CLEAN WATER

CLEAN WATER

Clean, high quality water is essential for well-being and health. Depending on where you live, the tap water can be of higher or lower quality. When I spent time in Malta and Sicily, I didn't want to buy heavy and pricey glass bottles, or water that had sat in plastic bottles for a long time. I really like TAPP Water's stylish and practical solutions for in the home, and Bachgold's portable filter for travel and outdoors.

• For myself I bought the PitcherPro, a glass pitcher with a filter on top that filters water as you pour. It looks nice, works well, is easy to use, and portable. :)

• My parents bought a faucet filter (because they move around less than me) EcoPro SMR. In my opinion it blends well with the faucet itself, and its easy to switch between "regular" tap water and the filter. You can also buy the slightly cheaper EcoPro in the white design.

• When I travel I don't like to carry the class PitcherPro, so instead I use the water filter by Bachgold to filter tap water, e.g. in Sri Lanka. I use the Bachgold XL water filter (800ml) for pretty much all my drinking water when I travel (which is 90% of the year ;) ). If you're travelling as much as I do, it might make sense stocking up on a subsitute filter cartridge while you can (i.e. while you're somewhere they deliver to), although one cartridge goes a long way.

I also like the container I keep my water in to contribute to it positively.

• In Ayurveda, storing water in copper vessels is considered beneficial for digestion, immunity and for purifying water due to copper's antibacterial properties. Copper is also an essential trace mineral and drinking water from copper vessels is said to support keeping the body in balance. I also love my copper drinking bottle for aesthetic reasons, I think it is really beautiful. I have this one. Beware, copper can "bruise" (dent - its a soft metal) easily so treat with care :)

• You can also add small crystals in water to energise it with the properties/frequency of those crystals. Shungite has proven to actually cleanse water of toxins; in fact I noticed that a day-old tea in a cup with shungite remained fresh-tasting, while day-old tea in a cup without it had that slightly soapy, off taste of too-old tea. Elite shungite such as this one has the strongest cleansing properties. If you're interested, I recommend researching it a bit further and trying it. :) You can add the stone to any regular water bottle (that's what I do).

• Finally, I love this huge thermos I bought some years back: it keeps drinks wonderfully warm, the insides are all stainless steal (so your hot water doesn't touch plastic) and there's a removable mesh on top that is great if you put loose tea or herbs in it - so they can soak and when you pour it holds the loose tea back/out of your cup. High quality for a very good price, I think.
