Water is and always will be an essential gift Mother Nature bestowed to nurture her children. Water has existed since the creation of the Earth, but how did it evolve and end up in a bottle?
The Chronicle of the Commencement of Bottled Water
Since the beginning of human civilization, water was placed on vessels such as sacs made of animal skins meant to hold water for traveling. Water bottling began at the Holly Well in 1621 in the United Kingdom, and since then, bottled water has sparked higher demand.
In the 16th century, bottled water was used in spas as therapy. Since spring water is one of the water sources, people thought bottled water contained minerals and had therapeutic effects that helped relieve diseases and other ailments.
Since then, bottling water has become popular, and the creation of carbonated water that imitates the enthusiasm of spring water has boomed.
Bottled water was also an alternative for certain municipalities to be used as drinking water since the local water supplies were contaminated with pathogens that are the major cause of ailments. Due to this, water filtration and purification processes were created.
The Kickoff of Water Filtration and Purification
Since the creation of bottled water and the knowledge that pathogens always contaminate water and are one of the major causes of illnesses in the family and community, filtration processes have been created to decrease, or better yet, inhibit the occurrence of certain diseases caused by water contamination, such as cholera and typhoid.
To avoid such diseases, what most families did back then to kill the pathogens in water was to boil it to a higher temperature that sometimes doesn’t give you that good taste.
However, there is no guarantee that these pathogens will be killed, and the only way to ensure your safety is to filter and purify your drinking water to its potable state without microorganisms.
Filtration and purification usually have different stages and processes. Some use chemicals and radiation to kill and remove bacteria, and some use ionization and oxidation, a much safer way to do the same action.
These processes ensure no sediments, pathogens, or chemical or pharmaceutical agents are present in drinking water.
Benefits of Drinking Purified Water
Drinking purified water, usually found in bottled water, has many benefits. Filtered and potable bottled water undergo different processes.
Though different kinds of water are stored in bottles—some contain minerals, some are alkaline, some are flavored, and some are carbonated—they all undergo the same process.
Here are a few advantages and benefits of drinking purified water:
- Free from disease-causing pathogens
- Clear from turbidity and sediments
- Keeps you hydrated
- A great source of minerals
- It makes you look younger
- Aids in weight loss
- Free from chemical and pharmaceutical toxins
- Cleanses the body of toxins
- It helps regulate bodily functions
