The difference between water filters and water purifiers

Be the first to comment
Water filters and water purifiers are not the same thing. A water filter usually does nothing for viruses. This is the biggest difference between a water filter and a water purifier. A water purifier is designed to eliminate a host of chemicals and living organisms, which may be missed by water filters alone. The reason why they may be missed is because the smallest or finest size that filters water is set to 0.2 microns. This is too large to prevent the passage of various types of viruses, chemicals and other contaminants. This is why good systems involve both a filtration and purification...

Nutrition facts – what the media is not telling you about super foods

Comments (1)
In years past, it was really true that we could get all of the nutrition we needed from our diets. Back then, the soil was rich and nutritive, and imparted all of its benefits to the food we could grow for ourselves as well. In addition, because food was both seasonal and local, there wasn't much time or distance between when the food was plucked from the ground and when it appeared on our dinner tables.Now, however, times have changed. Not only have our diets themselves become more poor through extreme processing, reliance on fast foods and prepackaged convenience foods, and decreasing...

With today's inadequate American diet, it's no wonder that we're suffering from a host of diseases that could be fixed by a major overhaul, for the most part, in our diets. Gone are the days when most of us could eat it straight from the land, and get all of our nutrition from our diets. Today, we focus increasingly on fast food, processed foods and other things simply to get through our days.Of course, we need more whole foods in our diets, but the point is, do we actually get them? We need at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to be healthy, and we need to cut...
