A Look Back: Life Solutions’ Top 10 Initiatives in 2022

People can last weeks without food, but only days without water because the body is made up of 50-75% water. Yet, according to The Report on the State of Global Water Resources, 3.6 billion people in the world face water shortage for at least one month every year. And, more than 5 billion people are expected to face water shortage by 2050. Thus, it is the responsibility and obligation of everyone to help conserve water.

Life Solutions understands the importance of protecting water and ensuring drinking water is clean and safe for everyone. Looking back on 2022, Life Solutions has upheld its mission to filter water and provide customers with energy-saving, high-quality water purification systems.

Let’s review – and praise – 10 of Life Solutions’ successful initiatives this year!

1. Aiming to increase everyone’s knowledge about the benefits of healthy drinking water, Life Solutions educated people on what would happen to their bodies after drinking polluted water for a long time. The effects are critical for everyone to know.

2. Not only is water the resource people rely on for survival, but it is also the resource the rely on to stay healthy and renewed as the seasons change. To ensure awareness of healthy drinking water throughout the year, Life Solutions, shared potential issues people should pay attention to related to drinking water in the spring season.

3. Not only is water necessary for people, but it essential for the environment. However, water resources are increasingly scarce. On World Water Day, Life Solutions appealed to everyone to save water and pay attention to the safety and health of clean drinking water.

4. Office drinking water has become a health loophole and the Covid pandemic has not subsided. For enterprises, protecting employees’ health while giving them a sense of security is related to personnel stability, work efficiency and even economic benefits. Life Solutions’ water purification equipment provides safe and clean drinking water, both hot and cold, in the office.

5. In the spring and summer when the weather is hot and water consumption increases, Life Solutions provides maintenance measures for their water purifiers so that customers always have clean drinking water that is problem-free.

6. “Self-immunity is the guardian of health.” The difference between the health of people is related to the severity of their illnesses. Besides a healthy daily diet and exercise to improve immunity, clean drinking water is essential. In recent years, repeated outbreaks have increased people’s drinking anxiety. Life Solutions analyzed the relationship between immunity and drinking water, and developed a reliable water purification system to provide peace of mind.

7. Drinking too little water can cause health hazards. Life Solutions has sounded the alarm by sharing the risks and misconceptions of not drinking enough water. They support the science for drinking healthy water, and ensure their RO (reverse osmosis) water purification systems provide your healthy drinking water!

8. The key to brewing a good cup of tea is not only superior tea, a tea set and exquisite skills, but the right water. As a professional water purification expert, Life Solutions water purification equipment filters water for high-quality water that enhances the fragrant flavor of tea.

9. On World Clean Day, Life Solutions advocates that everyone contributes to environmental protection. And they do the same! Over the years, they have continuously educated the public on the importance of sustainable development through a variety of methods and channels, while they participate as well.

10. Life Solutions listens to their users, and as a result, they continue to upgrade their technology and improve their services. They are proud that their customers are very happy to recommend their products to others…and they sincerely thank everyone for their recognition and support.

As 2022 comes to an end, Life Solutions is proud to look back on this unforgettable year with thoughts of sincerity, diligence, professionalism and innovation.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and another year of healthy, fresh water!

Why do our clients choose Life Solutions?

With the rapid improvement of living standards, people are increasingly paying attention to a healthier lifestyle. They are beginning to question their choices in terms of the food and water they consume. Everyone knows that optimal water intake is essential to our health, as every cell in our body needs water to function properly. In addition to implementing a healthier lifestyle at home, improving the quality of drinking water in the office is also a must these days.

Why should people consume purified, healthy water by choosing a water filtration system? We interviewed Hadleigh Churchill, a Business Director from hcreates, and here are the top reasons he mentioned:

01 Using logic & reasoning

If your company has 200, 50, or even just ten employees working eight hours a day out of the office, ordering bottled water every week requires a lot of manpower and logistics, not to mention the plastic waste generated, which we all know is incredibly damaging to our environment.

02 Being cost effective

When we talk about the benefits of implementing a water filtration system, we tend to talk to our customers about environmental protection and cost efficiency. If your company wants to use bottled water, you need to consider the long term purchase price as well as the transportation costs. Over time, you will find that installing a water filtration system in the office is more efficient and cost effective.

03 Energy saving

Using direct potable water in the office is more environmentally friendly and cost effective than distributing bottled water during meetings. With the right water filtration system that allows you to enjoy water at different temperatures, you also reduce the energy costs associated with boiling it.

RO reverse osmosis water treatment systems are the first choice when it comes to improving drinking water conditions in homes and offices and ensuring healthy drinking water. With the advantages of convenience, beautiful design and good customer service, Life Solutions water treatment systems have become a necessary equipment for many businesses. More and more corporate leaders and employees who care about the safety of their employees have chosen our systems.

