You need...to remember the importance of minerals and your skin is the largest organ in the body
Sweet! You are reducing/removing contaminants from your water-great job! Now you may want to consider optimizing your water for health and hydration!Reverse Osmosis water is void of minerals and therefore void of an electrical charge. Your cells need to reduce oxidation from free radicals and be charged to function properly. Here are 3 recommendations to get more healthy and hydrated!1) Add Minerals! Another word for these is electrolytes. Everyone, not just athletes, needs them.a) According to Dr. Cohen and Gina Bria add a pinch of Himalayan or sea salt to your water, apple cider vinegar, or lemon. Check out videos on our YouTube channel for recipes.b) Add Trace Minerals (I love Thrive Market, so I'm sending you to their page to get them to put you can order them through multiple vendors or find a brand you like at your local grocery store. c) Check out the brand Quinton2) Keep Source Minerals! My mom and I regularly recommend for people to remove their RO unit and install a 3-stage filter along with a Kangen Ionizer. The filters are customized to your local municipality or personal needs and they retain source minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium so your body doesn't have to pull these minerals from your bones, teeth, joints, etc. If you don't want to remove your RO machine, consider adding a Remineralizing Filter and a water pump to have your RO function with a Kangen unit.a) Pre-Filter Recommendationsb) Kangen Ionizer3) Consider a whole-house filter! Whatever touches our skin can be absorbed in the body. If you own your home or plan to stay in your rental home for years to come, you may want to consider whole-house filtration. At roughly $12-20/mo, you can drink, clean, bathe, wash filtered water that has 81 containments removed or reduced AND it keeps source minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. It’s a convenient no-brainer. The filter is replaced once every 5-7 years.Click here for more benefits of whole-home filtration.4) Hydration Tips-Bonus!It's not just what water you drink but HOW you drink it. Behavior plays a big part. Here are some hydration tips:Aim to drink .5 your body weight in ounces in water (Teas, Coffee, Kombucha, Sports Drinks don't count. *Remember 85% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.Ingest 12oz-16oz of water at a time between meals. Don't sip and measure your daily consumption.Avoid drinking lots of water at meal time. **It disrupts the digestion process, this is where you can sip;)Avoid plastics by making your water at home! **There are up to 2500 plastic particles in (1) 8oz plastic water bottle, and if that's not enough, I have 4 words for you:) Great Pacific Garbage Patch.Retain source minerals or consider adding trace minerals to your water. ***Without these minerals your body pulls these from your bones, joints, teeth, etc.Consider adding more iceberg lettuce, non-starchy veggies, citrus fruits to your diet and 1 tsp chia seeds to your water. ****They have up to 90% of the 4th phase of water.
