Why you should drink distilled water!

Why you should drink distilled water!

I have been researching about which type of water is best to drink for 2 - 3 months.  I started my research because I feel my health is deteriorating despite the fact that I eat normally and exercise regularly.  I feel something is off, something is wrong and my body is telling me something is wrong.

I started to have 2 year long nasal congestions. Yes I kid you not, 2 Years!  I tried everything including running saline water (netty pot) through my nose every night.  It does not fix my problem! Surprisingly my problem went away after about 2 weeks of drinking nothing but distilled water.

I accidentally discovered or watched this video:

I am a skeptic, I did not just take his word, I bought my own TDS meter and tested water I consumed (my tap water). My tap water does contain too much particles (bad inorganic particles).

Even after watching Andrew Norton's video I was not convinced, I bought gallons of distilled water from Kroger and just started to drink nothing but distilled water.  Day after day I feel better and lose some weight naturally.  It is quite a surprise.

If you are like me, you probably want to do some research yourself and you want to google around to find out if drinking distilled water is good for you.  I think you should.  I want to recommend you start with my article Is drinking distilled water everyday bad for you?

Why you should not drink tap water!

No one should drink tap water!

Yes seriously!

I have been drinking tap all my life (for over 40 years) and I want to let you know straight forward truths and facts why you should not drink tap water.

#1  FLUORIDE

Fluoride is good for your teeth, but not for daily consumption inside your water!  Yes! there are fluoride in your tap water. If you live in America, most public water treatment plants fluoridate the water while cleaning it.  Most countries in Europe and other developed countries like Japan DOES NOT fluoridate their water.

#2  CONTAINS UP TO 260 DIFFERENT CONTAMINANTS

A two-and-a-half year analysis of more than 22 million tap water quality tests revealed there are up to 260 different contaminants inside tap or drinking water supplied to about 231 million Americans.

#3  CHLORINE

Chlorine is one of the most popular chemical used to purify water and kill bacteria.  It is a very effective chemical.  It is the chemical used to clean most swimming pools.  It is the main ingredient for bleaching in products like Clorox.  Chlorine is a toxic chemical and the human body was never intended to consume any level of chlorine.

#4  OLD PIPES

Tap water travels miles before reaching your home. Sometime tap water sits for long period of time in large water tanks / water tower before being delivered to your home. Imagine how much iron, dust, algae, and thousands of bacteria accumulate in tap water during its journey to your home. While trace elements of many metals such as magnesium and selenium are good for your body, others like lead and aluminum are deadly.

#5  PLASTIC AND PESTICIDES

In recent years... industrialization has wreck havoc in our environment.  Two products in particular have tremendous effect on tap water quality.

Plastic.  Humans' dependency or mass abuse of plastic has gone out of control ever since bottled water industry took-off.  Littered plastic bottles are everywhere.  But plastic do not degrade naturally and it takes up to 100 years for plastic to complete break down.  Even worst during the break-down process it leaches harmful (cancer causing chemicals) all throughout its degeneration process. Why this is bad?  Well imagine plastic liters buried deep inside giant waste dumps, what do you think happen to all those plastic once they are absorbed by the soil and seeps into ground water?  How about the millions of plastic water bottles in the ocean? You don't think sea water will eventually cycles back to your drinking water? Think again!

Pesticide. Do I even need to explain this one?  Farmers use more and more pesticides because bugs are becoming tolerant for them. So stronger and more toxic pesticides are constantly being produced. Pesticide not only gets absorbed in foods and vegetables we eat.  They also gets absorbed into the ground, mixed with flowing underground aquifers and eventually into wells and fresh water sources which may be used by your city's water treatment plants. If you are drinking tap water, you can be certain there are traces of pesticides you are consuming everyday.

Sadly I can keep writing for another 30 minutes about why no one should drink tap water!  If the 5 reasons I wrote above does not scare you then I think you should just keep drinking tap water.  But you feel you should not drink tap water anymore then you should read my article about Why you should drink distilled water!

The best water distiller to buy for your family

Which water distiller should I buy so I can supply good and pure distilled water for my family?

Drinking pure clean water is essential for everyone. I am 41 years old. I have been drinking tap water all my life. I feel cheated not knowing how harmful they are for human.

Tap water mostly come for water treatment plants and most water treatment plants uses combination of filtration and toxic chemicals to clean and make the water safe to drink again.

I just want to share my personal research and findings on my quest to provide better drinking water for myself and my family.

After much research... this is the Water Distiller I bought from Amazon:

Megahome Countertop Water Distiller (Stainless, Glass)



It is NOT cheap at $229 but I believe it is one of the most essential appliance in my kitchen.