As a high-end boutique interior design firm, hcreates is committed to recommending quality design solutions for all of their projects. We are proud that besides being our loyal customer, they also continue to recommend our systems and services to their clients.

Life Solutions has always been committed to building good business relationships with its customers and providing them with quality services. The company provides its customers with high quality water filtration products, high quality services and operations, including social benefits. Over the years, our service range has been constantly expanding. Currently, our customers cover more than 25 cities in China. In addition to our incredible supporter hcreates, we have also received valuable comments from other important, loyal customers:

EF Education

As one of the largest education providers in the world, EF Education has a solid market position and covers a wide range of business regions in China. We are very proud to be the supplier of EF ‘s drinking water system, providing them with high quality, healthy drinking water in more than 20 cities across China. Over the years, we have established long-term cooperation with companies in their schools and offices.

Hines – One Museum Place

We are honored to have Hines as our client. The design of their office in Shanghai Bohua Square is outstanding and innovative. Fresh air and clean drinking water through our Billi water filtration system is suitable for all companies, international or local fashion design companies can enjoy crisp, pure water for making a delicious tea in the morning, coffee or iced water in the afternoon.

HonKong International Airport

Hong Kong International Airport, another valuable client of Life Solution, is often referred to as the “never sleeping airport” With more than 220 destinations in the world, this airport is a true global hub for travelers. Famous for its design, comfort and efficiency, Hong Kong International Airport has won more than 80 industry awards. The airport’s strong commitment to sustainable development has also contributed to these successes.

As an effective drinking water treatment device, water purifiers can effectively improve the quality of water and is also a better choice as a substitute for bottled water. Especially for modern businesses, the installation of water treatment equipment is crucial. Life Solutions provides its customers with high-quality drinking water systems and services for offices, hotels, hospitals, universities, airports, and research and development facilities.

Life Solutions thanks you for your support and confidence in our profession in the field of healthy purified water. As we move forward, Life Solutions will continue to improve its products, technologies and services to provide a better water treatment experience for more consumers. We also expect more people to recognize our product and brand mission “through professional customer service and environmental protection solutions”. At the same time, we will continue to strive to fulfill our social responsibility with our partners through our high quality filtration products.

Thanksgiving – A feast for soul, body and spirit!

To our dear customers

First of all, Life Solution would like to wish all our partners, customers and supporters a wonderful celebration! A happy Thanksgiving to you all! We are grateful that you join us on our journey and support our mission to provide healthy, pure water to more families!

Let us take a moment to be thankful for our health and the health of our family and friends. Thanksgiving traditions date back to the 17th century and are now celebrated not only in North America, but in many other places around the world as well. Where are the origins of this celebration?

In 1620, 102 European passengers left Plymouth, England aboard the ship Mayflower in search of a new home in the “New World” where they could practice their faith. After more than 60 days of arduous travel against the strong winds of the North Atlantic, they reached the “New Land” at Cape Cod, far north of their actual destination at the mouth of the Hudson River. A month later, the Mayflower crossed into Massachusetts Bay, where they began establishing a village at Plymouth.

During the first winter, half of the travelers died due to contagious diseases and malnutrition. The survivors were saved by a Native American named Squanto, who taught them how to grow corn and catch fish in the surrounding rivers. In November 1621, after the first harvest, the settlers held a feast to which they invited their Native American allies to celebrate the fruitful harvest. The feast lasted three days and thus the first Thanksgiving was born. It was not until 1789 that George Washington issued the first Thanksgiving Proclamation, calling on Americans to express their gratitude for the happy outcome of the country’s War of Independence.

Today, Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday, celebrated with loved ones. The feast today includes a stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes and gravy. There are many variations of foods and drinks served on Thanksgiving, but the one thing that cannot be missing is the pure water, so the whole family can stay hydrated and healthy to celebrate many more Thanksgivings!

Life Solutions’ water purifier can meet your needs for the hot and cold water required to prepare a sumptuous meal and the delicious cocktails that go with it. Our filters can adjust the water temperature while purifying the water, so you do not have to worry about putting your family’s health at risk.

The Winter is coming!

The constant change in temperature has already caused many of us to catch a cold. In China, we constantly hear the advice to drink more hot water. But is there really a scientific basis for improving health by drinking hot water?

Why do many foreigners not like to drink hot water?

01 Different cultures and habits

The fact that Europeans and Americans do not like hot water has something to do with their cultural habits. From childhood to adulthood, they are used to drinking cold water. Their intestines and stomach have already become accustomed to this temperature, so drinking cold water does not cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

02 Body types

The different body type and desire to lose weight could perhaps be another reason for the different water drinking culture. That drinking cold water can help with weight loss by boosting metabolism is an unfounded myth that many still believe in. Since many Europeans and Americans eat a high calorie diet, drinking cold water to maintain or reduce weight could be another reason for this custom.

