Health Tip: There are so many choices for water these days: Bottled, spring, mineral, alkaline, enhanced, electrolyte, hydrogen and purified. But, before you spend your hard earned money on purchasing water, you can check to see what is actually in your tap water at EWG.COM. Just put in your zip code and you can see what is in your tap water. Then you can make an informed decision about water filters in your home/work, or which type of water you would like to purchase. The most popular are bottled water and spring water. 

• Bottled water comes from municipal water supplies (the same place tap water comes from). Bottlers may then use additional purification measures, such as reverse osmosis, to remove unwanted tastes.
• Spring water originates from rainwater that moves underground and is filtered naturally by rocks and minerals. After it is pushed up to the ground’s surface, the water is collected from the spring. Per FD regulations, when manufacturers bottle and sell it, it must have the same composition and quality as the spring water at its source.
• Mineral, alkaline, enhanced, electrolyte, hydrogen and purified waters all have additional benefits, and we will be sharing more about those in future health tips.
