Well Water – Most well water is safe to drink, but it is incredibly important to always test well water before drinking it. If there are chemicals or bacteria present, it could get you sick. Well water has some great benefits in the form of minerals and the lack of chemicals present in tap water.

If you are concerned that water may be unsafe to drink and you don’t have the means for testing, boil questionable water before consumption.

Spring Water/Mineral Water – You can get far more calcium and magnesium from drinking bottled mineral water than from drinking tap water from the faucet. Bottled water is regulated by the FDA to meet specific safety standards when it is bottled and sealed: ensuring it is safe to drink.

Purified Water – Purified water goes through a filtration and purification process that removes all contaminants and chemicals from the water before bottling, making it quite safe to drink.

Distilled Water – You can drink distilled water, although it has a different taste than other water sources because it lacks all minerals such as the calcium and magnesium present in both tap water and spring water sources.

Sparkling Water – Drinking sparkling water does not provide the same harmful effects on teeth that most carbonated beverages do, sources report – making it great for people who like a little bubble in their drink. Do be careful with carbonation though as it can have a lasting impact on the kidneys.

Alkaline Water – What makes water alkaline? A high PH level. Studies have been done testing the effects of drinking Alkaline water to combat acid reflux symptoms and research is still very active to determine the true nature Alkaline water has on acid and our bodies.

The truth of the matter is that if you’re drinking water every day, you’re already on the right track. Try to follow the 8×8 rule and set a goal to drink eight 8oz glasses (half a gallon) daily to keep your body hydrated and happy.

Getting a cold drink from the garden hose on a hot summer’s day might strike a chord of nostalgia in some people’s minds. It used to be the norm and you may hear people claiming they used to drink from the garden hose and they turned out just fine. However, you shouldn’t drink water from your garden hose anymore. Below, we detail a few reasons why.

Regulations and Awareness

“We used to do it all the time!” Isn’t a good reason to keep doing things. Doctors used to smoke in their exam rooms and people used to drive without seat belts. It’s true that people used to drink from the garden hose all the time however water out of the garden hose was different when they were growing up.

The FDA regulates water to help keep the public healthy and water from the garden hose just doesn’t make the cut anymore.

Cleanliness is an Issue

First of all, there are plenty of critters  and bacteria that can make camp in your garden hose since it lives outside or in a garage or shed all the time. Waterborne bacterial infections can be easily transmitted through the water flow of your hose. Water from the hose may also contain chemicals that may not otherwise be present in tap water or bottled water. Your hose itself is made up of plastics and heavy metals that should never be ingested. Small pieces of debris from the hose are easily dislodged and could end up making you very sick over time. The pipes that carry water to your hoses aren’t necessarily up to code for drinking water and can also carry toxins and other dangerous elements.

Conclusion

It might be convenient on a hot day to take a sip from the hose but think twice before indulging in this nostalgic activity. Contact us today to get Silver Springs water delivered to your home so you have clean, fresh water at your fingertips all summer long!

There is one primary difference between tap water and Alkaline water, and that is that Alkaline water has less acidity. It is called Alkaline because it contains the following metal compounds: Calcium, Silica, Potassium, Magnesium, and Bicarbonate.

You can achieve Alkaline water via two methods. The first – and natural method – is through water that has passed over rocks and picked up minerals before being bottled. The second method is Electrolysis: in which an ionizer will raise the pH level of regular tap water to make it more alkaline.

Alkaline water has been recommended to people who experience severe acidity as it can help to neutralize the acid in the body. Studies have shown that drinking certain Alkaline waters can have a positive effect on acid reflux. The study is made available by the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health.

Another study has shown that drinking Alkaline water after a workout can help blood flow more efficiently through the body and deliver oxygen more effectively. The study is made available by the BMC.

Should you be drinking Alkaline Water?

It is widely accepted as safe to drink Alkaline water as it contains natural minerals, and many professionals say it’s a welcome addition to your normal water intake for a healthy lifestyle.

Medical professionals do warn against drinking too much Alkaline water and driving up the pH in the body too high – especially if you experience an underactive parathyroid gland – as this can result in a condition known as Alkalosis that causes confusion, nausea, vomiting, and tremors.

Understanding that water constitutes 65% of your overall body weight should be reason enough to keep downing those eight 8oz glasses of water daily. Having enough water on board becomes even more important when you realize that your brain is composed of 70% water, your blood is 80% water and your lungs are 90% water. An adequate amount of daily fluid intake is necessary for body systems to work normally or to even keep working at all.

Water is essential for all functions in your body. It dissolves and carries nutrients to your cells, maintains the proper balance of chemicals in and around those cells and collects waste products to be excreted from the body. Water is always being removed from your body by processes such as sweating, digestion and waste elimination so it is important to have it replenished on a consistent basis.

