Water
Water is the most important substance in the world
Drinking plenty of water on a daily basis is vital to our health. Water carries nutrients to cells, helps with digestion, flushes out toxins, helps prevent headache and fatigue, and can even aid in weight loss or maintenance. Our bodies are up to 75% water, and staying well-hydrated is critical to our optimum health and survival.
However, not all water is created equal!
Tap Water
- Municipal water, subject to strict regulations
- Treated with chlorine
- May contain sediment and have a stale taste
- Contains varying amount of minerals, depending on area
With an Enagic Kangen Water machine, your tap water will not only become delicious by filtering unwanted sediment and residues, it will also gain the beneficial property of being rich in molecular hydrogen, a potent anti-oxidant!
Bottled Water
According to the National Geographic1, "Bottled water is a drain on the environment: The U.S. public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled. Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fossil fuels, which give off greenhouse gases."
1500 plastic bottles are consumed every second. Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth four times. And, it will take 1000 years for the plastic to degrade.2
It's not proven to be any safer than tap water.
🧪 Microplastics in Bottled Water
Scientific studies have repeatedly found microplastics in commercially sold bottled water:
- Widespread Contamination: Researchers detected microplastic particles in the majority of bottled water tested — across multiple brands and countries.
- Quantities Found: New high-resolution tests found that a typical liter of bottled water may contain hundreds of thousands of plastic particles, including nanoplastics that are too small to see.
- Comparison to Tap Water: Many studies show bottled water can contain more microplastics than municipal tap water, although both sources are affected.
