Spring Water And All Its Benefits
Water is life. The human body is 65% water and it cannot survive without it for any great length of time. We need to give our bodies water several times a day in order to stay healthy. While the body can go 3 weeks without food, it cannot go more than 3 days without water.
Studies show that women need to drink 2.2 litres of water a day while men need 3 litres. The difference is due to the fact that men, on average, have more fat-free body mass and higher expenditure of energy.
What is Spring Water?
Spring water comes from an underground source where water naturally rises to the surface. Although the water must rise to the surface on its own in order to be classified as natural spring water, we collect spring water at the source.

We bottle at one of the best spring sources on earth @ Latitude 49˚ North in Canada called Harrison Mills. Our spring water is then passed through multiple stages of filtration to remove particles and other unwanted elements. Our filters act as cleaning agents and ensure only water passes through. It’s important to note that we don’t alter our spring water in any way. Once it passes through our filtration system, it still has all the natural minerals and qualities that give our water its great taste.
Spring Water Benefits
Spring water provides much needed oxygen to the body and the brain, aids in digestion, helps us maintain a healthy weight, and tastes great. Spring water never tastes flat or boiled. It makes for an excellent drinking experience and one that does wonders for the body.

● Keep a bottle of water with you during the day. To reduce your costs, carry a reusable water bottle and fill it with tap water.
● Drink water before, during, and after a workout.
● When you’re feeling hungry, drink water. Thirst is often confused with hunger. True hunger will not be satisfied by drinking water. Drinking water may also contribute to a healthy weight-loss plan. Some research suggests that drinking water can help you feel full.
● If you have trouble remembering to drink water, drink on a schedule. For example, drink water when you wake up, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and when you go to bed. Or, drink a small glass of water at the beginning of each hour.
● Drink water when you go to a restaurant. It will keep you hydrated, and in most instances, it’s free.
What are the benefits of using glass water bottles?
If you are carrying a reusable water bottle, gold star for you! Now, we’d like you to take that commitment one step forward and up your game from plastic to glass. Protecting your health and caring about the environment are just two of the reasons why you might want to consider switching from plastic water bottles to glass bottles. The latter is not only more eco-friendly, but offers a superior choice for taste, is aesthetically beautiful, and is better for your health.
● Glass bottles keep filtered water fresh and pure without the risk of chemicals contaminating the water.
● Glass bottles are much easier to clean and will retain their clarity after hundreds of washings.
● Even days or weeks after filling up a glass bottle and putting it in your refrigerator, you can enjoy the clean, crisp taste of filtered water with no worries about BPAs and other chemicals leaching into your water.
● Unlike plastic, your glass water bottles will remain crystal clear when you infuse your filtered water with lemons, oranges, limes, and other fruits that cause plastic bottles to become discolored and degrade.
A Few Facts About Disposable Plastic Water Bottles
● The production of one plastic bottle uses energy, omits toxins into the air, and uses more water to produce than the amount of water put inside the bottle for drinking!
● Americans throw away 35 billion plastic water bottles every year.
● About 45% of bottled water brands are sourced from the same municipal water supplies as tap water.
● Manufacturing companies use millions of barrels of oil every year to create plastic bottles. In the U.S. alone, the amount of oil needed to meet this demand is enough to fuel 1.3 million cars every year.
● Only a small percentage of plastic water bottles are recycled after use – on average this equates to just 38 of 167 disposable water bottles. Billions of water bottles go to waste every year, occupying large volumes of landfill and polluting the nation’s waterways.
