Yes, you heard right. Lemonade. Made to the proper recipe, this refreshing drink can help you to lose weight and also detox your body at the same time. Also called the lemonade diet cleanse, and used by celebrities such as Beyonce to shed a pound or two, it was created by naturopath Stanley Borroughs. Borroughs realised that everyone has a certain amount of undigested waste in their body, which could cause illnesses. Cleansing, he discovered, was the answer to the problem.

For one glass you need two tablespoons of fresh, organic lemon juice, two tablespoons of good quality maple syrup, a pinch of cayenne pepper and one and a half cups of filtered water. Just mix all the ingredients in a glass. There is no need for a juicer, as you can simply cut the lemons in half and squeeze them. Other healthy juices can be made with water and fruit, and there are plenty of recipes to be found in books and on the internet. But, if you wish to diet seriously, you should always seek out detailed advice before you begin.

Without going the whole hog, you can be sure the Water Filter in our system will provide you with a perfectly healthy alternative to water straight from the tap.

Depending on the nature of tap water in your area, you may want to ask your baby’s healthcare provider for recommendations on the use of water, especially if there are any health concerns. When mixing powdered or concentrated baby formula, The American Dental Association recommends not using water that contains high levels of fluoride. Too much fluoride puts your baby at risk for enamel fluorosis, a condition that develops while the teeth are forming. While not a disease, fluorosis can result in faint white lines or white spots or areas on the permanent teeth.

Many public water supplies are fluoridated or contain substantial natural fluoride. Boiling tap water or well water does not ensure nitrates or other impurities are removed – and boiling water more than once, or for too long can actually increase the concentration of impurities. However, whichever type of water you use, you should always boil the water first. Once the water is bubbling, you should boil it for around one minute only, and always allow it to cool a while before mixing it with the formula.

At the end of the day, you will have the extra reassurance of knowing that water passed through our water filter cartridge will remove the major contaminants that can be present in unfiltered water.

Recent studies claim that that, while bottled water is fairly healthy, it is not as healthy as filtered water. In some states of the USA the regulations for bottled water are equal to that of tap water.  Storing bottled water for long period of times can also cause certain chemicals from the plastic (such as phthalates, added to plastic bottles to increase their flexibility) to leach into the water. In addition, the cost savings of filtering your own water vs. buying bottled water is enormous.  In the USA, for example, the average bottle of water cost $1 ­to $2 for a 16oz bottle. By contrast, the average cost for 100 gallons of filtered water is 11cents – a huge saving.  Owning a filter also saves the environment from unnecessary plastic bottles in the landfill, as it is believed that 80 per cent of plastic bottles end up in landfills.

When you think about it, our environment, the land, our rivers and seas are becoming more and more contaminated with manmade pollutants, so the more we take care of our environment, and how we process what we take from it, the better. Investing in a water filter is valuable all round, therefore, for the environment, your health, and your wallet.

In the 17th century Anton Van Leeuwenhoek radically improved the microscope with higher resolution lenses. He could now see and describe the teeming life in a single drop of water. In mid-19th century London, where diseases was rife because of the tight quarters of the working class, city officials began to link the spread of cholera to poor drinking water quality. In areas where sand water filters had been installed, outbreaks had greatly decreased. While studying the epidemics in municipal areas of England, British scientist John Snow noticed that regions using sand filtered water tended toward fewer cholera cases. He traced one outbreak to a water pump that had been contaminated by sewage. Ironically the pump was known to produce good tasting water, finally dismissing the belief that if water tasted good it had to be pure. Snow used chlorine to kill the cholera bacteria in the water, leading to the rise of water chlorination as an effective disinfection process.

In recent years, though, questions have been raised as to how pure municipal water is, since it contains minerals and chlorine that may not be entirely beneficial. Nowadays people who have any concerns can take matters into their own hands, by treating the water themselves – especially easy to do with our advanced water filters.

If you want to make sure you and your family drinks good, clean water, install water filters today – you can never be too cautious, especially when you fight against hidden dangers such as the odourless PCE for instance.

If you live in an industrial region, or one with a heavy traffic, you should also think about the quality of your drinking water affected by the dirty air. Get water filters for your home and avoid the unnecessary consumption of pollutants.

Filters are only some of the precautions people can take against perfluorochemicals, or PFC as they are more commonly called. This is a new chemical and the studies on it are not very extensive yet, but the scientists are getting into that. It turns out this new chemical is found almost everywhere – in the air, in the underground water, in peoples blood. In 2001 the Michigan State University research found out that PFC was part of the blood profile of more than 400 different animals in the region. Then another study has been conducted, but this time it involved people. They had a very high concentration of this chemical in their blood as well. PFC can lead to cancer. It is not yet discovered how it travels and how it gets as far as it does, but scientist are suspicious that it moves around easily and is all over the place. Here is where PFC chemical can be found – non stick cookware, your nail polish, lotion, shaving cream, makeup, and powder if they have “perfluoro” or “fluoro” on the label. You can find it in the packaging of fast food like pizza boxes or French fries containers, the popcorn bags you put in the microwave also have it.

Install a water filter in your house and make sure you do not consume yet another chemical through your water as well.

If you have stopped boiling water and decided to go with the regular water for your kids, you might want to consider filtered water. It is way better than bottled water. First of all if you know that the water supply in your area is good, all you need is a filer, because buying bottled water is pointless. The filter will eliminate what needs to be out of the water, since it has been disinfected already at the times it reaches you, so you can get rid of the chlorine taste and odour for example. It will be no different from the bottled water, and in some case even better, because you do not really know if the spring where it was bottled was not contaminated. Second of all, you will get rid of all that plastic clutter if you choose the filtered water. You will save yourself space and countless trips to the garbage disposal room or the containers outside. And if you are recycling, you will need a separate container for the bottles in your house! The filter will make all that go away. Choose to give your children filtered water, because it is safe, tastes great and will save you money, time and space.

Check our water filters, choose the one you like the most and place your order.

Take some time to think about how many people around the world live and imagine their hardship. Get involved in a charity and help these people have at least one water filter cartridge in their household!
