If you drink tap water, I hope you have heard about the many recent problems associated with municipal water. As a general rule, the water that comes from the tap might or might not be safe for us. The water always has chlorine, and in some cases, is quite large amounts and in many cases is not safe water to drink. It is widely known that chlorine is very bad for us, especially in large quantities and over a long period of time. Tap water also can contain large amounts of heavy metals, like Lead and Mercury. These metals are especially dangerous for children, elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
What do I do?
For starters, quit drinking tap water on a regular basis. You will realize after not drinking the water for an extended period, when you go back and drink it again it will smell like chlorine and will have a bad taste. You need to immediately begin using water filters everywhere you go. Get some water filters for the house and for the refrigerator. When you are at work, traveling, or at the gym, make sure you get a water filter bottle. These personal water filters can be filled up with ordinary tap water and the filter inside will filter your water as you drink.
