INDULGENCES work out with martin alonzo Good, clean water is a scarcity nowadays;
All Water
is Not Created Equal
water that is filled with life-nurturing properties like minerals is near extinction. Before the mid 80s, if you were to have said, “Soon people will be buying potable water from a store because the water from the tap is not suitable for con- sumption,” they would probably have thought you were crazy. Today it is an everyday reality. The destruction to our ecosystem created by human greed and overpopulation has led us to a society dependent on water that has been sanitized and shipped from across the states and across the globe; further promoting the destruction of our land and waterways as well as the use of pollutants like hydrocarbons (fossil fuels) a process that is in direct conflict with the very ideology that some companies try to promote on their plastic bottles (green, eco-friendly). Not only is our water not potable, over 90 percent of the water that is for sale is demineralized crap filled with estrogenic compounds. This coincides with our record number
amount of degenerative diseases never before seen in human history like those of the skel- etal system (osteoperodic) and reproductive system (endocrine). On the same side of the fence is the “sports drink” industry. “Sports” or “energy” drinks are essentially a combination of sanitized water devoid of all natural minerals (if it ever had any at all) fortified with unusable and destructive synthetic vitamins, sugars and more chemical stabilizers. The only energy any- one is getting from these fallacies of nutritional betterment is a sugar or caffeine high. There is absolutely no health benefit in any of these products that promotes an increase in physical performance, quicker recovery, more nutrients, more absorbable than water, etc. It is simply a business tactic created for the goal of revenues... not health. The only water that human beings can utilize with the benefit of health comes from nature. Mineralization is what happens to rain water as it flows through rocks and sedi- ment; this is what humans have been drinking for millennia, and this is why our bodies are so dependent on minerals. In today’s society it is very hard to find anything, especially water, that actually provides nutrients for your body. My two recommendations are to either buy high quality artesian water (which will not be from anywhere local so this is not eco-friendly) or utilize a local water provider that uses a reverse osmosis system and re-mineralize it yourself with a high-quality Celtic Sea Salt. Don’t fall for ads and gimmetry by supplement companies that focus on human naivety, not science.
