Acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive symptoms affecting millions of people each year. While there are many over-the-counter and prescription medications available , many people prefer to use natural remedies and explore root causes for these unpleasant symptoms.

Have you ever heard this, that hard water is good for our bones, yet soft water is better for our skin? There is a raft of rather confusing information for us to make sense of.  What is not a secret is that water is an essential element of human life. As the body excretes various amounts of water through sweat, urination and even breathing, your body needs to constantly replenish those fluids. In fact, we would only survive without fresh water for a matter of days.  

Drinking the right quality and quantity of water is essential for our health. Whether you drink from a tap, bottle, or jug, water is involved in everything from supporting our brain function, to flushing waste from our body, to regulating body temperature. It makes sense, then, that we should ensure the quality of our drinking water is of the highest standard for optimal cellular hydration.

Water – it is the life-preserving compound that every living thing on planet Earth needs to survive. Consistently consuming the best quality and quantity of drinking water will lubricate our joints, regulate our body temperature, support our metabolism, remove waste from our tissues, help improve mood, reduce fatigue and offer many more benefits to keep our bodies functioning at peak efficiency every day.

In the early months of their lives, newborns and babies stick to a purely liquid diet, either in the form of a bottle or breastfeeding. Given the amount and frequency they consume, it can be difficult to imagine they are ever dehydrated, but it can be  very common.

The quality of the foods and liquids we consume plays such an important role in determining how we live our lives. It provides us with energy, helps to maintain the ongoing functions of our organs and internal systems, affects our moods and thought processes – in fact, just about every element of our existence has some relationship with our diets.

We have all heard the old adage, ‘you are what you eat,’ but many of us would be surprised to learn how true that really is. Our gut is an incredibly intricate and complex system within our bodies that has a significant influence on our wider health – so much so, in fact, there is a growing amount of research still being conducted throughout the medical world to determine the extent of that influence.
