How does your tap water rate?

Last week, the Environmental Working Group launched a national Tap Water Database that contains data for nearly 50,000 public water systems across the U.S. The numbers come from tests conducted between 2010 and 2015 that utilities reported to state agencies and the Environmental Protection Agency. How does your tap water rate... and more importantly, what are you doing about it? Do your friends and family know about "The X2O Solution"? Don't let someone else share it with them before you do!  https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/

Plain water is dead water. Bring your water back to life with mineral-rich X2O sachets. X2O sachets contain an all-natural mineral complex that releases beneficial trace minerals into the water. These minerals can be easily absorbed and used to support your body's metabolic functions. Every sachet of X2O contains calcium, magnesium, and over 70 naturally-occurring trace minerals. In maintaining a healthy pH balance, your body must have an abundant supply of ionic minerals, especially calcium. Ensuring that your body gets the optimal level of minerals it needs is a vital component to being healthy.

Why Water is Critical to Your Good Health

Your body is approximately 70% water. The most critical fluid in your body, your blood, is also mostly water. Your muscles, skin, and vital organs all contain and need large amounts of water for optimal health. And water transports oxygen to your cells, delivers nutrients, removes waste, and provides energy to the body.

Signs of Dehydration

Your body loses approximately 2.5 liters of water every day, just through normal bodily functions. You lose water through urination, respiration, and perspiration. If you are physically active or athletic, you lose even more water. Although "thirst" is an obvious sign of dehydration, the truth is your body is in need of water long before you feel thirsty. There are many symptoms of dehydration, from mild to severe. Some of the more mild forms of dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, constipation, muscle cramps.

Growing Concerns about our Water Quality*

While drinking water is one of the most important daily needs for your body, studies are revealing the presence of more contaminants, not only in our drinking water but also in bottled water. According to a recent article in Reader's Digest, modern-day tap water can contain some pretty surprising things, including antibiotics, arsenic, fertilizers, lead, pesticides, rocket fuel and more.
This alarming concern over the safety of today's municipal water certainly explains the growing popularity of bottled water in the past 10 years.
