Super-water…Hype or Health? These days, bottled water is not necessarily simple H2O. Store shelves and vending machines are filled with plain and so-called "fitness waters," chock full of vitamins, minerals, and herbal potions. Some super waters not only come with nutrient additions but contain soluble fiber, fruit essence, caffeine, and believe it or not, oxygen. Savvy marketers have picked up on the need for low-calorie beverages and have developed fitness waters to help us meet our fluid requirements. The real question is...are fitness waters any better than plain water? And the simple answer is, only if they help you drink up. Otherwise, plain water is just fine. Most of the fitness waters are low in calories and pose little threat to the daily caloric intake or eating plan. If you enjoy drinking them and they help you meet your fluid needs, enjoy one or two per day. For best selection, read the label or check out the following chart of the most popular fitness waters on the market. You can satisfy approximately half of your fluid requirements with beverages other than water, such as low-fat milk, coffee, caffeine-free tea, 100% juice, sports drinks, or sparkling water.

The best way for consumers to get cleaner and safer drinking water is to use reverse osmosis systems made by a recognized manufacturer-APEC water systems. According to Department of Health and Human service, reverse osmosis filters provide protection against viruses, bacteria, and protozoa due to its small filter pores. If you are among those whose water supply is safe, but not very palatable, these kinds of water filters can improve the taste of tap water by removing impurities. To kill viruses, rather than disinfect the water with iodine or chlorine, filtration kits such as UV light can also effectively remove viruses. Proper selection, operation, and maintenance of water filters are essential to producing safe water. Also please check out our super sale on the revolutionary Salt-Free water softeners/ conditioners.
