Water
	Today's consumer is a knowledgeable consumer. We have so many choices, making the right decision can at times be a challenge. To help you, Just One Drop Water Shops has compiled answers to Frequently Asked Questions. We trust that with this information, you will feel confident in making important decisions for you and your family. Water is Essential to a Healthy Life Water is an important ingredient to your health. Doctors recommend we drink 6 to 8 glasses of pure water each day for our best possible health. Drinking water is so particularly important when we realize that nearly 70% of our body weight is made up of water. When you decrease the amount of water to your body by 5%, your working performance declines by 20% and in some cases 30%. Water is essential in dissolving the body's waste products and flushing out toxins. This is why we can't survive without water. Chlorine Chlorine is an inorganic gas (C2), widely used as a water disinfectant, and is an oxidizing agent for organic matter such as iron, etc. The combination of chlorine and organic matter like soil and leaves are by-products that cause Trihalomethanes (THMS). These chemicals, which are often present in our drinking water, are known as carcinogens or cancer-causing organic chemicals, which are produced by the reaction of chorine on organic chemicals. Chorine by-products are a potential risk in our water supply. Chorine chemically bonds to the protein in our hair and skin, destroying its natural ecological balance. While it is okay for removing stains in your laundry, chorine can leave your hair dry and brittle and make your skin flaky and itchy. Don't We Need the Minerals in the Water? There are two forms of minerals: inorganic and organic. Inorganic minerals refer to non-vegetable or non-animal matter, i.e. not living. These include calcium, iron, and magnesium found in water. Since these components are non-living, our bodies find it difficult to make use of these minerals and our cells reject them. The result of ingesting inorganic minerals is an accumulation of debris in our bodies. Organic minerals on the other hand are living, and are found in foods like vegetables, fruits, grains, meats and nuts which form our daily diet. These minerals are assimilated by our cells and are essential for good health. Over 95% of minerals ingested daily come from food and less than 5% from water. If you rely on water as a source of your required minerals, you will greatly lack essential minerals that your body needs. At Just One Drop Water Shops we believe it makes good sense to remove all inorganic contaminants, chemical, bacteria and other impurities from drinking water and rely on our foods for the useful minerals we require for good health. For your water needs you can rely on "Common Sense In A Bottle".
