WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES IN DRINKING WATER?
Tap water
- Municipal water, subject to strict regulations
- May be treated with chlorine to keep it clean
- May contain sediment and have a stale taste
- Contains varying amount of minerals, depending on area
- Cheap
With an Enagic Kangen Water machine, your tap water will not only become delicious by filtering unwanted sediment and residues, it will also gain the beneficial property of being rich in molecular hydrogen, a potent anti-oxidant!
Bottled water
Bottled water is not necessarily healthier than tap water and yet it costs much more! Although associated with healthy water, bottled water is not guaranteed to be any healthier than tap water. Often the only difference is the added minerals which have no proven health benefits.
A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council shows that 1/3 of the bottled water tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Bottled water can also be slightly acidic, which may affect your body's pH balance. Finally, the environmental impact caused by the production and disposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.
Distilled Water
Also known as Reverse Osmosis water. All or almost all minerals are removed, which has raised concern, as waterborne minerals are important to nutrition.
Well Water
Sometimes more alkaline in nature but prone to contamination. Requires regular testing and is expensive to maintain.
