Healthy living: Select the right water filter and drink to your health with Aquasana

by Stepy — July 31, 2012

Healthy Living is a life style. It is about the environment you live in, the hair and skin care you use, the food you eat and water you drink.
Water is life and we often take it for granted.
Take a healthy step: Show your love for your family and our planet too by selecting the right water filter.
Facts:
Did you know that people in the U.S. throw away more than 2 million plastic bottles per hour, and 80% of those bottles end up in landfills and our oceans.
In 2010, the Presidents Cancer Council recommended to filter water as one of the top three recommendations to reduce environmentally caused cancers.
Our body is made of 70% of water.
How about trying to eliminate the use of plastic bottles and get the healthy benefits of filtered water at the same time?
With these goals in mind, we conducted some research and tested several water filters and systems. We liked Aquasana’s filters the best.
Aquasana offers a full line of water filter products for the home, from countertop and under counter drinking water filters, shower filters, Powered Water Filtration System, to whole house filtration systems for city or well water.
Please keep in mind that only 91 contaminants are regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act, yet more than 60,000 chemicals are used within the U.S.
A good water filter like Aquasana’s can strip out more than 99% of the chlorine, lead, herbicides, industrial solvents and cysts found in tap water while preserving its healthiest elements, which include calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Which filter is right for you? We did the work for you.
1. A shower filter:
Promotes softer skin and healthier hair. As Chlorine strips skin and hair of its natural oils. Chlorine is found in the tap water we use every day.
A shower filter is very important for young children as they are susceptible to breathing disorders and skin conditions such as asthma and eczema, which can be exacerbated by the chlorine in bath water.
2. Kitchen drinking filter:
This is a must in every home and is key to optimal health.
It reduces chemicals and contaminants, odor and improves the taste of tap water yet preserves its healthiest minerals which are vital for growth and overall health and wellness. Traditional filtration products, like pitchers, are not enough as they only filter basic contaminants from water.
3. Whole water system like the Rhino EQ-300:
If you live in a single home this system is ideal.
You will get the benefits of healthier, better tasting drinking water and shower water from every faucet in your home. Since pollutants in water differ based on location and water supply, Aquasana recommends you have your water tested first, so a system can be customized to your needs.
NOTE: A shower filter can be used if you have well water, but is not necessary if a whole house system is in place.
A kitchen filter is recommended as an addition to be 100% safe about the water you drink.
Aquasana’s environmental and healthy approach must be highlighted:
Their drinking water replacement filters are not encased in plastic, so when you recycle your filters, it is mostly just carbon.
As Aquasana’s CEO states “we all like to know where our food comes from, and how it has been treated and/or raised – whether it is non-GMO or organic. We recommend applying the same diligence to your water. You are what you drink as much as you are what you eat“.
Give these systems a try and control what you drink. Discover how delicious healthy water can be. You will be one step closer to reaching your “healthy” living goals.