All of the fluid in your body is provided by what you drink and the foods you eat. The common recommendation is to drink 48 ounces of water per day. Most people don’t realize that many solid foods are also a significant source of water. Fruits and vegetables can contain up to 90% water and meats contain over 50% water. It’s not all good news about food and fluid intake though. Some of what you take in will actually reduce fluid levels rather than increase them. Substances such as the caffeine in coffee act as diuretics and stimulate the body to remove water in the form of urine.

Signs Of Dehydration.

Dehydration in simple terms is a condition that occurs when the body does not have enough fluids. This condition can develop gradually or rather suddenly. It can be the result of lack of sufficient water intake because of poor hydration habits or it can result from excessive loss of of water due to factors such as diarrhea, vomiting or strenuous exercise. Symptoms of dehydration run the gamut from inconvenient and uncomfortable to serious and life threatening. Common signs of dehydration are listed below.

• Urine output will be decreased and will likely be darker in color and have a stronger odor.
• A pinched fold of skin on the back of the hand will not quickly return back to its original position because moisture is needed for elasticity.
• Your mouth may feel dry or sticky because fluids get conserved and sent to vital organs.
• Your eyes may feel itchy and scratchy because moisture is not replenished.
• Your joints may feel stiff and ache because lubrication is decreased.
• Muscle cramps may occur due to electrolyte imbalances related to reduced fluids or due to decreases in sodium levels from excessive perspiration.
• A dehydrated brain may lead to confusion, irritability, dizziness, fatigue and headaches.
• Fluctuations in blood pressure may occur. As blood volume is reduced blood pressure drops. The body then compensates by producing chemicals that constrict blood vessels thereby causing a rebound rise in blood pressure.

Populations At Risk For Dehydration.

Children and babies can become dehydrated very quickly, especially when ill. This is because their bodies actually have a higher percentage of water as body weight and they metabolize electrolytes more rapidly. Seniors often have a reduced sense of thirst, less ability to conserve water and are more likely to be on medication such as a diuretic that effects fluid levels. Dehydration is the most frequent reason why seniors are hospitalized. Individuals with chronic illnesses such as kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, alcoholism and adrenal gland disorders are at higher risk as well. And finally, people who live in high altitudes (>8,000ft) have increased risk because of the way the body adapts to altitude by increasing urine output and increasing respiration (breathing) rate.

Too Much Of A Good Thing.

Your body can only absorb about one quart of fluid per hour. Drinking excessive amounts of water in a short period of time is not only inefficient, it can be counterproductive or dangerous. Water intoxication occurs when there is too much fluid in the cells and tissues of the body. This can be the result of drinking too much water, kidney dysfunction or insufficient elimination of water. Water intoxication can be serious and may result in swelling, confusion, seizures and even death. College students have been known to die due to being forced to drink excessive amounts of water during initiation rites.

Tips For Keeping Hydrated.

• Do start drinking water early in the day. It is a quick energizer and starts the habit for the day.
• Do drink steadily throughout the day. Large consumption of water is inefficient. The body can only absorb about one quart of water per hour.
• Do adjust your water intake for special circumstances that may decrease hydration such as sweating during hot days, physical labor or strenuous exercise.
• Do drink plenty of water after a massage as toxins can be released and need to be flushed from your system.
• Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. By the time you feel thirsty you are already in the early stages of dehydration.
• Don’t drink a lot of coffee or caffeinated sodas. They act as diuretics and remove more fluid than they provide.
• Don’t drink excessive amounts of water. Even drinking two gallons of water in a day can begin to flush out needed substances like vitamins and minerals. Rapid excessive water intake can also lead to water intoxication resulting in confusion, seizures or even death.

Water is the all-important elixir that keeps your body alive. You may be able to live up to 30 days without food but you will only survive 3 to 5 days without water. Your body uses water for almost every function from dissolving and transporting valuable nutrients to keeping you free from toxins by getting rid of the waste products that your body does not need. So do yourself a favor, fill up that glass and begin the healthy habit of consuming eight glasses of water a day.

When seeking ways to keep your New Year’s weight-loss resolution, rethink your original plan. When people have trouble reaching a weight-loss goal, more often than not the diet was too strict. Give yourself a little more leeway when it comes to snacks, and do not be too hard on yourself if you backpedal now and then. The word diet indicates a temporary change. Update your New Year’s weight-loss resolution for long-term success. It should be one that you can live with indefinitely, especially if you want long-lasting results.

Opt for Moderation Instead of Deprivation

Strict diets can be adhered to for a while, but they soon get old. Many people give up on their New Year’s weight-loss resolution because they feel deprived. They begin feeling sorry for themselves and go right back to mindlessly eating whatever looks good. Give yourself permission to have small daily treats. Opt for moderation instead of deprivation. A lifestyle change will be much easier when you do not feel denied. As long as you are not restricted because of a medical condition, you can have anything that you want within moderation.

