Water toxins are contaminants within supplies of drinking water that can cause a range of sicknesses. Toxins can enter drinking water through a number of pathways, including being deposited into lakes, rivers and oceans where they seep into groundwater systems that flow back into wells or reservoirs used both for consumption and irrigation purposes.

With beautiful warm summer weather soon approaching, it is now more important than ever to keep up your fluids with the right quality and quantity of water to ensure that you are staying hydrated during this busy and festive time.

Just like our bodies, all water has a pH (potential hydrogen) level. The pH level is the measurement of hydrogen ions concentration, which uses the acidic/alkaline scale is 0-14. Anything above 7 on the scale is considered alkaline, anything under 7 is acidic.

A variety of health problems can potentially occur when the body is either too alkaline or too acidic. When the body fluids become too acidic, a condition called acidosis develops. Your kidneys and lungs will not be able to regulate the acid levels due to a variety of reasons, causing either respiratory or metabolic acidosis, which can lead to a range of issues including fatigue and drowsiness, headaches, jaundice, and an increased heart rate.
