A
natural detox starts with hydration. That said, not all water is equal so it’s
important to evaluate the type of water you incorporate into a detox
routine.
Let’s
explore the different types of water and how they can affect your detox
journey:
Tap Water: while generally safe, drinking tap water
during a detox inadvertently introduces some toxins into the body. For
instance, tap water contains chlorine, a disinfectant that kills dangerous
bacteria in water and, as such, long-term exposure to this chemical can
affect your gut flora. Additionally, tap water may contain heavy metals
like lead, cadmium and mercury, which can negatively affect your heart,
brain and kidney health.
Brita Filters: although an ordinary Brita (and all standard
water filters) protects you from chlorine, these filters remove essential
minerals that your body needs to regulate many body functions. While this
is a better choice for a detox than tap water, it isn’t ideal due to its
lack of minerals.
Santevia Filters: Santevia water is the
ideal water to drink during a detox. Santevia has a two-stage filtration
process - in the first stage, Santevia removes harmful contaminants; and
in the second stage it adds back in healthy minerals like calcium,
magnesium, potassium, and zinc, making it ideal for detoxification.
So,
the main question is - how can minerals support your detox journey?
Calcium aids in cellular function and stability, facilitating toxin
processing and removal in the liver and other organs.
Magnesium helps neutralize and eliminate toxins, while also
providing anti-inflammatory and nervous system support.
Potassium maintains fluid balance and cell function, essential for
transporting and eliminating waste products efficiently.
Zinc supports liver health, provides antioxidant protection, and
strengthens the immune system, aiding in the effective detoxification and
reduction of toxin-induced damage.
In
summary, the type of water you choose during a cleanse matters: you want to
ensure it’s free from impurities and rich in minerals.
Minerals
support the body’s detoxification processes by protecting the body against
oxidative stress and by ensuring proper organ function, enzyme activity, and
cellular health. Support your detox journey with Santevia’s filtered
mineralized water and enjoy cleansing, healthy water at home.
