Distilled Water

Distilled Water Is It Good For You? Why would anyone want to drink distilled water? First I think it important to understand what distilled water is. Distilled water is water that has been boiled, turned to steam, and then condensed, i.e. the temperature lowered, so that it returns to a liquid state, becomes water again. Why would someone do this to water in the first place? What you start with is water that has many other contaminents and what you end up with is pure water with nothing else. Reverse Osmosis which is the type water forced through a membrane and found in most bottled water is also pure water. Pure water sounds like the perfect fluid for your body doesn't it? Pure water is good for you, right? Well the short answer is, no pure water is not good for you. Let’s examine why. Why Not Distilled Water? Your body runs off of an electrical impulse. Your brain communicates and regulates every system in the body through a series of electrical signals sent through the nerves. Whether smiling or lifting a heavy weigth depend on nerve firings deep inside the muscle to cause a twitch. Ok but what exactly does that have to do with distilled, reverse osmosis, or pure water. Water that is pure will not conduct electricity, it is an insulator. When you put an insulator in an electrical circuit, what happens? The flow of electricity stops. Communication stops. However in the case of your body, being an amazing machine, the body, has the ability to reach into the bank of minerals, your skeletal system and take out minerals to mix with the water so that it will conduct electricity. The body really has no choice in the matter. It cannot allow for communication or sysems to fail. There are side effects when this occurs. You run the risk of removing your stores of minerals in the bones this can cause problems such as osteoporosis, and arthritis. Also the heart is reliant on and electrolyte balance being maintained so the heart beats properly. Interupt this process and heart arrhythmia can result. It becomes necessary for the body to use energy to change this pure water into a form that will not disrupt your bodies systems. Energy that could be used to fight disease or bacteria or bolster your immune system. Why use this precious enegy on an unnecessary task? Distilled Water Alternative What is an alternative? The water you drink should be filtered yes to remove the chlorine, heavy metals, and medicine residue it contains. Your water should have minerals so the body does not have to rob your mineral stores in bona and catrilage. This way your skeltal system is left intact and no minerals have to be withdrawn. Do not force your body into doing what it doesn't have to. If the proper minerals are used this water then become alkaline. To preserve your health drinking alkaline water is so important. By drinking alkaline water every system in your body will respond. An acidic environment is needed for cancer to develop and grow. The average cancer patient in 1000 times more acidic than a healthy person. An acidic environment is required by so many diseases such as, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, gout, diabetes, and many others. Distilled Water, More Problems Another thing about pure water. Pure water tends to make larger clusters of molecules usually 13 to 20. Water reacts like little magnets and will stick to one another in ever growing clusters especially if the water is pure. Water clusters have to be 6 or less in order to be absorbed into your body from the GI track. Here again your body can and will use energy to break down these clusters into smaller parts so the body can absorb this water. That’s why often times when you drink water fast you can feel it sloshing around in your stomach. The water clusters are too large for the body to absorb. It would be like pushing a grapefruil through a garden hose. It will not pass. My Alternative For Distilled Water What do I do? I use a system that filters and then puts in all the minerals I need for good health. The water I drink will also carry a current, that is so important for good health. My water also passes through a magnetic field which breaks down the clusters of molecules into smaller clusters. Boy does that sound expensive!! I have about 7 cents a gallon in the water I use for drinking and cooking after accounting for the system and filter replacement. That's less expensive than bottled water without bottles to throw away. You can read more about distilled water, watch a video, and see the water systems I use.
