Proper Hydration During Exercise

Guest Author — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 02:19:26 +0000

You may always hear that water is important in order for us to live but you may not know exactly how it affects our body’s daily function. Second to oxygen, our body needs water to survive. We know that our body is composed of more than 70% water, making it the most important nutrient for the human body. In fact, research also shows that our brains are made up of over 80% water! See how important water is?

Since our body is composed mostly of water, it is but, necessary that we take in enough amount of it to support our daily physical activities. Water plays a vital role in transporting oxygen throughout the cells of the body. Thus, drinking water regularly replenishes your body and keeps it well hydrated and fully functioning.

Clearly, water plays an important role in our health. However, water nowadays has been replaced in most diets by soft drinks and other sugar-sweetened refreshments that don’t replenish the nutrients that our body needs. Those who drink beverages with alcohol and caffeine, which are diuretics, also need to drink more water to compensate for the loss. So we should keep in mind that water is healthier and it is necessary for leading ourselves towards a better health and a longer life.

It is not surprising then that nutrition authorities advise us to take eight 8-ounce of water daily. It is imperative however, to know that everyone’s need for water can vary greatly due to exercise, weight and temperature. The greater the weight, the greater also is the body’s need for water. You can check it by dividing your weight in pounds by two and the answer in ounce will be your body’s daily requirement of water. Say, for example, you weigh 200 pounds; your body’s daily water requirement will be 100 ounces.

When you exercise, your body needs more water than when you don’t. This is for because, during exercise, your body loses some amount of water through sweating. According to some research, for each pound lost when exercising, you need to drink 2 cups of water. The more intensely you exercise, the more important it is to drink more water. However, our body also loses some amount of water even when we are asleep. Hence, it is advisable to drink at least one glass of water before going to bed.

Additionally, some illnesses like diarrhea can make you dehydrated quite more quickly. So you should be drinking more water during these times. Other factors can affect how much water you need as well. High heat and humidity conditions can make you lose more water through perspiration, so additional water may be required.

Thus, whatever you do and wherever you go, always bring a bottle of water with you. Increase your water intake throughout the day. When exercising, be sure to have plenty of water on hand. If you’re doing a strenuous workout, you’ll surely need more water overall than your daily requirement. So, always make it a habit to drink water regularly for a healthier mind and a stronger body.

Under Sink Water Filters For Great Tasting Water

Guest Author — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 13:21:18 +0000

While water sold in bottles may have a great taste, there is a new concern about the effect of plastic on the quality of the water. Tap water can avoid the plastic bottle problem, but comes with its own set of problems including taste, chlorine and the possibility of other contaminates, either bacterial or chemical. Using water filters, one can have the best of both with clean water that has a great taste for drinking or other purposes.

There are several methods of treating water available for in home use. They include filtering pitchers, on the tap filters and under the sink filters. While more expensive, the under sink filters provide a constant supply of clean water and require less maintenance.

The filters using pitchers are an inexpensive solution, but require replacement of the filters on a regular basis to avoid clogging and slow drip. One filter will generally last for a month and one is limited to the amount of water filtered at a time by the size of the pitcher. Since the only pressure moving the water through the filter is gravity, filters that start to get plugged may stop flowing.

Tap filters installed use household water pressure to force water though the filter. They offer a switch that allows normal tap water to filter more water than a pitcher and provide water for purposes other than drinking. These systems are generally about the same cost as for the drip through filters. Some users complain that the water from the tap filter does not taste as good as that from a drip pitcher.

Filters installed under the sink have the capacity to filter more water. Additionally, these filters may be selected in such a way that any problem materials are removed from the water. These filters can treat a larger volume of water than either other system and this system offers water that tastes great at practically any time it is needed.

Under the sink water filters are an effective way to treat tap water before consumption. The filtration process can result in better tasting water that is free of trace chemicals and bacteria that could cause illness.

Whole House Reverse Osmosis System, Who Really Needs One?

Guest Author — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 20:40:00 +0000

Since reverse osmosis technology was patented in the late 60′s and early 70′s by Minnesota based Osmonics and San Diego based Water Factory Systems, under sink ultrapure water systems are being used by millions of Americans and the consideration for whole house reverse osmosis systems is growing. The environmental impact of reverse osmosis systems may outweigh the benefits and should be considered by people interested in the technology.

