How to Consume Purer Water
Various experts and websites have differing opinions on what is the healthiest water to consume. Countless blogs and experts debate which form of water filtration is best, slandering the types they do not like and exaggerating the various strengths and weaknesses of each. One “expert” might say, “ozone is the best! It purifies the water better than anything else, with the added benefit that ingesting ozone has miraculous healing properties.” While another “expert” might say, “ingesting ozonated water does nothing to improve health, and reverse osmosis is the way to go!”
How to Find a Pure Spring
One of the most discussed ways of getting better water in our modern age is straight from a spring. No form of contemporary water purification is going to be perfect; ancient people consumed water from streams and springs since the dawn of time. Is drinking from a spring healthy because it could be considered paleo? Maybe, if the source is pure—but even then, I am sure many ancient people were sickened by contaminated water throughout history. There are increased (natural) heavy metal and mineral concentrations in some streams, and others could be filled with bacteria and parasites. However, spring water should be purer because it comes directly from the water table and is filtered by rocks and sediment.
Findaspring.com is a website dedicated to helping you find a local spring where you can hopefully get access to clean water. Go with the natural springs that have good reviews and have been tested. I recommend testing the spring periodically yourself to make sure the water you are consuming is of high quality. A good idea to assure that spring water is free of microbial contaminants might be to filter it through activated carbon. Perfect, pure water is hard to find, especially in our dirty, modern world. I cannot tell you how to drink perfection, but I can give you some ways to consume healthier water and improve your health.
