The whole point of water fasting is to heal your body so it important to understand that this means you need good water. What is good water? Good water is free from chemicals and additives. The best way to ensure that you have a good, clean source is to make a small investment into some type of filter. That could be a Brita filter, a countertop gravity filter such as a Berkey, or a Multipure under counter filter. I have a Propur, a Multipure, and a LeveLuk.
THE LAST THING THAT YOU WANT TO DO IS DRINK PLASTIC WATER!
Plastic is always a no-no and especially when you are doing a water fast! Yes, I know, it is easy to just pick up some bottles at the store and start chugging but did you know that there are hundreds of thousands of chemicals in bottled water?! Just ask the NIH. This happens because the companies who produce them have to watch their bottom line.
- There is no gas-off time for the newly made bottles
- They are filled immediately to be shipped out
- The bottles then sit in warehouses waiting for orders
- Once received, bottles are sometimes put into store windows exposed to sunlight
Varying temperatures cause more of the chemicals from the bottles to leach into the water. The worst thing to do is to leave a bottle directly in sunlight or to freeze it. Have you noticed the bottles getting thinner as well? Companies are cutting costs at the expense of your health. This creates even more problems with the leaching.
A Good Water Bottle – Your Health is Worth the Investment
I have a few good bottles to bring with me wherever I go. Some are stainless steel like the Hydro Flask. My favorite bottle is from Hawaii – cool right?! It is from Blue Bottle Love. The company imports the glass bottles from Italy and then engraves them with a variety of designs. They are very Eco-conscious which makes me happy to buy from them.
If you ever see me around town I am most likely carrying this bottle with me. It is twenty-five ounces and helps me to get my healthy hydration for the day. I always take it full into the sauna with me. š
Full of What?!
Good water of course! I did make another rather large investment into my health with a Kangen Machine. This baby puts out high-alkaline water loaded with hydrogen. You know those Smart bottles at the store? Not so smart! You are paying a lot of money for H2O that is dosed with baking soda and chemicals.
Okay, I’ll Get Off of My Soapbox
I just wanted to let you know about the importance of water. You are what you drink and I am drinking healthy and clean as I am in my fourth day of a five-day water fast! Tomorrow at 12:30 pm I will be starting my fifth! Wish me luck.