Start Keeping a Calorie and Exercise Journal

Were you keeping track of your caloric intake and physical activities when you began losing confidence in your weight-loss plan? If not, you should be noting every calorie consumed and every physical activity. When considering calories, think of a checking account. Imagine your caloric intake as deposits and expended calories as debits, but unlike a checking account, excess credits are not good. Those that are not burned off will accumulate on the body in the form of fat. Determine how many calories you should consume each day, and start keeping a calorie and exercise journal. You will be able to see how many calories you are actually taking in and how active you really are. The journal will make it easier to make adjustments by increasing accountability. The numbers will not lie unless they are entered incorrectly.

Set Fun and Easy Exercise Goals

Exercise does not have to be painful or monotonous. It does not have to be strenuous to be effective either. When working to keep your New Year’s weight-loss resolution, make it fun. You do not have to join a gym or an exercise class to achieve your goals. Consider buying an interactive game system and games that will encourage you to move. Even if it is too cold to head outdoors, you will burn calories while toning your muscles.
If an exercise game system does not sound ideal, just get up and move for at least 30 minutes each day. Walk briskly in place during television commercials, or dance to your favorite music while completing household chores. Buy an exercise DVD that looks like fun, and get a friend involved while working to keep your New Year’s weight-loss resolution. Any form of movement is better than inactivity. The goal is to burn calories and lose weight, but a fit and toned body is a highly desirable bonus.

Drink More Water

The easiest and quickest way to boost your metabolism is to drink more water. Silver Springs Water provides a no contract, easily scheduled water delivery to San Diego and Las Vegas home and businesses. Ensuring you drink your 64oz of water a day will keep your full and your digestion working at an optimal rate.

Slide the City!

On Saturday, June 4th, residents of Henderson saw a giant water slide take over 1,000 feet of one of their city streets. As part of the City of Henderson’s Slide into Summer! Event, Slide the City set up their signature giant water slide.

Slide the City is an organization that travels all over the country setting up giant water slides for residents to get a break from the summer heat and come together with  community events. 

This was their first time in Southern Nevada.

Lake Mead Levels Drop

The water levels at Southern Nevada’s Lake Mead dropped to all time record lows this past week. Theories and discussions centered around water use reductions from the Colorado River to replenish the reserves of the man-made reservoir have been met with resistance and confusion in some cases.

Lake Mead accounts for most of the water used by residents in Las Vegas and the surrounding cities. Forecasting shows Lake Mead water levels well above where they are now for 2017 so this record low hopefully won’t last long!

Water Technology

Silicon Valley saw a boom in their economy when they become the tech center of the country. Las Vegas is striving to become the “Silicon Valley” of water by focusing on water technology that could benefit many other locations.

Las Vegas is leading the way on water conservation technology to help with the large drought that has been plaguing the city for 16 years. Water conservation efforts create jobs which helps to spark economic growth in the desert city both in technology and in the water industry.

Water Content

Your brain is made up of about 75 percent water. If you are staying hydrated drinking premium water, your brain will have the best water keeping it healthy.

When your brain gets dehydrated it starts to lose some of that water content which can be a scary concept when you know your brain needs water to function properly.

Hydrated Brains Work Better

Proper hydration is critical to high-level cerebral function. Dehydrated people are more likely to have problems with short-term memory as well as general cognitive function. Premium Vegas drinking water is more readily absorbed into your body meaning your body and mind stay hydrated longer. Your entire body needs water to function properly and your brain is an integral part of all the activities you do throughout the day.

Physical exercise requires brain function as does processing language, numbers, and emotions.

Focus

If you’re properly hydrated, your brain no longer has to worry about that primal function.

Your brain can more readily focus on the task at hand, like that big presentation you have to prepare for or the final exam you need to study for, instead of focusing on thirst or survival.

Humans have evolved beyond basic survival instinct because of our ability to focus on other, broader aspects outside our own survival as a species, among other reasons.

The fact that you don’t have to hunt for clean water, and it comes straight from a convenient water cooler, means you can focus on building a business or creating art or any other countless things humans are capable of.

Las Vegas Best Water Future

Growth is a huge part of a city’s economic success and Las Vegas is no different. It is constantly growing and expanding further out into the valley. One major question when the city continues to build is where will it get the water to support all the new people that growth brings to the area. Life requires water and this natural resource must be considered. One opinion is to consider desalinization of seawater and piping it into cities and states that need more than the water readily available in their area.

Water For Growth

New businesses bring new jobs to Las Vegas. New jobs means a stronger economy. No one can deny that strengthening the economy is a great idea but how can the city sustain the water needs of growing businesses? Experts were brought in and determined the state could support more growth in the industrial realm. Between a bunch of water related business jargon, they determined there was a balance between old and new schools of thought on water and how it is regulated.

Global Water Summit

Las Vegas will be host to one of the largest global water summit in the near future where discussions will take place about desalination and economic improvement and the impact those topics have on the city, state, country, and world. People don’t often think about their water infrastructure and, especially in the United States, take the water coming out of their taps for granted. Luckily for us there are people who do think about water and how it impacts our lives!

Fresh, clean water is the best way to stay hydrated.
