Is Bottled Water Answer?Nothing is more important to our health than drinking lots of pure water. All of complex biochemical functions in our bodies depend on this key substance. Along with regulating many micro-processes in our cells, it's essential in absorbing and transporting all nutrients and oxygen throughout body. It's equally critical in eliminating wastes and toxins from body. At a time when we are exposed to increasing levels of environmental toxins from our food, air, and water, conventional wisdom to "drink 6 to 8 glasses of clean water per day for optimum health" is more important than ever before.
Unfortunately, as most people now know, most sources of drinking water are also contaminated with a wide variety of toxins. As a result, increasing numbers of people are now using water filters and are spending large sums of money annually on bottled water.
It is not so widely known, however, that an FDA survey has stated that 31% of 52 brands of bottled water tested were tainted with bacteria. Similarly, a study conducted by National Resources Defense Council on 103 brands of bottled water found that about one-third of them contained levels of contamination--including synthetic organic chemicals, bacteria, and arsenic. Moreover, there is growing evidence that xenoestrogens can leach out of plastic bottles into water when they are stored for long periods in either hot or very cold environments.
So many Americans, in spite of spending over $1,000 a year on bottled water, may still be exposing themselves to a significant level of toxins. These two facts taken together provide a major incentive for considering a new alternative to bottled water. It's called "WELLNESS WATER."
A Brief History of Wellness Water
Around 30 years ago, Haru Naito left Japan to attend State University of New York. After winning NCAA swimming championship there, he returned to Japan to coach Japan's National Swimming Team. Through his devotion to improving performance of his swimmers, he became involved in emerging field of sports medicine. This led him to start investigating unusual levels of health, vitality, and longevity of certain ethnic groups, including Hunza of Pakistan.
As a result of his extensive research with this group, he concluded that their extraordinary health and longevity was largely due to their water supply. Through careful analysis of this water, he discovered that it had certain unique features as a result of being filtered through minerals of volcanic origin.
During following years, he continued to investigate effects of filtering water through similar volcanic minerals in Japan until he developed water with properties very similar to those he had discovered with Hunza. The final result of his ongoing research was development of "Wellness Filter."
