Best Water to DrinkWednesday, 27 Aug 2014 04:12 PM
Based on my studies, the best way to purify water is to
distill it.
Distilled water is prepared by boiling the water and then
condensing the steam. This removes all contaminants but the
volatile gases, which need to be removed by carbon
filtration. Minerals can be added back to the water.
Some will say that distilling water removes the beneficial
minerals, but these can either be taken as separate
supplements or can be added to water later. And that, in
fact, is what many manufacturers of bottled water do.
Distilling creates water with a neutral pH, kills all
microorganisms even viruses, and removes fluoride as well as
other harmful metals. The one problem is the volatile
chemicals, which are condensed in the final water container.
The better distillers have a carbon filter to remove these
volatile gases during the condensation process.
Other ways to filter water include reverse osmosis, ceramic
filtration, silver impregnated filters, and multilayered
filter systems, all of which have their advantages.
The big problem with most filters is that they do not remove
fluoride. The reverse osmosis filters remove fluoride but
they have to be changed every three months because the
fluoride burns holes in the filter. There are people, mostly
from the American Dental Association, who are campaigning to
have fluoride added to all bottled water, despite clear
evidence that fluoridating drinking water not only fails to
prevent cavities but actually ruins the teeth, a condition
called dental fluorosis.
Most physicians have observed that adults, the elderly in
particular, do not drink enough water. This can lead to a
number of problems, including a higher risk of kidney
disease and a greater risk of sudden heart attacks or
strokes.
When you are dehydrated, the blood is sluggish and tends to
clog the microscopic vessels in the organs, especially the
brain. It also makes the blood more likely to clot, which is
what happens with both a heart attack and a stroke. The
elderly avoid drinking water, especially in the evening,
because they want to avoid late night trips to the bathroom.
This is a very bad and dangerous practice.
Many strokes are silent and can occur repeatedly without
outward signs, except for a gradual loss of mental abilities
and memory. These “mini strokes” involve the small blood
vessels in the brain, the very ones that fall victim to
dehydration.
