Benefits of Distilled Water

Distilled water has great benefits to our health and the health of our loved ones. It is void of harmful additives and even has some extra benefits for those who suffer from joint issues, such as arthritis. Below are some of the benefits achieved from drinking distilled water.

Contaminant Reduction

When water is distilled, it removes contaminants found in tap water and some bottled waters. Chlorine is the most common contaminant found in water. It is needed to kill harmful bacteria in tap water, but can cause health problems, such as asthma.

Pesticides

Run off from farms can be introduced to tap water as well as some bottled waters. A certain amount is allowed in our water per the Federal government guidelines. With distilled water, however, all of the pesticides are removed.

Salt and Other Minerals

Most of us have a salt intake that is way above what we should have. Tap water and most bottled waters contain salt. Also, while calcium is good for our bodies, it can settle in our joints if we have an over abundance. Distilled water has great benefits for those who are watching their salt intake or have joint disease such as arthritis. Drinking distilled water is said to actually flush away mineral deposits from joints.
