You're thirsty after working in the sun on a hot Saturday
afternoon. You head to the kitchen and pour yourself a cool glass
of water and gulp it back greedily. The immediate effect is to cool
you down, quench your thirst, and re-hydrate your body.

But did you give any thought to what its doing to your body? It's
true that doctors suggest we drink 8 glasses of water a day, but if
you don't drink the right kind of water, it can have a harmful effect
on you!

Wait a minute, you say: "The right kind of water" How many
kinds of water are there?

The reply is: several! Water is not just a colorless liquid that
quenches our parched tongues. Water is a necessary part of life
and not just for keeping us hydrated. Most individuals don't know that
water contains other properties that allow you to live a healthy
life:

1..Your water is supposed to deliver essential nutrients and
minerals needed to live. For example, calcium, magnesium,
potassium and trace elements -- which doctors recommend we
take in -- can be found in some drinking waters, but not all. Are
you spending an arm and a leg on supplements to ensure youre
getting these minerals when instead you can get them simply and
cheaply by drinking the right kind of water?

2. Your water should assist balance out the acidic state of your
body. Simply put, our bodies' tissues produce waste that is acid in
nature. When these acid wastes accumulate --because of
pollutants, modern diet and stress -- our tissues slowly
deteriorate. Chronic diseases such as cancer,arthritis, diabetes
and osteoporosis are associated with this acid condition. Water
should assist balance out our acidic state by being alkaline.

3. Like a natural stream, your water should have antioxidant
properties. Oxidization hastens cell breakdown, while foods with
antioxidant properties prevent it. You don't need anyone to tell
you that you want a body that generates cells, not destroys them!

4. Your water should be free of contaminants. Many individuals are
shocked to learn that there can be over 2000 contaminants in an
ordinary glass of tap water.

So aside from quenching your thirst, water should also be full of
minerals, be alkaline, and be antioxidant. But did you know that
most water is exactly the opposite? And did you know that waters
from many water purifier systems fail these basic requirements?

It's true. People purchase water purification systems thinking that they
will successfully filter out the "bad stuff" and hold the "good
stuff"in water. Unfortunately, many systems, even the expensive
ones, either do an inadequate job of filtering out the "bad stuff" or
they filter out everything-- both worthy and bad. In fact, there are
filtration systems for which individuals pay top dollar, that doctors
recommend you don't drink from on a long term basis -- because
they can make your body even more acidic!

But before you completely swear off water, know this: it's not all
bad news. There are excellent purification systems that do a worthy
job of creating healthy, alkaline water with as much antioxidant
property as a glass of orange juice!

Protect the health of your family. Before believing the advertising
claims of any system, and before spending a fortune on bottled
water, really compare the choices in home purification systems.
Find out:

1. How do the health benefits of each system compare?
(contamination,acidity, antioxidant,minerals)

2. What's the taste like? If you don't love the taste, you won't
drink enough water.

3. How much will it actually cost me?
