Water

H2O. It's at the very foundation of the pyramid. Everyone requires it. But the water that's available to most of us has had chemicals added to it in order to make it pure. What does that mean?

Logic tells us that if chlorine - a toxic poison - is put in there to kill harmful bacteria, that even in small amounts, it's probably not too good for us either!

Then there's synthetic flourine or flouride. Flouride is a waste product of aluminum and is toxic. Too much fouride causes the teeth to turn a mottled brown. It also contributes to alzheimer's. Paul Bragg's book on Water is an eyeopener!
I figure that anything we can do to make an improvement on our health is valuable. Bragg advises investing in a water distiller. We have chosen to go with an on-the-counter purifier. We had an Amway E-Spring but wanted to find a smaller, less expensive but still high quality unit that would remove not only the chlorine and flouride but much more, and we went with the Aquasana; our water is not just better tasting but cleaner, too!
Bottled water has the drawback of leaching plastic from the bottle. When I take water with me, I refill the bottle from the purifier so the water is fresh.
And if you're going to infuse your water with oranges, strawberries, cucumbers, or edible flowers, etc., you'll want to be sure to wash them. :) Here's to your health!
