Water Filters and Purifiers - What are the health benefits?
Water filters, purifiers and water filtration systems convert
ordinary tap water into perfectly safe drinking water. They
remove impurities and contaminants by means of a fine physical
barrier or a chemical process.
Health benefits of a water filter:
A water filter
or water purifier is very beneficial for healthy living.
Ordinary water contains numerous contaminants including
bacteria, algae, viruses, fungi, minerals, and man-made chemical
pollutants that cannot be seen with the naked eye. These
contaminants not only cause the water to taste bad, but are also
very harmful to your health.
A water filter kills all of these organisms and filters out the
contaminants to make the water fit for drinking. Thus water
filters save us from many dangerous bacterial and viral diseases
that spread due to the contamination of water.
The working technique of water filters is based on sieving, ion
exchanges and other processes. A water filter can eliminate
particles much smaller than the holes through which the water
passes.
Alkaline water ionizers provide alkaline water. The following are
the health benefits of alkaline water:
* Promotes optimal physical performance.
* Protects DNA from oxidative damage.
* Alleviates blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.
* Betters liver function exams in hepatic disorders.
* Betters gastro duodenal ulcer and prevents recurrences.
* Betters allergic disorders such as asthma, urticaria, rhinites
and atopic dermatitis.
* Betters hypertension and hypotension.
* Betters serum bilirubin levels in newborn babies.
* Impressively suppressed the growth of cancer cells
transplanted into mice, demonstrating their anti-cancer effects.
The following are acid water health benefits:
* Electrolyzed oxidizing water inactivates Escherichia coli and
Listeria on plastic kitchen cutting boards.
* It reduces bacterial load of treated alfalfa sprouts between
91.1% and 99.8%.
* It can reduce food borne pathogens.
* It is a useful disinfectant for hospital infections.
Water filters and purifiers can be purchased at water filter
stores and online. The Pur water filter and Brita water filter
are the two well-known brands of water filters.