Two types of water are produced from the reverse osmosis process of forcing water through a membrane, the “permeate” water, which is the water we consume and the “concentrate” which is the wastewater produced during the process. The “permeate” water by scientific definition is ultrapure water but it is low in total dissolved solids (TDS), has a low pH and is extremely corrosive. The “permeate” water while free of metals after the membrane such as iron, sodium, manganese, chloride and calcium, results in a 98% reduction in the solid levels when configured properly. The membrane discharges the “permeate” or treated water into a holding tank that is low pressure and the water level is controlled by either a float or level switch. The treated water is then delivered to the plumbing lines of the house by a secondary repressure pump (not part of the RO equipment). The repressure pump and the RO treatment pump both demand high amperage and voltage giving the reverse osmosis system the highest usage of kilowatt power in the market of whole house water treatment.

The high electrical usage is further increased by the need for a full pretreatment system needing to be installed ahead of an RO membrane, often involving a water softener, iron filter, carbon filter or in most cases all of them. The environmental issues and the need to own a full treatment system as a pretreatment leads responsible professionals to soft sell RO’s. RO membranes are costly to replace and are easily damaged or scaled up if the pretreatment system is absent or fouled. Anyone who has owned a water softener knows this is not an occasional occurrence.

There is a focus on three issues that have put reverse osmosis systems under intense scrutiny in the US by both environmental organizations and state regulators: 1. The energy use of reverse osmosis systems being so high. 2. The high (25-75%) waste of water. 3. The salinity and chloride discharge from both the salt based pretreatment system and the RO concentrate water.

Another Twin Cities Minnesota manufacturer claims a non-salt pretreatment system for both whole house and commercial RO applications and has been installing them as a package since 1995. “Since the mid 1990′s we have eliminated both the water softener and the iron filter in reverse osmosis applications. We have done so with a longer membrane life, fewer scaling issues at the membrane and a less corrosive final water,” said Larry Couture, Chief Technology Officer for the Twin Cities manufacturer.

The chemical free technology eliminates the need for salt softening by basically converting the calcium to a bicarbonate or soluble form. The system filters the iron and manganese regardless of the pH of the source water and no there is no sodium for calcium ion exchange to occur. The need for an RO system is completely eliminated in most case by their system, states Couture. If the chloride or sodium levels exceed 1,700 ppm would be the only time he would recommend the use of a reverse osmosis system. Usually coastal or brine intruded from the ocean or natural gas and oil exploration, these waters are rare.

Couture explained that he has recommended under sink reverse osmosis on rare occasions with their proprietary zero salt whole house systems, usually when treating lake water but their primary purpose has been to remove sodium from a water softener.

For those who require a whole house reverse osmosis system with high chloride levels in their source water it is essential to: 1. Buy an reverse osmosis system that is 95% or higher. 2. Buy equipment that produces at least three gallons of “permeate” usable water for every gallon of “concentrate” or waster water, 75% efficient equipment and upwards. 3. Purchase a non-salt pretreatment system. 4. Examine all equipment monthly and change out membranes annually. 5. Purchase a back up, second set of membranes or otherwise a complete second system.

Couture tells people “We can always add a reverse osmosis system later but if you’re on the edge of horrible source water we recommend you try our non chemical, non salt pretreatment system as a stand alone system for a month or two, living with the water first.

Types Of Drinking Water Filter Systems

Guest Author — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 10:49:58 +0000

For both improved taste and health reasons, many people choose to filter their drinking water. Rarely is it necessary to filter your drinking water, except for extreme cases such as those that cause well water impurities, but the desire to filter water for drinking is often a matter of taste. Filtering your drinking water can improve the taste of the water by filtering out chemicals and impurities. There are several different types of drinking water filter systems ideal for most any situation.

Water filters can be installed at the source of water, like the kitchen sink or refrigerator, or can be part of a whole house water filter system. Besides improved water taste, there are several other benefits to be had with a whole house system, including minimizing chemicals that affect hair, skin, and clothes through washing. If drinking water is your only concern, then either type of system will work.

