We often call the earth "The Planet of Water"
Roughly 70% of its surface is covered with water. All living things on the planet rely on water for survival. We need to drink lots of water, but unfortunately most of the drinking water available to us is simply not healthy anymore. In some cases, our drinking water is dangerous to our health.
Interesting Information on Water
* One glass of water shuts down midnight huner pangs for almost 100% of the dieters - a university study
* Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%
* One is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer by drinking at least 5 glasses of water.
* Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
Tap Water
How do you feel about drinking 8 glasses of tap water each day? Chlorination makes tap water safe to drink but it can also react with organic compounds inside your body to produce toxic substances, especially in your colon. Small amounts of chlorine are added to our public drinking water supply to kill bacteria and other microorganisms. This amount of chlorine is small enough for us to drink but it can still kill bacteria and enzymes in our body essential to digestion.
During a shower, our bodies absorb roughly 2 glasses of this chlorinated water through our skin. We also inhale the mist and steam of this water while we shower. Nearly all tap water supplies contain large amounts of active oxygen (oxidants) and high positive ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) values. Having a high POSITIVE ORP means that tap water can be very oxidizing, or destructive to your body.
Purified Water Distilled Water and Reverse Osmosis
Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapor condensed. It is free of dissolved minerals and contaminants (pure H2O). It is a great cleansing agent and absorbs toxic substances. It is an active absorber - e.g. CO2 from air, making it acidic. Reverse osmosis is a filtration process typically used for water. It works by using pressure to force a solution through a membrane, retaining the solute on one side and allowing the pure solvent to pass to the other side. Reverse osmosis is not quite as a pure H2O as Distilled but it is the closest to distilled from (quasi-distilled water).
Distilled water and water purified by reverse osmosis may not have most pollutants and additives found in tap water, but it also lacks any minerals naturally found earth's water that are essential to our well being. These processes remove EVERYTHING from the water, including helpful minerals.
Since this water contains no minerals or life whatsoever, it leaches vital minerals and alkaline buffers from our bodies. Distilled water and reverse osmosis water have no energy or vitality at all and can contribute to an acidic state in our bodies.
("Almost without exception, people who consume distilled water exclusively, eventually develop multiple mineral deficiencies. Those who supplement their distilled water intake with trace minerals are not as deficient but still not as adequately nourished in minerals as their non-distilled water drinking conunterparts even after several years of mineral supplementation. The ideal water for the human body should be alkaline and this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Distilled water tends to be acidic and can only be recommended as a way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of distilled water is a bad idea." Dr. Zoltan P. Rona through his finding after over 3,000 mineral evaluations using a combination of blood, urine and hair tests in his practice.)
Bottled Water (Including "Mineral Water")
You might think that bottled water is healthier than tap water. But they are usually Glorified Tap Water. In a four-year scientific study, The NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands, a third of them were found to contain contaminants such as arsenic and carcinogens in levels exceeding state or industry standards.
Recently, another shocking study showed that over time cancer-causing toxins such as dioxin leach into the water from the plastic bottle. Actually, a lot of the bottled "spring" waters are just filtered tap water put in a plastic bottle. These bottles often remain on store and factory shelves, unopened for months or even years.
Bottled water is essentially dead water. If you choose your water based on the package or the brand, you should know that some 95% of the price you are paying for that bottled water is covering other costs, such as packaging, advertising, distribution costs, rather than the water itself.
Yet, bottled water is so popular and available almost everywhere. As a result, the bottled water industry enjoys annual sales of more than $3.5 billion worldwide. 15 years ago people wouldn't spend $3-$5 per day on bottled water; these days they do.
("No one should think that bottled water is better regulated, better protected or safer than tap" Eric Goldstein, co-director of the urban program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, a nonorofit organization devoted to protecting health and the environment.)
Alkaline Ionized Water
Alkaline ionized water is produced by an in-home machine that first filters and then ionizes tap water. This process splits the water into its alkaline and acidic parts. The alkaline water is used for drinking. It has tremendous hydrating and antioxidant qualities, due in part to its smaller water clusters and abundance of extra electrons created by 
the ionization process. These machines cost $4,000.
