The latest news, updates, and information about our water
Many people keep a water bottle in the car… “just in case.” While it is always a good idea to be prepared, a water bottle sitting in a hot car for months on end may not be the wisest move. Water bottles, especially those made of thin plastic, are prone to plastic leaching, a process that can permanently alter the water inside the bottle.
When you turn on the tap water, you expect clean water ready for use. Technically, that is what you get. Every city in the United States providing public water is regulated by both state and federal guidelines to ensure safe drinking water is readily available. However, water leaving the treatment plant is not necessarily the same water you get coming out of your sink.
Many factors can motivate someone to store drinking water. Natural disasters in the area might threaten your tap water supply. Other people may hold water as a backup in case of a service interruption. Whatever the reason may be, storing water gives many people peace of mind. However, storing water safely takes a little more thought than just keeping a case of bottled water.
Health fads are constantly coming and going. Keto diets, juice cleanses, “superfoods”... they’ve all had their time in the spotlight. One of the current health fads is bone broth, a nutrient-packed broth that can be used in cooking or consumed simply by drinking it for its health benefits.
Sometimes drinking tap water comes with a “flavor.” While pure drinking water does not have a specific taste, tap water may have a more noticeable metallic taste. Often, the reason for this taste is not that the municipal water company failed to properly filter the water–rather, the culprit is old pipes in your house.
Water filters, by definition, remove impurities from water, usually by blocking impurities with a barrier. These impurities include sediment, chemicals, and other dissolved solids that might be present in a water supply. What happens, then, if some of these dissolved solids are beneficial, like minerals? Are they also removed during the filtration process?
Whether you’re sitting on the bleachers watching your kid’s baseball game or enjoying a night at the movie theater, it is common to accompany your activity with a soda. Some people drink it for the energy boost, others drink it for the flavor. Despite other beverages growing in popularity, soda still remains deeply ingrained in the culture of the United States. With millions of people drinking soda each day, it is important to understand the health implications of the beverage.
During the holiday season, heartburn is a common complaint. This is because heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux, and acid reflux can be caused by overeating. While overeating is an avoidable problem, it tends to sneak back into the forefront during the holidays. To lessen your symptoms of acid reflux this holiday season, read on.
Bread is a staple of most cultures, and it is considered one of the most common foods to eat on the planet. It can be used as a side dish, part of the main dish, and as a dessert, and bread comes in many different forms. With bread’s versatility, most people eat bread regularly. Knowing this, it is important to note the health effects of bread and its acidity.
Most people can recall a time they felt dehydrated. Maybe you were hiking, cheering on a child from the bleachers, or working long hours when you realize you have not taken the time to drink water. Typically, drinking more water is enough to fix the problem, but dehydration may have long-term health effects you are unaware of.
Before embarking on your next adventure, it is crucial to understand the environment you will be entering. Are you vacationing in Rome? Trekking through the Amazon? Camping in Yosemite? No matter your destination, the importance of hydration should remain at the top of your list. The following tips will help you stay hydrated as you travel.
Think of the last time you felt thirsty. Was it this morning? Last week? If you have ever felt thirsty, you have experienced dehydration. Dehydration occurs on a mild level when you feel thirsty, but it can escalate and have dire consequences. Why? Because water is essential to life.