Most people still don't know how bad it is to drink tap water and why I would pay $229 and $60 of electricity every month to create my own distilled water.  If you wonder why please read my article Why you should not drink tap water!

Distilling water takes up too much energy!

Most people are not aware how much energy is needed to distill water.

Distilling water takes a lot of energy.  By a lot I mean really 'a lot'. It takes approximately 6 hours of continuous 600 watts of electricity to produce 1 Gallon of good distilled water, that is 3.6KWh of energy for each gallon of distilled water.

For a family of 5, you may need about 4 - 5 Gallons of drinking water. That means you will use up 18 KWh of electricity everyday and 540 KWh of electricity every month. In Houston, Texas where I live 540 KWh will cost about $60 / month of electricity.

Since I realize this fact, I know appreciate having tap water more... why? because now I understand how water treatment plants can not possibly supply everyone with water as pure as distilled water.  It is simply NOT feasible.

Can you imagine watering your lawn with distilled water? or washing your car with distilled water? It just does not make sense.

Even it the cost of energy was not in consideration the method of transporting the water is another problem. Can you imagine re-contaminating newly distilled through the 100+ years old city pipes? That is going to defeat all the effort to begin with.

Adding minerals back to distilled water!

Distilled Water = Dead Water?

Distilled water is the most purified water, meaning distilled water contains no particles, no extra anything in the water. Just pure H2O. Some people call this dead water because it contains no living or organic mineral. In fact it does not even contain any inorganic mineral either.

What is wrong with dead water?

We are living beings. We eat and drink living things. While our body do need a few dead minerals like iron, most of the minerals and nutrients our body needs are organic ones.  Drinking distilled water means it will not enrich our body with any nutrients.  However it will cleanse our body which is one of the major purpose of drinking water, to purify our body.

Many people believe drinking distilled water over long period (longer than 1 week) will cause our body to leach our existing minerals out of our body. Many also argue this leaching effect is not true.

Why our body need minerals

Our body needs hundreds of different types of minerals to function optimally.  I am sure you know about most of them, I will name a few for example:  Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Iron and Zinc.  Without these minerals your body will be sick!

How to add minerals back to distilled water

I researched and found this product:

 

You can buy it from Amazon for about $18.50

It contained concentrated minerals collected from natural minerals from the bottom of Salt Lake in Utah. 

Technically it contains the following nutritional contents:

I add a few drops of ConcenTrace to my distilled water which I drink daily.

Of course you also have to eat well also.

For me ... distilled water has made me healthier. I used to have nasal congestion for about 2 years, I tried everything and nothing worked. My nasal congestion went away after drinking nothing but distilled water for 2 weeks.  I also feel I have more energy and able to focus better.

Is distilled water dangerous for daily drinking (SOLUTION)?

The question is... Is drinking distilled water everyday bad for the human body? Seems like a simple question, but surprisingly difficult to answer because there are too many conflicting answers (from articles, blogs, videos, etc...). I am writing this article NOT to add further to this conflict, but to summarize the issue and tell people what simple solution I have for myself.

What is distilled water?

Distilled water is a type of water which has gone through a purification process of evaporation and condensation. The best example is comparing distillation process with the cycle of water on earth which everyone is familiar with.

Distillation of water involves boiling water to evaporate water molecules into the air, then the water molecules will evaporates upward towards a blocking material which will help condensate the molecules together into larger water molecules then collected as 'CLEANED' and 'DISTILLED' water.

What is the controversy?

Some people and even doctors believe drinking distilled water everyday will have bad consequences for the human body because distilled water is negatively charged and will try to pull / absorb nutrients from body. Another reason is because distilled water is 'dead water' without any minerals and the absence of minerals is bad for the human body.

On the other hand many people and doctors believe distilled water is the purest form of water. It is still natural and will not leach minerals from our body.

Why experts believe distilled water is GOOD?

1. It is clean, no chemicals, no minerals, just pure water
2. It will remove harmful and dead minerals (toxics) from our body
3. We can get missing minerals from food we eat

Why experts believe distilled water is BAD?

1. Too pure, no minerals at all
2. May leach good minerals from our body
3. May become acidic since distilled water is negatively charged and when combined with carbon dioxide will become acidic (I have never experience this - there are millions of gallons of distilled water sitting on grocery store shelves and they are not getting acidic?!?)
4. Commercial bottled water industry and soda industry propaganda

Whatever you believe, distilled water is still better than tap water

Whatever you decide and believe after reading this article about distilled water is okay.  I just want to make sure everyone know how bad Tap water really are in American (or even most countries).

