Did
you know?
Reverse osmosis is the finest water filtration method known. This process will
allow the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution. It is used
to purify water and remove salts and other impurities in order to improve the
color, taste or properties of the fluid. R.O. uses a membrane that is semi-permeable,
allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting
other ions and contaminants from passing.
This technology uses a process
known as crossflow to allow the r.o. membrane to continually clean itself. This
is the reason of why an r.o. element can last many years before clogging or
need replacement. This
water purification process requires a driving force to push the fluid through
the membrane, and the most common force is household water pressure or pressure
from a booster pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force and
efficiency.

Water can prevent and alleviate many of our symptoms
WATER AND PROSTATE CANCER
Prostate
cancer is mostly thought of as a senior citizen disease, with over 75%
of diagnoses made on men over the age of 65. However, this means that
over one-fourth of all prostate cancer patients are not yet of retirement
age. Everyone, no matter how young, can benefit from certain preventative
measures.
Preventing
Prostate Cancer
Certain
water contaminants have been linked with higher rates of prostate cancer.
These include atrazine, a widely used weed-killer that permeates through
the soil into water supplies. Atrazine is particularly prevalent during
the springtime, when most crops are fertilized. Although the Environmental
Protection Agency imposes a limit on atrazine levels in water, this limit
is based on a yearly average, meaning low levels during off-season can
off-set alarmingly high levels during growing season.
Another
outside contributor to developing prostate cancer is the plastic packaging
used for bottled water. Multiple studies have shown that the toxic chemicals
used to create plastic packaging can break down and seep into the water
within, wreaking havoc on the body. Prostate cancer is especially sensitive
to environmental factors, making bottled water a particular concern. Avoid
large water containers whenever possible, as these transmit the highest
levels of toxins.
A
diet high in fiber is credited with reducing the risk of contracting prostate
cancer. However, in order for a high-fiber meal plan to be effective,
one must drink at least one cup of water for every 20 pounds of body weight
daily, and supplement their diet with additional sources of calcium, zinc,
and iron. Drinking the required amount of water provides as much as one-third
of the recommended daily intake of calcium.
Consuming
a minimum of eight glasses of atrazine-devoid, non-bottled water each
day keeps your body running at its best to prevent cancer from the start,
helping to eliminate toxins from the body and keeping the prostate in
working order.
Water
and Prostate Cancer Treatment
There
is hope for those who have already been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Over 70% of diagnosed men die from causes not related to their cancer,
and many can go on safely with no treatment, under the supervision of
a physician.
Water
consumption is of even greater importance for those who already have prostate
cancer. Certain hormones affected by the cancer also regulate bodily processes
like water regulation, and when the body is dehydrated, these hormones
are unable to work effectively. Thirst is a sign that the body is already
dehydrated; so don't wait until you feel the urge—keep drinking water
throughout the day. Consuming adequate amounts of water each day can help
to maintain good health and a strong immune system to help in your battle
against cancer.
