I knew water was very important when I found out it is part of the six classes of food. Water happens to be very important in our daily lives. It helps our immune system stay active and also helps us stay hydrated. Dehydration could lead to death and also could damage most of our vitals. It is also known that water helps with clear skin. If you see a dermatologist, it will let you know that amidst all the skin care products, water is also essential.
I did my Industrial Training in an industry and I also got to learn about water treatment and also waste water. I was taught about how wastewater could be converted to clean water and the various kinds of water that we have. During my stay in the industry, I was able to carry out tests on different water brands in Nigeria.
It is okay to say that most Bottled water is not ever pure. Most people try to stay healthy by drinking bottled water instead of sachet water because they feel like bottled water has a higher purity than that of sachet water. Funny how when I carried out some tests using the litmus paper that shows if the water is acidic, neutral, or alkaline, some bottled water was not neutral which is supposed to be the accurate point of water.
It is said that Water is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, but then most people drink water and exclaim “This water is very sweet!!” I know it is difficult to get water at 7 points which is a neutral point, but then we try our best to drink and have good water. There are several sources of water but then some of the water gotten from some sources are not drinkable.
When we look at the finances one will spend in purchasing bottled water every day for a month and even a year you will realize that you are spending a lot and most times the water isn’t even clean at all. Most of our country even lacks good water and some parts find it difficult to produce clean water for bathing talk more about drinking.
If there is one step I take to ensure that I drink good water then it is boiling my water. I know this is a difficult process but then this has helped me a lot. I learnt this when I stayed with my Uncle who has a thing for cleanliness. The first thing he those is get water from the drinking tap. Then he will boil the water, after which he will allow the water to cool and then filter it with a water filter. Then he will use his litmus paper to check if the water is clean. Staying with my uncle taught me lots of things. He is rarely sick as he takes his health very seriously.
This way, he can save costs by buying water regularly. But the whole process will take almost a day as after filtering he will have to put them into bottles which he has washed thoroughly. Most times he puts the water into his can and uses his water dispenser. Save costs and stay healthy.
