Optimal health does not need to be complicated.

• Clean Air
• Clean Water
• Clean Food
• Clean Body
• Clean Mind.

Last week I spoke about the importance of clean air and gave you the best resource that I am aware of. This week I want to share with you why you want to drink the cleanest water possible.

No tap water is safe to drink in the United States, IMHO.  You can see for yourself by checking your specific water at The Environmental Working Group.

If you are shocked as I was to find things like Chromium Hexavalent (Remember the movie Erin Brokovich) and other potential carcinogens at up to 444x recommended health guidelines, then you will want to get the best reverse osmosis system you can. Here is the one I use and the taste of the water is AMAZING and there is a sale going on now!

I can smell the chlorine out of the tap water before it is filtered.

Chlorine, like fluoride and bromide, are halogens that compete with iodine, which is essential for your thyroid, your brain, breast, ovaries and prostate.

Kinda want to protect these areas, don’t you agree?

I recommend that you drink plenty of clean filtered water to flush out toxins (like from wildfires and mold!). We don’t need to drink toxins either!

So what’s commonly found in tap water?

Arsenic was detected in the water of 107 million Americans

Chromium 6 (Hexavalent chromium) was found in the tap water of more than 247 million Americans. This means that 3 out of every 4 Americans have a known carcinogen in their tap water.

Have you known a friend or loved one with cancer? Friends, this is something so simple that you can actually do something about it! Please address this hidden stressor to protect yourself and your family now. Don’t do what I did with my air conditioner and wait until you have a physical illness, your home is flooded, and you have black mold in the house.

Other common contaminants with health risks include:

• Chlorine, chloramine, Trihalomethanes
• Flouride (intentionally put in)
• Lead (comes from the infrastructure)
• Jet Fuel
• Antibiotics
• Birth Control
• PFAS & PFOAS (the forever chemicals)

What you eat, think, and do will determine how you feel tomorrow. Please consider protecting your health by simply filtering your air and your water. You don’t have to use the products I use, there are many options and you can find listings on www.ewg.org

I have lost too many friends and loved ones to cancer and our children are the first generation in history that are not expected to live as long. I am on a mission to change this trajectory.

Here’s to your health.