1. Tap water contains many chemicals, such as Chlorine (to clean the water).
2. Tap water contains contaminants from miles of pipes it has to travel in.
3. Tap water usually contains fluoride (actually not good for human body).

My SOLUTION

After weeks of research. I have decided to test drinking distilled water myself. I have drank distilled water for 2 months 'WITHOUT ANY ADDED MINERAL' just pure distilled water, and I am doing better than before. I have lost weight, have more energy and focus. Whether it may have long term consequences if I keep drinking it daily? I am not sure and I realize I don't have to decide. I now know distilled water is NOT harmful being drank daily for 2 months.

So the question is... Why do I have to choose?  All I have to do is add natural minerals back to the pure distilled water and voila, I have the perfect water. By adding natural organic minerals from product like this:

Trace Minerals Research - Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops, 8 fl oz liquid

Which dissolves in the distilled water, I should have a CLEAN but MINERALIZE water that I need. It will clean my body and nourish it at the sometime.

For me the choice and solution is clear, but surprisingly I have not seen this solution being written or suggested. Hmm...?


BTW: I do take multi-vitamins daily and I do practice eating healthy.

How to eat healthily, what to eat and why you should eat organic?

INTRO BLOG - FIRST BLOG

Who am I and why I decided to change my eating habits

I am 40 years old. I live in America and I am of Asian ethnic descendant. Most of my life I have been eating 'rice'. Just pure white rice (jasmine rice) the kind anybody can buy in any asian grocery store.

For the past year my health has declined considerably, I started to have feel sluggish (easily tired) and constantly having mucus / being congested in my nasal passages. I thought this was temporary but this situation persisted for more than 12 months and I believe it is getting worse because often my mucus would come out green colored. So I decided to find out what is wrong.

I have tried cleaning my nasal passages everyday using Neti-Pot or Neilmed nasal cleaner (running salt water through my nose).  It helps a little bit, however it does not solve my mucus issue.

What changes I did in my eating habit 

I read, watched lots of videos on Youtube and documentaries. I came across a documentary about Paleo.  Paleo is basically an idea of how to eat healthy.  I also watched a life changing documentary called 'In Defense of Food'. I learned a lot.

I have spent days doing my research. And I would like to make this blog to quickly summarize the key points I have learned that is TRUE and I have experienced to be working well for me.

1. Americans eat too much processed food.

I actually don't eat too much canned food, junk food or fast food. But I am guilty of eating sausages, cookies, chips, etc... Yes most food (processed) in factories are bad for you.

2. We (most culture / race) eats too much carbohydrates, which turns to sugar and fat when there are excess of them.

Carbohydrates is not bad for human, however I ate way too much for the last 40 years. Almost every lunch and dinner I have had consists of 70% rice and 30% other food.  I am Asian, I love rice but it is crazy to think how much rice I have consumed throughout my life!  At most I should have only consumed about 10% carbohydrate in my daily diet.  White rice contains NO NUTRIENTS, just carbs. My body has been consuming 70% carbs out of every meal for 40 years?!? Wow. I think this is why healthy people avoid gluten?

3. The water we drink (tap water) is really bad for us.

Tap water is generally bad to drink and bad for your health because it contains too much chemicals and inorganic minerals. Filtering tap water helps but it is still far from drinking good clean water. Distilled water (water cleanned by means of evaporation + condensation) is the cleanest and purest water. There are many conflicting opinions about distilled water being bad for you, however there is no argument about it being pure and clean. So the perfect solution for drinking healthy water is to add good organic mineral to your distilled water.

How 'eating healthy' impacts my life

In one word, INCREDIBLE. I am a software engineer by trade. I am not a nutritionist or health freak. I used to laugh at people who only buys organics, non-gmo and anti-gluten. But the fact and evidence was so overwhelming about all the bad things we eat.  And now after I have tried this for 2 months, I am living proof of the transformation and benefits anybody can do also.

I have lost about 20 pounds within 2 months. No fat-burners, no drugs, just by eating right.

My mucus and constant congestion issue has disappeared.

My urine and fecal matter smells normal. Even when I pass gas, I don't smell anything.

More energy! I don't get tired mid-day, I don't experience any highs and lows. Just good stable energy.

Focus and Clarity! I am a programmer and I need to focus when I work. I feel a significant difference in mental clarity.

Easy to remember rule of thumb for eating healthy

I will write more blogs to explain many things I have learned in detail. This is my first blog about eating healthy. I plan to write a lot more.

1. Eat 'REAL' food.

2. Don't each too much

3. Eat mostly plants

4. Drink mineralized distilled water
