An average human body requires two litres of filtered water every day. Imagine the number of impurities that would go inside our bodies if we keep consuming impure water for a long time. So, it is the need of the hour to spread awareness about the health benefits of filtered water. Read further to know them.
REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS
As mentioned above, tap water is usually replete with a lot of heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury. The accumulation of these metals over a prolonged period of consumption can severely affect the metabolism of one’s body. In residential areas, people do not care about this possible effect even though they are aware of the presence of metal in their drinking water. Scientific studies prove that exposure to lead since childhood can even lead to ASD. Therefore, consumption of lead even in smaller quantities can be problematic. Consuming filtered water would significantly reduce the presence of such harmful substances in water and hence keep health hazards at bay.
KEEPS THE SKIN HEALTHY
Most of us are unaware of the positive influence that filtered water has on one’s skincare routine. Shower water is not the only factor that influences one’s skin conditions. Since the water that comes out of the filter does not contain too many harmful chemicals, the human body can easily process it and keep one’s skin hydrated. Besides, softening shower water using a filter can enhance its texture and thus help maintain the right amount of moisture in the skin.
IMPROVES DIGESTION
The enhanced mechanism of the water filter ensures that the water which comes out of it is rich with vital minerals that will aid in digestion. With enhanced hydration, the human body can effectively transport minerals and nutrients to all the part of the digestive system. Equal and efficient transportation of nutrients facilitates the easy processing of soluble fibre.
DRINK HEALTHIER SMOOTHIES
Filtered water is the ideal option for those who are worried about calories. People use filtered water as the base for smoothies instead of yogurt, fruit pulp, or milk with an eye towards reducing calorie consumption. This has other benefits as well. Since filtered water contains only very less chemicals, it can accelerate digestion and reduce chances of acid reflux. Hence, shifting to smoothies that are made using filtered water would mean you get to have tastier and healthier smoothies.
FREES WATER FROM ORGANIC POLLUTANTS
Apart from heavy metals like lead and mercury, public water supply systems also contain organic pollutants like drugs, pesticides, and hormones. As a result, such harmful substances enter our bodies and affect the process of digestion. Although sanitization stations try to eliminate these substances from water, at least 25% of these compounds remain unseparated. Filtering your water will only ensure the proper removal of such harmful pollutants.
