Every human being or rather every being on earth should have access to three things, food, water and air. Inhaling unpolluted pure air, having pure water for drinking and food to sustain your body is not a luxury but undoubtedly a necessity. But unfortunately, in this age of pollution, pure drinking water like puree oxygenated air is a myth. To drink pure water you need to travel to the top of the mountains and drink from the streams there but still there is doubt whether even that would be completely pure. As the air and the environment around has become so polluted, nothing, even the streams high up on the highest mountains are supposedly not spared.

If you are thinking that why am I making a big deal out of pure drinking water being inaccessible to us, when bottled pure drinking mineral water can be found and bought anywhere on this earth? Let me tell you, the water that you drink is not at all the pure water that is being promised to you by the manufacturing company. Everyone today believes that the packaged mineral water that they drink is pure and safe, not like ...
... the average tap water that is infested with germs. But more often than not, that is exactly what you drink, normal tap water. There are laws in place to ensure that the purity of water maintained but in reality there are so many companies manufacturing packaged drinking water all over the world that it is next to impossible to keep tab on them all.

Even if you are fortunate enough to have drunk only packaged pure drinking water, then too you should know how the water is purified and the purification process itself leaves the water impure. Pure drinking water is purified with the help of chlorine. Chlorine helps decontaminate the water of most germs that harms the body but chlorine itself if taken in big quantities can harm human beings. Hence continuous drinking of chlorinated pure water can actually harm you instead of protecting you from water based germs. You must be thinking by now that the only way then is to stop drinking water but as that option as good as invalid, opt for something a little better. Get a filter installed at your home or a portable filter at the mouth of your kitchen tap, the water you get is as good as pure drinking water.
