What kind of water should we drink?

Purified?  Mineral?  Alkaline?  Bottled?  Distilled?  Spring?  Electrolyte?

The best water is CLEAN water!

And, the best performing filters are reverse osmosis filters.

Charcoal and ceramic filters can harbor pathogenic microbial life.  Your water pitcher filter can grow mold and mildews that get into your drinking water!  Ceramic filters can contain toxic minerals that leach into water.

Perfectly clean water is slightly acidic.  This is not a concern because it doesn’t affect your body’s pH.  You don’t need alkalizing mineral drops or baking soda and you don’t need to buy alkaline water.   Alkaline water has minerals added to it to make it alkaline.  These are useless inorganic minerals that your body doesn’t metabolize or utilize.  Instead, you should be getting your minerals in an organic form from eating fruits and vegetables and seafood.

Consider a countertop reverse osmosis filter if you want the purification powder of reverse osmosis but do not want to modify plumbing.  I prefer the APEC ROCT Plus countertop system.  It is compact and easy to use and utilizes a UV filter for extra antimicrobial action.  Plug it in and it’s ready to work!
