Why Staying Hydrated is So Important...

Hydration is important for staying healthy

Body Water Percentage (TBW%)

The human body is made up of over 60% water, which means that you are drinking it or losing portions every day. Your Total Body Water Percentage (TBW%) is how much water is in your body as a percentage. You're continuously losing water throughout the day by the various activities you partake in and therefore you constantly need water to rehydrate and replenish the lost water. Water is the most important factor in body functioning. The human body constantly sheds water throughout everyday activities like breathing and urinating, which can be impacted by climate factors such as temperature or altitude level; illness-related matters like dehydration caused by diabetes mellitus Type I (when there isn't enough insulin) — this will cause you to lose more fluid through your urine than usual because less plasma “fuel” stays inside cells To make up for these things). Also medications may impact how much we sweat at any given time - an example of this includes steroids used before surgery/after infection periods where they increase perspiration rate. Various activity rates contribute as well. Those that are highly active lose a higher percentage of water through sweat glands than others and therefore, usually, need to increase water consumption than someone who is less active. Skeletal muscle contains more water so many times athletes have a higher percentage of water which allows them to perform at a higher level and sustain for a longer duration. Hydration, and maintaining a high TBW% is important for the health and wellness of your body. A lack of water can lead to many different conditions, including tiredness or fatigue. It can cause muscle fatigue, dry skin, and dizziness among other symptoms. So say safe and drink up!

Hydration tips for for adults and children:

Drink 8 glasses of water daily. It may seem like a lot but it really isn't. Start your morning off with a nice glass of water to get you hydrated and ready for the day. Make this a habit and you, and your children, will see the benefits. If you or your children are extremely active, drink more water than usual as you can lose up to 2 quarts a day. So drink lots and drink often!

When running or exercising it's a good idea to drink 8-10oz every 15 minutes of exercise. And then another 10-12oz post workout. This will keep you hydrated throughout your workout and then replenish some of the fluid lost during the workout. If you are doing something strenuous like a 10k race, you may want to increase those numbers as you can easily lose 6-10lbs if the weather is hot and you sweat profusely.

H2O is the driving force to make your body run properly

Drinking plenty of water is essential for weight loss! Water helps you digest food and then turn that into energy. It also keeps the body temperature steady, mouth moistened with moisture from its natural salt content (sodium), maintains muscle tone in all cells including those which cushion vital organs such as joints or kidneys - so they don't become dehydrated through lack-of circulation; prevents dehydration by regulating bodily fluids levels, carries nutrients throughout our bodies ensuring everyone has enough oxygen available at each tissue level. Dehydration occurs when the body cannot produce enough sweat to keep itself cool. This can happen because perspiration is decreased or stopped completely by cold weather, which affects how much moisture enters your lungs and leaves through evaporative cooling effect- even if you don't feel thirsty! To avoid getting too dehydrated during winter months make sure drink at least 8 glasses (8 ounces per glass) daily in order maintain optimal health levels

Healthy Tips in Closing

Water is essential for human survival and optimal health. Drinking enough water can help you maintain a healthy weight, avoid dehydration symptoms like headaches or fatigue which may result in poor performance at work (or anywhere else), have better skin by preventing acne breakouts - all while staying hydrated!

The human body is a machine. A machine without its fluid cannot perform optimally so it’s important to stay on top these two tips: Drink 8 glasses per day AND take advantage during exercise periods where intake rates are higher than usual with 10-12 oz every 15 minutes until completion

Stuff That Could Be in Your Water

Radon in Water

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers (Field, 2010).
Radon is one of the leading environmental causes of cancer mortality in the US.
Main pathway for radon into the body is by inhalation - leads to lung cancer.

Ingestion of radon thru drinking water is a minor pathway but can lead to stomach cancer.
Radon is responsible for 21,000 deaths per year, according to the EPA.
Radon is a water contaminant that exists as a gas, so you have high exposure in a shower or similar "gas chamber."

Silica in Water

Silica is one of the most frustrating water problems out of all the water contaminants.
It is easily seen at the water line in toilet bowls – tough build-up that can only be removed with pumice stone or scraping.
On polished chrome surfaces like tub fixtures.
Obvious on black porcelain sinks and surfaces as hard white spots, "islands", or spidery networks.

Silica domains on glass shower doors – "frosted look."
Dull, white silica build-up on granite counters.
Drinking water that has not been treated using reverse osmosis or De-ionizing resins still contains Silica and will destroy fridge dispensers with a permanent white "trickle."

PH (Acidic) Water

pH refers to the "potential Hydrogen", and is on a 1 to 14 scale with 7 as the neutral point. As readings get lower than 7 the term "acidic"is appropriate, and readings above are "basic". Acidic water problems are common with Shallow wells and will dissolve metals, causing leaks, blue-green stains, and copper and lead poisoning in drinking water if not treated.
Soda ash injection is effective at raising pH without raising hardness.

Calcite ("Georgia Marble") is an all-natural treatment and can be used in non-electric passive or filtration units or electric systems. Iron levels dictate which is best for each situation.
Ozone can be effective depending on the levels of CO2 but requires space and venting.

Manganese

Manganese is an "aesthetic" water contaminant in Virginia but has significant neurological health risks, with other states (NC) failing drinking water tests with excessive Manganese levels. This water problem sometimes shows as black in the toilet tanks and ruins the laundry. A twin-tank water softener and a professional-grade filter are ideal for the treatment of this metal.

