We can go a week without food but we can not go a week without water. We need water every day. So why is water important to our body? Water allows us to think clearly, keeps us hydrated and lubricates our joints. We also need to think about how safe our drinking water is. At home you can have a simple water filter or a more sophisticated water system that has several different kinds of water filters. But what about your office water machine? And if you are not using an under the counter water system at home; are using water bottles there too? Does your office and home have Bisphenol A (BPA) free bottled water brands?
Just this year we learned about fatal Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Las Vegas, and the FDA tossed around (but ultimately decided against) the idea of falling in line with the European Union, Canada, Malaysia and China by banning, Bisphenol A (BPA) which is a carcinogenic, estrogen-mimicking chemical found in most plastic food and beverage packaging. Needless to say, health is on the forefront of our nation’s collective mind and it should be your number one concern as well.
What is bisphenol A exactly? Bisphenol A, otherwise known as BPA, is a chemical compound primarily used to harden plastic. That leads to the next question why is BPA so bad for us?
Bisphenol A effects have been shown in several studies to be toxic with severe estrogen side effects, cause structural damage to the brain, hyperactivity, abnormal sexual behavior, increased fat formation, early puberty and disrupted reproductive cycles.
Drinking water should not be complicated. Take charge of your own health simply and easily by getting rid of your BPA-laden jug-style water cooler at home or in the office and replace it with a filtered water dispenser.
Whether you drink water from an old-fashioned water cooler with a plastic jug or buy plastic bottles of water from the store, you know that water can cost a pretty penny. Unless it says so on the label, you are probably consuming BPA as well. On top of this you must feel guilty about the amount of plastic you are unconsciously contributing to landfills.
So here you are paying for toxic water, delivery and paying a premium for time and convenience all the while contributing to your health in an unhealthy way. Is it really a savings for your wallet and your health?
Replace your bottled water delivery service with the virtually hands-free operating system of a filtered (or point-of-use POU) water cooler that does not use plastic water bottles. When you compare the price of a year’s worth of drinking water from a filtration system versus delivered toxic bottled, it is a no – brainer to make the switch for the better of the enviroment and your health.
Switching to a POU water cooler gives you an endless supply of the highest-quality, best-tasting drinking water at the tip of your fingers and you do not have to worry about toxic BPA plastic.
Forming healthy, active habits to get the most out of your day is a simple as staying properly hydrated. Why not be sure you’re getting hydrated with the best water available, switch to a filtered water cooler system today.
