A Fresh Approach to Drinking Water

The water we drink has five main functions in our bodies; it is a lubricant, a solvent, a transportant, a coolant and a dispersant. It lubricates our joints, dissolves our foods, transports our blood and disperses our waste. With all these functions, shouldn’t it start out as pure as possible?
H2Only works for people whose drinking and cooking water is a major concern and who are constantly trying to improve their quality of life. H2Only is packaged in environmentally friendly plastics that are easily recyclable and guaranteed not to leach into their contents. It is produced using reverse osmosis, among other processes, to obtain the level of purity required by the human body at an ecological cost far below that of purchasing “mineral” water packaged in disposable containers.H2Only provides you with a bacteriologically sterile, purified drinking water with a great taste at incredibly good value.Source water is treated by a seven-stage process of purification and sterilisation including reverse osmosis in accordance with the practices of the International Bottled Water Association.Returnable, environment friendly, “plastic- glass” containers sit on a porcelain dispenser or cooler which gives fast flowing water at the push of a button on a non-drip tap.

H2Only vs Mineral Water
The most reliable source of water is H2Only Purified Water because it rapidly leaves the digestive tract to enter the tissues where it is needed the most. These days, clean water is a scarce commodity. Most of us pay more attention to the type and quality of foods we eat and are careless about the quality of water we consume. Countless experts have stated that, the purer the water we drink, the better it performs its functions in our body. As for the advocates of mineral water all we can say is if anyone believes that our bodies get the minerals we need from mineral water then take a look at two minerals as examples? Iron and Phosphorous. The recommended daily allowance for iron is 14mg and its maximum allowable level in water is 0.2 mg/litre, which means that in order for the human body to obtain this minimum quantity of iron from water we would need to drink 70 litres per day.

Is alkaline water better for you than plain water?

The health claims about alkaline water are more about sales than science. There isn’t much research to support them.

Also, your body, on its own, can keep your pH levels at an even keel. Your kidneys are your built-in filtration system. It’s their job to balance the acid levels in your body. If your blood gets too acidic, your body brings it down by breathing out more carbon dioxide.

Your stomach is the great equalizer. Your gastric juices — a combination of digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid — neutralize everything you eat and drink. Basically, your stomach will re-acidify alkaline water before it can do anything the health claims promise.

Unless you have a kidney disease, alkaline water doesn’t pose any serious health risks. The high pH could make your skin dry and itchy or cause an upset stomach, but that’s about all.

Just because it’s safe, though, doesn’t mean it does anything for you. For all the benefits of a tall glass of water, fill up with H2Only!
