The number one thing that I tell my clients and just about everyone else is to first and foremost DRINK MORE WATER! Take your body weight, divide it in half…that equals approximately how many ounces of water your body needs each day.
We can all benefit from drinking more water, but before you
go chugging water from the tap or even from most bottled water, know that there
is a known toxin that may be lurking in it.
FLUORIDE.
It has
been established that fluoride has the ability to alter your endocrine
function, yet this fact is being ignored by the agencies and associations that
continue to promote the practice of water fluoridation. Consuming
it internally allows this known toxin into our delicate tissues and puts our
bodies at very serious risks. It is beneficial to avoid fluoride as much as
possible. Here are a few ways:
Buy toothpaste from a health
food store that is fluoride free – my favorite is Auromere,
but there are quite a few other fluoride-free brands.
Choose smaller coldwater fish such as
salmon and halibut that usually have less mercury.

| My Berkey! |
Avoid tap water, which is
full of fluorine and chlorine. Both these chemicals can inhibit your bodies
ability to absorb iodine.
Unfortunately, even most bottled water contains it and a store bought Brita or Pur filter
will NOT do the trick. If you’re looking
for a filter for crystal clean filtered water, purchase a Berkey! I’ve got one and LOVE it. It’s affordable, pretty in my kitchen and
simple to use. I have to change the
filters maybe twice a year for the size I have. It’s
well worth it and now I know I’m ingesting just
water when I drink and cook with it.
Most importantly, get active. Call your town to find out if your water supply is fluoridated, and express your concern for it. Write letters, attend local meetings, spread the word to others...let's all work towards getting this harmful toxin OUT of our precious water supply.
You, your family and your pets deserve the best water there is!
