Fresh, Clean Water is Essential! By: Dr. Carol Forman Helerstein, Ph. D.
Our bodies consist of between 50% to 70% water. Our brains are over 75% water, our blood, 80%. The main filter of the body, the liver, is 96% water. Water is involved in so many cellular functions. Our very survival is associated with proper hydration. Even our nervous system, which sends electrical signals to all our cells is made up of tiny waterways.
The digestive system requires water to both digest food and absorb nutrients from food. Dehydration causes the heart to pump harder in order to get blood to carry oxygen to the tissues of the body. Studies show that even a small reduction in body fluids can cause a significant drop in energy levels. Because water is so essential to health, the purity of the water we consume is equally important.
One of my favorite products to assure that you can drink pure, delicious water, no matter where you are, is GBG’s Global Pure Water Bottle. This incredible filtration system removes heavy metal pollutants such as lead, copper and mercury, and eliminates microbiological pathogens and organisms. It gets rid of unpleasant tastes and odors. I appreciate the technology behind the product and the fact that it has been independently tested.
Proper hydration is so important to good health. Global Pure helps us to accomplish that goal and saves us money too. We get the equivalent of 800 water bottles from one filter, saving the environment and our landfills from plastic water bottles. It really is a “win/win” situation.
