Here’s a question for you: If you live in Long Island, are you getting enough water? Chances are the answer is no. The latest CivicScience polling shows that close to half (47%) of U.S. adults consume far below the recommended amount, at less than three 16-oz. glasses of water per day. In today’s fast-paced world, taking a moment to stay hydrated is critical for your health. At Simply PURE, we know water intake can boost energy, enhance cognitive function, promote healthy digestion, and support radiant skin. Here are 6 reasons for you to drink more water:

1. Hydration: The Foundation of Wellness

Adequate hydration is not only crucial but the cornerstone of our body’s optimal performance. From regulating internal temperature to aiding digestion, facilitating nutrient absorption, promoting detoxification, and maintaining overall bodily functions, water plays an absolutely paramount role.

2. Energize and Combat Fatigue

Feeling sluggish and lacking energy in the middle of the day? It’s highly likely that dehydration might be the sneaky culprit behind it. Even a slight decrease in hydration levels can lead to reduced energy levels, cognitive functionality, and an overall sense of fatigue. So, it’s essential to ensure you’re rejuvenating both your body and mind by keeping well-hydrated with refreshing water.

3. A Companion for Weight Management

If you’re embarking on the journey of weight management, water becomes your steadfast ally. Consuming water before meals not only helps curb calorie intake by providing a satiating effect but also aids in proper digestion. Additionally, water plays a vital role in metabolizing and breaking down fat reserves, making it an indispensable asset on your weight management journey.

4. Enhance Physical Performance

Whether you’re a dedicated fitness enthusiast or an occasional exerciser, maintaining proper hydration is the key to unlocking your optimal performance. Water ensures joint flexibility, helps regulate body temperature during intense physical activities, and oxygenates your hardworking muscles, keeping you at your peak performance level.

5. Improve Skin Health

Aspire to achieve a luminous complexion? Hydration is the missing element in your skincare routine. By incorporating hydration into your daily regimen, you can nourish and replenish your skin, giving it that healthy and glowing appearance.

6. Boost Your Metabolism

Water is truly the elixir of life when it comes to numerous metabolic processes in the body. Proper hydration ensures that these vital functions operate seamlessly, impacting your energy levels, overall vitality, and even your body’s ability to efficiently burn calories.

Tips for Maximizing Your Hydration:

1. Morning Ritual: Start your day with a glass of water. Before reaching for any caffeinated beverages, hydrate to kickstart your metabolism and counteract overnight dehydration.

2. Prioritize Safe and Clean Tap Water: It is essential to ensure that the water from your tap is safe and free from contaminants. Not all tap water is created equal. By using a trusted filtration system like those available from Simply PURE, you can guarantee that you are consuming water that is free from harmful chemicals and pollutants, offering you peace of mind with every sip.

3. Infuse Natural Flavors: Elevate the taste of your water by adding slices of refreshing fruits such as lemon, cucumber, or berries.

4. Aim for Adequate Intake: Strive to drink the recommended 8-10 glasses of water daily, adjusting based on your health, activity level, and environmental factors.

5. Counteract Dehydration: Offset the dehydrating effects of drinks like coffee¹ and alcohol by increasing your water intake.

6. Balance After Alcohol: Accompany or follow up alcoholic beverages with water to counteract their dehydrating nature.

7. Consider the Climate: Adjust your water intake based on the climate you are in. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can increase your hydration needs.

Customers Frequently Ask..

The answer to this question depends on which kind of drinking water you’re talking about. There are multiple agencies responsible for regulating water quality in the U.S., and there are some who are more critical about the way it’s handled.

________________________________________

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in charge of overseeing the water that comes out of your tap. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees and regulates the quality of bottled water.

________________________________________

Individual states are responsible for regulating water that is bottled and sold within their borders. Finally, your municipality must make sure it is following federal and state standards regarding water quality.

________________________________________

The EPA does not regulate private wells, and rules for testing differ from state to state. In many cases, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to make sure their well water is safe.

Certain things can affect the flavor, odor, and appearance of your tap water, not all of them are necessarily harmful.

________________________________________

Many people with public water can taste the chlorine, although the most noticeable problems tend to come from private wells. Contaminants like sulfur can impact the smell, while iron will cause discoloration and staining.

________________________________________

The overall amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) in your tap water will definitely affect the taste, smell, and appearance. While many of these issues are not serious concerns, they can certainly be a nuisance. Water filtration systems, including a high-efficiency water softener to reduce hardness, can provide solutions.

This process is called “reverse” osmosis because the pressure forces the water to flow in the reverse direction (from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution) to the flow direction (from the dilute to the concentrated) in the process of natural osmosis. RO removes ionized salts, colloids, and organic molecules down to a molecular weight of 100.

________________________________________

You can get a whole-house RO, but more commonly, a point-of-use RO system would be on your countertop or installed under the sink. They’re great for treating water for cooking and drinking, but they don’t usually produce large amounts of treated water — more like 3 to 10 gallons a day. For that reason, typically people choose to install RO-treated faucets in the most popular areas of the home such as kitchens and bathrooms, as opposed to installing it for every drinking tap. Just like any other kind of filter technology, reverse osmosis systems require regular maintenance. That includes periodically replacing the unit’s prefilters, postfilters, and membrane modules.

Due to the media attention Flint, Michigan, received over its water crisis, a lot of people have questions about lead in public water systems around the U.S.

________________________________________

Lead (as well as copper) typically enters the public supply by leaching into water from corroded fixtures and outdated plumbing. Homes built before 1986 will likely have plumbing with copper pipes using solder that may contain lead.

________________________________________

Lead can cause serious negative health effects, especially in children. The challenge is that it is undetectable by human senses. You can check with your local water authority for information about lead levels, but it’s important to note that the CDC and EPA say there’s no level of lead recognized as safe for consumption.

________________________________________

If you have concerns about the presence of lead in your water, you can have it tested in a state-certified laboratory. You can also read more in our article on lead in drinking water.

Softening hard water can mitigate many of its objectionable effects. Water softening can be done either at point of entry or point of use. One of the unique advantages offered by point-of-use water softening is the opportunity for homemakers to have either hard or soft water for drinking. This choice is not available if the water supply is softened municipally. Hardness minerals can be reduced in water to make it “softer” by using one of three basic means:

  • Chemical softening—lime softening, hot and cold; lime-soda softening
  • Membrane separation softening—Nano filtration
  • Cation exchange softening—inorganic, carbonaceous, or organic base exchangers
  • Softening water for home needs is done almost exclusively through the use of cation exchange.
