Today we are talking about water. Yes, you heard me right H2O. You know I am a huge fan of getting more than your daily allowance for the clear stuff. I mean water, not Gin. This got me thinking. I have never shared with you a list of reasons why water is so important to you.
Before I do that. This post is inspired by an amazing product I was sent to review.
This is the Zerowater 12 cup water filter jug, This Jug is amazing. It filters impurities from the water making it crystal clear and tasting super crisp and delicious.
What the brand says.
Unlike other leading water filter jugs, ZeroWater benefits from a patented, 5-stage Ion Exchange Filtration system which removes virtually all dissolved solids from your water. This provides great tasting water without the dissolved solids which may include Minerals, Salts, Metals, Chemicals and Runoff. Moreover, it reduces 99% of all Fluoride and other inorganics, such as Nitrates, from your water. Four additional stages of water filtration ensure larger particles and other contaminants are removed, ensuring the filter delivers a “000” reading on the included laboratory-grade water quality meter.
Zerowater has also partnered with National tea day to promote the benefits of using filtered water in your tea. When you make tea with this jug it comes out clearer than I have ever seen and the taste of the tea is more defined.
Now let's talk about the benefits of water in your life. There are so many different studies on how much water we should consume in a day. I personally aim for half a gallon, above and beyond anything else I drink. This will of course change on training days where I drink more.
