Drinking good water is healthy
Even
simple activated carbon filters remove much of the contaminants, drug
residues or hormones from drinking water that we would otherwise
ingest through coffee, tea, cooked foods with water and just drinking
tap water.
In particular, infants, children, sick or elderly
people benefit from re-purifying drinking water because their natural
regulatory mechanisms are less stressed. The water consumed can more
effectively support metabolic processes in the body.
Tap water
is also a real health alternative to mineral water, as the quality of
mineral water is subject to much less scrutiny. Another disadvantage
of mineral water from plastic bottles is impurities that can seep
into the water during storage, accumulate in the body or exhibit
hormone-like effects. Once well-controlled "food - drinking
water" is further purified by filtration, its quality for
consumption becomes safer and safer.
Because it protects the environment
Drinking filtered tap water is actively protecting the environment. In particular, buying disposable plastic bottles, PET bottles, but also water in glass bottles takes a toll on the environment.
Plastic waste pollutes rivers, lakes and seas for centuries,
producing plastic bottles costs energy and precious but scarce petroleum oil,
recycling of PET and glass bottles costs energy,
the entire logistical process from bottle production to disposal and recycling requires energy, raw materials and creates a huge carbon footprint - especially when water is purchased after being transported across Europe in advance.
People who choose to drink filtered tap water instead of bottled water are making a significant contribution to the environment and improving their personal ecological footprint.
