Get Educated on Water: What to Know

01
Cushions the Brain
Water is involved in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters and also affects brain structure and function. Prolonged dehydration can lead to problems with thinking and reasoning.
02
Delivers Oxygen throughout the Body
Blood is more than 90 percent water, and blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body.
03
Digestive System Depends on it
The bowel needs water to work properly. Dehydration can lead to digestive problems, constipation, and an overly acidic stomach. This increases the risk of heartburn and stomach ulcers.
04
Helps Maintain Blood Pressure
Increased hydration ensures your kidneys function properly to filter harmful solutes in the blood like sodium—the primary cause of high blood pressure which increases risks of heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, and dementia.
05
Forms Saliva & Mucus
Saliva helps us digest our food and keeps the mouth, nose, and eyes moist. This prevents friction and damage. Drinking water also keeps the mouth clean. Consumed instead of sweetened beverages, it can help to reduce tooth decay.
06
Boosts Skin Health
With dehydration, the skin can become more vulnerable to skin disorders and premature wrinkling.
07
Prevents Kidney Damage
The kidneys regulate fluid in the body. Insufficient water can lead to kidney stones and other problems.
08
Lubricates Your Joints
Cartilage, found in joints and the disks of the spine, contains around 80 percent water. Long-term dehydration can reduce the joints’ shock-absorbing ability, leading to joint pain.

FAQs

How much water do I need to drink each day?

The International Sports Medicine Institute recommends daily water intake of 1/2 oz per pound of body weight. The means, the average woman of 135 pounds should drink 67 ounces or about eight (8) glasses a day or four (4) half-liter bottles a day.

An easy way to remember this is to drink one 16 ounce bottle first thing in the morning, one at lunch, one before dinner, and the last before bedtime.

How do I know if I’ve had enough water?

According to Scientific Advisory Board member, Christine Palumbo (Poe-lum-bo), who is a registered dietician and nutritionist, there are several ways to tell:

1. Keep count of how much water you drink

2. The color of our urine is a good indicator. Anything darker than a pale lemon is an indication the body is not getting enough water to flush away impurities!

How can drinking bottled water help my complexion?

Drinking pure water keeps your skin hydrated and flushes away impurities that may cause skin problems. Beauty experts will tell you it doesn’t matter how good the quality of your cosmetics are if your skin doesn’t have enough moisture. 

Drinking enough water also helps your skin tolerate the hot and drying sun.

Does drinking water aid in weight loss?

Absolutely! If you don’t believe us, ask Oprah Winfrey. In a recent show, Oprah described drinking pure water as her number one way of losing weight and staying fit.

When your body is fully hydrated you will not mistake hunger for dehydration. Drinking a glass or two of water before a meal will reduce your hunger, hence, the amount you consume.

Should I cook with bottled water?

Yes! Think about it: Most recipes call for water, which is directly absorbed into the food you’re cooking, especially in starchy staples like pasta and rice. Unlike tap water, bottled water will not alter the taste and is free from bacteria, chemical pollutants, and harmful minerals potentially found in the pipes that carry water to your tap such as lead or copper.

Purified Water
vs Spring Water

What’s the Difference?
Water that has been “purified” means it was mechanically filtered and processed to remove any impurities like bacteria, viruses, chemical pollutants, and harmful minerals like lead and copper. “Spring” water is obtained from a natural aquifer (e.g., well or natural spring) at or below the earth’s natural water table. Even though this water is considered “pre-purified,” meaning it has traveled through natural filters like limestone, sandstone, and clay, once collected, it still must meet strict safety standards set by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Which is Better?
Well, the honest answer is that the best one is the one most easily accessible to you. Both types must meet the same safety standards and quality control Mr. Sippi applies to all its products. We offer both types, so you are only left to decide which one you personally prefer. Purified or Artesian Spring, Mr. Sippi Delivers.
