Home Water Purification – Why am I doing this?

I’m researching home water purification because clean water is such a fundamental and often overlooked requirement for good health. As I research this topic, I’m becoming convinced that each of us needs to look carefully at the water we use every day for drinking, cooking, and bathing. I’m sure you’ve all heard that a person can survive a month or more without food but no more than a few days without water. You’ve no doubt also heard that our bodies are mostly made of water. When you take these two facts into account, it follows that the quality of your drinking water has a direct influence on the state of your health. Obviously,there’s no way to avoid contact with harmful substances in our environment. It’s just an unfortunate part of modern reality and to make yourself paranoid trying to do so is probably going to be worse for you in the long run than drinking iffy tap water, or chain-smoking, or a steady diet of trans-fats, or living in a polluted city, etc… However, when we are conscious of what we choose to put into our bodies, it empowers us just a little more. One way of doing this is by implementing a high quality system of home water purification.