The most common type of filtration system uses the carbon block filter. Carbon is a remarkably absorbent substance. Both granular activate carbon (GAC) and powdered block carbon are effective carbon block filters. Carbon filters are usually rated by an indication of particle reduction – the lower the number, the more effective the filter. Carbon block filters are the most common type of filter used in faucet, counter top or under-the-counter water filtration systems. Effective carbon filtration depends largely on the amount of carbon present and the amount of time particles spend in contact with it.

Another type of water filter is known as inline water filtration. Inline water filters are attached directly to the water line. These are useful filter types for refrigerators with automatic ice makers and built-in water dispensers. Inline water filters are also used as part of a whole house water filtration system because they can be attached directly to the plumbing line.

An entirely different type of water filtration is reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis (RO) filtration utilizes two membranes through which the water passes. Pressure is applied to one side, resulting in a separation of unwanted substances from the water. The filtered water passes through to the other side, minus its contaminants, and then out to the faucet or water line.

Less common, but just as viable, are filtration systems using more modern technology, including ionized water filters, infra-red filters and magnetic filtration. Other types of filtration are plausible and some systems are employed in emergency situations and third world countries where drinking water poses legitimate health hazards due to contaminants and disease. These types of filtration systems are far less common in households in developing countries.

Regardless of the type of filtration you use, there are several ways to approach a filtration system specifically for drinking water. You can choose to install a faucet water filter, filtering only the water that passes through that faucet or you might choose to install an under-the-sink filtration system and filter all the water that comes through the water line. This might be effective if you have a dishwasher and want to use filtered water for cleaning as well. Many people elect to filter the water on their refrigerator and use it exclusively for drinking water. Another drinking water filter option is a water filter pitcher.

There are several reasons to consider the type of drinking water filtration you use. Consider the practicality of installing the various types, including availability, frequency and cost of replacement filters, the cost of long-term maintenance and whether you need to filter drinking water only or all water coming in to the house. In some cases, homeowners find it best to use two or more filters at various sources, such as the kitchen sink and the refrigerator. Compare individual filtration options with an inline or whole house option if you are planning to filter different water sources.

Comparing filtration types is one way to get the most economical filtered drinking water but also keep in mind that if you buy bottled water for drinking, you can cut that cost out of your budget once you have a drinking water filtration system in place at home. In some cases, it’s less expensive to filter water than to continue buying it, and home filtered drinking water is more environmentally friendly as well. Simply buy stainless steel re-useable water bottles and fill them at home.

Water Filters Fast carries a stunning array of water filters and refrigerator water filters for all of your home and business water filtration needs.

A Quick Overview Of Bottled Water Delivery

Guest Author — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 18:01:02 +0000

The bottled water industry has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent decades. Many people prefer it to tap water, but do not like the effort it takes to supply their needs. It is much easier to have a bottled water delivery service make regular visits to bring the water to the home, and the price is often less than what the stores charge.

Spring water still contains whatever minerals were present when it was bottled at its source. By definition, spring water is supposed to be from an underground spring that flows to the surface naturally. It usually has more taste than distilled water, but a great deal of its flavor will depend on its source.

Mineral water must, by law, contain a minimum 250 parts per million of dissolved minerals. These minerals have to be natural, and no additional minerals can be added as part of the bottling process. Because each source will contain different combinations of minerals, taste can vary a great deal.

Water can also be bottled from artesian springs or wells. These are from a natural underground reservoir. The water may surface in a spring or from a drilled well. Like mineral water, the taste varies by source.

Like many other types of bottled water, there is no fixed requirement for glacier water. However, it is assumed to be water from a natural spring originating in a glacier. Most is bottled at the source. Glacier water usually has an extremely clean, crisp taste that is not as bland as distilled but not as strong as mineral.

After deciding on a type, you will also need to decide on the size of the individual bottles you need to order and in what quantity. Most bottled water delivery services make home deliveries monthly. If you are ordering the large bottles, they are usually available in three gallon or five gallon jugs. Smaller bottles are typically available in several sizes from eight ounces to one liter. You can also rent or buy a cooler or stand to hold the large bottles that will let you have a hot or cold drink instantly.
