or safer than most tap water.
Aquafina and Dasani are the two biggest brands of bottled water. They are owned by pepsi and coke respectively. These companies use their soda bottling plants to access publicly built, maintained, and funded water systems, and then turn your tax dollars for profit. In both cases and most other bottled water companies it is no more than tap water taken from municipal supplies that you are drinking.
Even if you arent ready to believe that, look at it this way there are also far more cost effective alternatives. Specially designed water filtration systems are cheap these days. You would actually end up spending alot less, and you would get water that will keep you detoxed for life!
How much would you save? Well think of this way. Home water filtration systems cost between $150 for a tap system, too about $1000 to filter your entire home. It costs from 240 to over 10,000 times more to buy a gallon of bottled water vs. gallon of average tap water. You don’t even have to do the math to realize how much cheaper tap water is. Within a week to a month your home filtration system will have payed for itself.
Finally, if your a big picture detoxier you cares about the long term and the environment around you, after all every day spent in a toxic loaded environment is worse for our bodies. So just think of about the toxic chemicals and fossil fuel runoff of the biggest throwaway item there is, plastic water bottles!
All this means only one thing for you my detoxifying friend. If you want to detox, do yourself a big favor and buy a home filtration system. I would really recommend it.
