Truths of Tap and Mineral Water

This week on social media, I talked about water. I’ve talked in the past about how the body is 60–70% water.

There are toxins everywhere. But if we can limit overall exposure, our bodies will have a better chance to support our detox pathways. And as our body is at least 60% water, you ideally want that nutrient to be sourced from the best quality.

Now I rarely use absolutes but with tap water, I will use an absolute. In the U.S. but likely everywhere, we should resist drinking tap water, unless filtered. Cooking with tap water should also be reduced. Well water is better but oftentimes they may also need a filter. If you own a well, make sure to get it tested occasionally. There is just so much stuff in our soils nowadays that nothing is guaranteed to be safe.
