Water makes up about two-thirds of who we are, and influences 100 percent of the processes in our body. We literally are water, and although there is an emphasis on this in society, there is not enough. Many health and mental problems experienced are the direct result of dehydration, and all around the world, hundreds of millions of people don’t have good access to clean water.

Thankfully, today we have something that many people in pretty recent history didn’t have: modern water treatment processes. Indeed, the average daily household uses 350 gallons of water for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and other purposes. Water is more a part of all of our lives than any of us probably realize. Understanding this relationship is a key part of having healthy bodies and minds.

Of course, the real key to this relationship is having clean and clear water. And not just clean. Consider this: tap water isn’t what you thought it was. In fact, it is full of harmful chemicals and other contaminants. While municipal water filtration systems do make water relatively safe to drink, they are not quite comprehensive.

Chlorine is often what is used to purify municipal water systems. Unfortunately, chlorine is a chemical itself, making it necessary to remove it from the water. Homeowners should be aware of, and concerned about, the hard water content of their tap water. Up to 85% of American households are affected by hard water, which is water that has a high mineral content.

Getting a chlorine removal system is an amazing idea for households. Through reverse osmosis, you can strip the water of harmful and scratchy minerals and your water softener will make your consumption much more healthy for your body and its processes.

Water is a cure to many things, from pain to concentration issues. In a study on the effects of water on headaches, participants experienced ?total relief? from their headaches within 30 minutes of drinking water (two cups, on average). Understanding where it’s from, how “hard” it is, and what you can do about it might change your life. Reverse osmosis can help you do that.
