Amazing Health Benefits of Distilled Water
Water is required by all living organisms to sustain life. Human
blood is composed of 95% water and the brain is about 75% water. Humans
can go with out food for weeks, but without water, death will result
only after a few days. What is it?
Distilled water has been heated to the boiling point so that
impurities are separated from the water which itself becomes vapor or
steam. It is then condensed back into pure liquid form. Distillation
removes the debris, all solids, minerals, bacteria, and other
contaminants and has no taste.
The Importance of truly clean water
Distilled water has extraordinary benefits for the human body. The
quality of your tissues, their performance, and their resistance to
disease and injury are linked to the quality and quantity of water you
drink.
It acts somewhat like a magnet, picking up rejected,
discarded, and unusable inorganic minerals and eliminating them from
the body. When drinking distilled water, the body no longer has to
process any inorganic waste that can sometimes be present in tap water.
The body functions more efficiently without having to filter out and
discard any unwanted and unusable waste. This translates into better
absorption of key vitamins and minerals within the body. Also, because
distilled water has the ability to pick up mineral deposits that
accumulate in cells, joints and artery walls, things like gallstones
and kidney stones decrease. Arthritic pain diminishes and the joints
become more supple and movable. Experts agree that in order to
maintain optimum health one needs to drink 8-10 glasses of water per
day. Water helps to purify the blood, flush out waste, and clean the
elimination organs; the kidneys, liver and colon. It is a fantastic way
to maintain healthy skin and keep that youthful appearance. Dangers of Tap Water
Most people get their water from the household tap. The majority of
this water goes through a cleaning system at a local water treatment
plant. However, many harmful pollutants and water borne diseases are
present in the finished treated water. If you have ever seen what is at
the bottom of a gallon of city tap water after it has been distilled
you would probably be sickened! Brown slime covers the distiller after
just one gallon. Imagine what this does to the body when it ingests
hundreds of gallons a year!
Half of the US population uses water
that is partially made up of recently discharged wastewater. And like
the treatments for drinking water, waste water treatments do not remove
many of the toxic substances. Even bottled "spring" water is only
required by law to be 50% spring water. The rest can be made up of
purified municipal tap water. Does distilled water leech minerals from the body?
While distilled water helps to remove minerals from the body that
cells have eliminated or not used, it does not "leach" out minerals
that have become part of your body's cell structure. This is
physiologically impossible. There are two types of minerals, organic
and inorganic. Inorganic minerals are non-vegetable or non-animal
matter, things like rocks that are non-living. Because these components
are non-living, our bodies can not make use of these minerals and our
cells reject them. The result of ingesting these minerals is a buildup
of debris in the body. Organic minerals are living and found in all
live foods such as vegetables, fruit, seeds, grains, meats, and nuts.
These are assimilated by our cells and used to build and maintain the
body. The statement that distilled water leaches minerals from the body
has no basis in fact. It doesn't leach out minerals that have become
part of the cell structure. It collects only minerals that have already
been rejected or excreted by the cells.
It is my opinion that
distillation cannot be improved upon. It is literally the method used
by nature itself. The sun heats water on the earth's surface, the water
is turned into a vapor and rises, leaving contaminants behind. The
moisture then forms into clouds. As the temperature drops, the vapors
cool and form water droplets. The water drops fall as rain, perfectly
distilled and pure. This is the same process by which commercially
distilled water is made. Tap water is heated to boiling point so the
impurities are separated from the water, and the water then becomes
steam. This is then condensed back into water, leaving the impurities
to remain as residue and leaving pure, pH balanced water.
