Water is the most important thing you take into your body. Your body is 60-75% water, depending on your hydration and muscle mass. We are told to drink half our body weight in ounces of water per day, to fully hydrate and flush toxins out. Unfortunately, water quality is a major issue in our country and is a source of toxins and cancer-causing compounds. Flint, Michigan made headlines with the dangerously high lead levels in their water, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
The Environmental Working Group found 50,000 US public water systems are contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals. If you want to see how contaminated yours is, go to their National Tap Water Database and enter your zip code for the report.
