Home Water Purifier - Reasons Why You Need A Home Water Purifier For Your Health

Most people believe that just because they live in a developed country with higher standards of living, the water they drink is healthy for them. Nothing could be further from the truth. Little do most people realize it, but the tap water you consume, without a home water purifier, is very harmful for your health.

In investigations done in nearly every city in the Untied States, tap water was found to be contaminated with chemicals for which regulations have never been set. Often times, the biggest sources of contamination are agriculture and pollution.

In fact, in a survey done in 42 different states, 260 difference chemicals were found inside; 141 of which no regulations have been set by the EDA. If you are drinking regular tap water, you are letting all those harmful chemicals and bacteria into your immune system. And this problem is only getting worse as time goes on-heres why.

The pollution levels today are at an all time high. Much of this pollution makes its way into our tap water. Worse yet, most water treatment centers make little effort to these harmful substances out of the water, making tap water dangerous to drink. Remember, there are many different contaminants in the water for which regulations have never been set.

Not only are there many unregulated chemicals that seep into tap water, but facilities are actually required to further contaminate the water by placing fluoride inside. Now, there are certainly people on both sides of this important issue. However, when you consider the facts, fluoride cannot be a good thing.

Think about it: people have lived for thousands of years from natural water, without fluoride and the other harmful substances that are now entering our water systems. If our bodies really need fluoride to survive, how did people survive for all this time with fluoride free water?

Many people make the argument that fluoride is necessary for your teeth, and that without this your teeth will fall out and decay. Again, how did people survive for thousand of years without their teeth falling out minus the so called benefit of fluoride?

The reason is that they ate healthier foods. Now, Im not going to get into a whole discussion on health foods and which are best to for your health. There is plenty written on that subject elsewhere. Just realize that fluoride and other unnatural tooth treatment today have all stemmed from a lack of basic healthy eating habits with the ever increasing amounts of junk food.

Therefore, instead of focusing on the root cause of the problem (lack of healthy eating habits) water authorities have merely tired to put a bandage on the problem by placing fluoride in the water. While this may in fact prevent your teeth from decaying for a time, it is not the long term answer.

The bottom line: if you arent utilizing a home water purifier for your house, your health will suffer. Do your search, and purchase a filter that is right for you and at the right price. Dont delay-your health is in the balance.

Your Brand Promise

Brands evoke responses. Talk to anyone who loves their Starbucks coffee, or hates their car; loves their Apple iPod, or hates their internet provider. When you think of your favorite or least favorite brands, certain feelings and attributes come to mind. These represent the brand. The same is true for people.

When you hear the name Joe, you have an impression of the Joe-brand, good or not so good. When Erin is assigned to your team, you may figuratively breathe a sigh of relief or roll your eyes. It's the Erin-brand that evokes your response. What about your name? What reaction does it elicit from your boss, coworkers or clients?

We expect brands to demonstrate their attributes, or brand promise, not once or twice, but every time we encounter them. Inconsistencies in performance can damage our brand relationships and cause us to select other brands. With people-brands, it means we promote, fire, assign projects and compensate based on that brand performance.

Of course, we may forgive an occasional slip, seeing it as an atypical hiccup from a brand we otherwise love. For me that happened with disney. I'm a disney fan, traveling to walt Disney world once or twice a year. But a few years back, the magic was tarnishing. The parks weren't quite as clean, the staff not quite as friendly, the experience not quite as promised, or what I had grown to expect.

Since disney had the equivalent of banked good-will in their brand relationship account with me, from years delivering on their brand promise, I tried a few more trips. Happily it turned around. But brand relationships we once loved can be diminished and good-will accounts can be overdrawn. It happens at work, too. Previously strong relationships can become bankrupt with inconsistent or poor performance.

Whether emails or hallway hellos, meetings or project plans, ideas or feedback, you imprint your signature with each action. Every encounter informs people what to expect from you. And these impressions, good or not so good, create brand "you" at work.

Remember first grade when you proudly printed at the top of the wide-ruled paper your name so everyone could see it? We may not write our names in big, bold crayon on our work anymore, but make no mistake, your name is on everything you do.

People who are winning at working know that. They're like great product brands. They're reliable, dependable and authentic. They deliver their unique brand attributes, not once or twice, but day in and day out; not just on highly visible or politically aligned projects, but on the routine, mundane ones, too. And they're as personable with the person who can't promote them as the person who can.

People who are winning at working understand they are a unique brand with specific gifts, talents and attributes. Their name is their icon. Their brand promise is delivering the best of who they are. Want to be winning at working? Deliver the promise in your brand.
