WATER....if only I had thought of putting it in bottles!

Back in 1984 when I was going to a nutritionist for my MS I began carrying around my distilled water in canning jars. I had been drinking distilled water since 1979. To be sure of my drinking throughout the day to stay hydrated the only choice in jars I had at that time were canning jars. Only if I had thought to promote bottling it in plastics I would be a very wealthy woman right about now!
I had chose to change to the distilled water because at a health expo in Pittsburgh I heard a speaker say that the body's water content was the most similar to distilled. The human body is composed of about 70% water. My feelings for drinking the water at the time was to try to keep my skin soft and supple and hopefully free of wrinkles as I aged. I learned at the expo that water is important for nearly every process of our body. From digestion to circulation, excretion, and absorbing. It helps us maintain a normal body temperature. We are continually losing water through sweating and elimination so we need to constantly be replacing it. So many do not do so. The body can survive much longer without food than it can without water.
Is tap water safe? Tap water is generally obtained from surface waters. That is water collected in reservoirs or water which has been filtered through the ground to the water table and extracted by means of a well. Most assume that their tap water is safe.
Whatever the source of your water it is good to know warning signs of bad water. Watch out for cloudiness. Chlorination causes some cloudiness that will usually clear if the water is left to stand. Bacterial or sedimentary cloudiness will remain. Foaming means some sort of bacterial contamination. You can destroy the bacteria by boiling the water for 5 minutes and letting stand for several hours. This way the sediment will settle. Strange smells or taste could mean chemical contamination.
Can we trust the water we drink? Be it from a well, city supplier, bottled, tap, mineral, springs, or steam-distilled. In this day and age what can we trust exactly? I do not have the answers. With all the pollution and unsafe particles in the world is any thing really safe for you any more? I don't have the answer for you, but I do know that you need to drink water to keep your body functioning. So the choice is up to you. You have many choices these days to choose from. If only it could be simple like God had planned it for us. Pure & Simple.......We as humans are killing ourselves even down to the water we drink....nothing is pure and good for us anymore. Sad isn't it?
