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 and Hypothyroidism
Many my often
hear people talk of having a thyroid problem, or having an overactive
thyroid. But, just what does this mean and what can be done about it?
Hyperthyroidism
is aptly names. It occurs when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid
hormone. This hormone is what regulates metabolism- how the body turns
food into energy this. This snowballs into each person's heart rate, digestion,
bone and muscle strength and cholesterol levels. But, when there is too
much of this hormone, the body wants to kick into overdrive. Hyperthyroidism
is associated with Grave's disease, which causes the thyroid to speed
up. Other causes can be abnormal growths on the thyroid and thyroiditis
which occurs when the body makes antibodies to the thyroid hormones. Some
symptoms include nervousness, moodiness, weakness, tremors, irregular
heartbeat, irregular breathing even when resting, sweating, red, itchy
skin, loose stool, warm, red skin, losing or thinning hair and weigh loss.
Also, some women experience irregular periods.
Sometimes,
treatment for hyperthyroidism can lead to the opposite- hypothyroidism,
which is where the body produces too little of the thyroid hormone. And,
when this happens, all systems of the body are affected- not just the
endocrine. The disease is caused by several other things as well. Teenagers
with this disease will often look much younger than you'd think. This
disease can also become serious if untreated in adulthood. Some symptoms
include inability to tolerate the cold, thinning hair, brittle nails,
dry skin, tiredness, memory loss, depression, slow speech and body movements
and constipation.
While
this disease can be treated with thyroid medication, there is no cure.
Water can come in very handy to treat the symptoms. Being hydrated can
help in promotion moister skin, in regulating body temperature, eliminating
fatigue, loosening stool and even helping the brain- memory- function
better. Drinking
pure filtered water is also important, as fluoride and chlorine in
water can block the iodine receptors in the thyroid. Weight gain is something
that can also come along with hypothyroidism, and adding more water to
the diet is something that can aid in weight loss.