Fluoride

Hexafluorosilicic acid or Hydrofluorosilic acid is the substance used to treat 90% of the fluoridated drinking water supplies across the US. The current MCL is 4.00 PPM, which is over 250 times higher than Lead but considered more toxic. The apparent benefits of Fluoride treatment on teeth are prevalent during the adolescent period when growth is happening. Once we are adults, it is not needed anymore to harden the crystalline structure and is merely another water contaminant to be address

Hard Water

"Hard Water" refers to dissolved calcium in the water, causing extra soaps to be needed to counter this water problem, wasted energy on water-heating, destruction of appliances due to deposits, dirty laundry from lack of proper rinsing, dry skin from clogged oil pores, premature aging of clothes, and scale deposits on dishes, shower doors, walls, cars, tubs, sinks, and anything else water touches and dries. This water contaminant is best treated with a twin-tank water softener for 24/7 reassurance.

Learn About Drinking Water

Drinking water is a topic that gains more attention every day. The reality is that water is continuously recycled and is not getting better naturally, and few people drink "from the tap" anymore. "Springwater" has no regulation aside from the source water must somewhere have a spring, and "protected source" simply means there is a fence around it. Estimates state that over 25% of Spring Water is just tap water. The best way to remove the water contaminants is by reverse osmosis.

Learn About Iron

Iron can exist in typically two forms, Ferric and/or Ferrous, and makes drinking water taste metallic and turn orange if exposed to air. Suppose you run your raw water into a white bucket, and it is clear but turns yellow/orange eventually. In that case, you have Ferrous iron. This water contaminant can be removed with a twin-tank water softener or other methods using oxidation and then filtration to catch the Ferric Iron. If you can see "C" it, then you have Ferric. Iron is a very common water problem in central VA, and Kinetico has solutions designed to fix it.

Chlorine & Chloramines

Suppose municipal or Community sources service you. In that case, you will have Chlorine (and usually Ammonia) added to your water to keep your drinking water disinfected while it makes its journey to your house. Along the way, it encounters organic compounds, and the Chlorine reacts to form Trihalomethanes, which are carcinogens (and are a water problem regulated by the EPA). These water contaminants are gases and can be inhaled, absorbed, and ingested.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Water Hard In Richmond?

Hard water is difficult to deal with because it requires more soap and synthetic detergents, which leads to scaling in boilers or industrial equipment. Hardness comes from calcium compounds plus magnesium & other metals such as iron. As water moves through soil and rock, it dissolves very small amounts of minerals. Calcium is one such mineral that often makes its way into our drinking supplies- accounting for around 25% or more on average! Magnesium also occurs naturally with calcium in rocks as well. The water from Richmond is considered "slightly hard" to moderate in terms of its mineral content.

How Much Money Can A Water Softener Save You?

Though a water softener may seem like an energy-sucking appliance, it actually uses less than what you might expect. A Kinetico non-electric unit is completely powered by the flow of water and your water pressure, not batteries or electricity! With a new water softener, you can reduce your family's monthly spending on soaps and detergents by up to 80%. You'll spend less time waiting for the wash cycle because it will regenerate when needed and for a family of four that is usually only a handful of times a month.

Investing in a water softener is worth the expense because it instantly improves your home's quality of life and saves you money across multiple areas. Softened waters keep fixtures running smoothly, reducing service calls to fix leaking pipes or broken appliances that can't withstand scale buildup from hard-water minerals. In fact, appliances on average last 30-50% longer when using a water softener as opposed to regular tap water. The presence of scale buildup results in a loss of heat, which makes it twice as hard to get your water hot and plumbed where needed. With soft waters you can save up 27% driven energy costs within just one year!Soft water is good for your pipes. If you think about it, the veins and arteries of our homes are basically made out of pipe (or more specifically: plumbing) and work like arteries transferring vital blood (or in this case water) to all necessary parts of the body (home). Soft water helps protect these vital parts because they contribute greatly to how well appliances work in this system- if there were any problems with them then everything could come apart quickly! Natural hardness (aka minerals) builds over time; over time these deposits cut off access flow resulting in low pressure or even NO WATER pressure at all. If damaged badly enough you may need to replace the plumbing throughout your home which could very well cost thousands of dollars. It also can destroy your appliances which will lead to costly repairs and replacements down the line. A water softener can help avoid these problems completely or delay them for a long duration of time.

With only minimal uptick in energy use and the ability to save thousands of dollars over its lifespan, having a water softener at home is an ideal solution. You’ll see savings across your entire house once you purchase one; it usually pays for itself within just 1 year!

How Does A Water Softener Work?

Hard water is softened by removing the hardness minerals in it through a process called ion exchange. When hard-water enters a resin bed that's been setup for this purpose, sodium ions are exchanged with calcium and magnesium leaving behind much more palatable soft water throughout your home! When the resin bed is filled with hardness ions, regeneration or cleaning must occur. Salt is typically used in these processes to clean the resin bed by “washing off” the accumulation of hardness and any dissolved iron and manganese, and replaces the Sodium bond so the process can be repeated.

What Water Softener Is Best?

If you want to have clean, fresh water for cleaning and rinsing in your home then it's important that the softener system matches up with what kind of user this will be.
