Do you remember learning about water pH levels in science class? Maybe you placed a piece of litmus paper in various liquids to check their level? If not, here’s a quick refresher.
The pH scale is used in chemistry to describe how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH value, while basic (or alkaline) solutions have higher values. The pH of water can range from 1 to 14, with the natural pH of water being approximately 7.
People who love the natural spring water from our artesian springs in Eldorado Springs, Colorado, sometimes express a concern to us. They’ll ask, “Do springs run out of water?” They would hate to have to go without our pure water with its award-winning taste.
Water is the lifeblood of our planet and, as such, our most valuable resource. However, not all water is the same. Water in its most pure form is devoid of any chemicals, dissolved solids, biological components, or even minerals. After all, water is just the molecule H2O.
However, no matter how isolated it is from sources of contamination, water can’t exist naturally as H2O alone. The reason for this is that water is a universal solvent, and it easily dissolves a variety of materials. Some of these materials, such as naturally occurring minerals, are good additions, while others shouldn’t be consumed.
Reverse osmosis is a method of purifying water. A reverse osmosis system forces water through a semi-permeable membrane to remove unwanted particles—all the way down to the molecular level—from water.
Well, this is it! The top ten health benefits of drinking water. The reasons why we love it so much and want you to as well!
Do you find yourself asking the question, “Why am I still thirsty after drinking water?" Unfortunately, resolving the issue isn't as simple as drinking more water, because you’re not addressing an underlying problem. If you feel you are drinking plenty of water but not quenching your thirst, there could be any number of reasons for this.
As most people know, the benefits of drinking water are numerous and well-documented. If you drink water throughout your day, you may enjoy a decreased appetite and increased metabolism (and accompanying weight loss), greater alertness and productivity, and reduced risk of certain cancers.
You may also experience fewer headaches and backaches. Plus, you will boost your immune system, which means you’ll likely get sick less often and have milder symptoms if you catch a bug.
We talk all the time about how important hydration is. But even WE occasionally forget to consume a glass of water when we should. Thankfully there are many tracking tools out there to keep us honest! Here are our top 5 favorite water-tracking apps.
Vitamin water is a beverage that consists of water with added water-soluble vitamins. Most producers offer different vitamin water flavors sweetened with sugar or other natural and artificial sweeteners.
First introduced in the U.S. more than a decade ago, vitamin water sales continue to grow as consumers recognize the importance of vitamins in their diet and feel that the vitamin water benefits outweigh the added calories.
Recently there has been a heightened sensitivity toward the use of plastics. Specifically, the use of plastic packaging for commonly used items like bottles. Much of this backlash comes from the idea that this plastic ends up in the oceans, leading to disastrous and far reaching environmental problems. In fact, there have even been legislative bills proposed to tax water bottling companies.