03 High popularity of water purifiers

The popularity of water purifiers is as high as 90% in Europe and the United States. They have moved to drinking water directly from the tap because the water in many areas is of good quality. In China, the adoption rate of water purifiers is relatively low. People see the need to purify water by boiling, although metal pollution cannot be eliminated by this process.

What are the benefits of drinking more hot water?

01 Boosting the metabolism

Drinking more hot water helps to improve blood circulation in the human body, strengthen our central nervous system and promote sweating, which in turn leads to better control of body temperature. Drinking clean, safe, hot water promotes the elimination of harmful toxins in our body through urination. By speeding up our metabolism, we recover more quickly from colds, common infections and wounds.

02 Relief from constipation

Drinking hot water can relieve constipation and stimulate intestinal peristalsis, the process that makes digestion possible. This is the automatic, undulating movement of the muscles that line our gastrointestinal tract. By drinking hot water, our bodies are able to break down food more quickly and produce regular bowel movements.

03 Relief from menstrual pain

Dysmenorrhea or menstrual cramps are caused by contraction of the uterine muscles. Drinking more hot water can help relieve menstrual pain and reduce irritability.

A little advice

The amount of water:
Drinking too much hot water could be counterintuitive for our bodies. The rule the more the better does not apply in this case, as drinking too much hot water can increase the metabolic load on the kidneys and the risk of water intoxication. The appropriate daily amount of water for adults is given by physicians to be 2500 ml on average, with a small difference between men and women. It is important to remember that about 20% of daily fluid intake normally comes from food.

The water temperature:
Just like the quantity, the temperature of the water we drink also plays an important role. Medical experts explain that 45 ℃ is the ideal water temperature. They advise against drinking overheated water to avoid thermal injuries in the mucous membrane of the pharynx or esophagus. These thermal injuries, especially if they occur repeatedly, can lead to chronic inflammation and the formation of cancer cells.

Life Solutions’ water purifier can meet your fresh hot water needs. It can adjust the water temperature while filtering and purifying so you do not have to worry about compromising your family’s health.

01 3C Certification

All our filtration products have passed CCC (3C) certification, exceeding the CJ94-2005 Chinese drinking water purification industry standard, and NSF product certification is included in all RO products.

02 Fine filtration

The reverse osmosis system and the high-end filter element can remove 99% of pollutants (including heavy metals, pesticides, viruses and bacteria) and provide clean, safe and healthy drinking water.

03 Instant cooling & instant heating

Our purifiers can be used directly for drinking and can heat the water temperature in a short time. It is efficient to measure the temperature and heat quickly at any time, and has an accurate temperature control. It can be used for washing vegetables, fruits and creating various dishes or directly for drinking, cooking and tea making. It is an ideal system for safe and clean water.

The beginning of winter is dry and cold. Whether for drinking or making teas or soups, healthy hot water is essential for every family. Life Solutions water treatment equipment ensures a healthy and comfortable life where families can rely on the quality of the water they consume.

Life Solutions’ water purification equipment brings you a warm and comfortable winter.

The descent of the frost

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar periods. Frost’s Descent, the 18th solar term, which is also the last in autumn, falls approximately on October 23, when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 210 degrees.

This solar term takes its name from the typical weather conditions around October 23. On the day of the frost, water vapor in the air freezes on the ground, usually overnight, in the form of tiny ice needles or hexagonal flower shapes. In the eyes of the ancient Chinese, this was the first time of the year that they saw the frost coming. Therefore, they called the day “The Descent of Frost”
The frost reflects the dryness of the air, because most regions of China are dominated by dry continental cold air masses at this time. The occurrence of frost means that the local night weather is cold and sunny, and the cooling caused by ground radiation is relatively strong.[1]

During this period when the temperature drops, our immune system can be expected to weaken as well. We all know that viruses tend to survive longer in such an environment, making respiratory illnesses more likely. It is important to be mindful of clothing choices as the weather can be tricky during this time with sunny afternoons but cool evenings and chilly nights. The best way to boost our immune system is also to spend more time exercising.[2]

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is known to recommend a variety of foods and liquids to boost the immune system. Here are three ways you can avoid getting sick:

1. Warm water
Since the weather is dry in autumn, you should consume more water to achieve a healthy lifestyle. According to traditional Chinese medicine, we should consume more hot water and reduce the consumption of cold drinks. Hot water can not only act as a ‘heater’ to warm us up, but it also has a positive effect on the spleen and stomach by adapting the intestinal flora to the colder weather.[4]

2. Hot tea

Another soothing drink in the change of seasons is tea, especially black tea, which is properly brewed by letting the leaves steep for 5-6 minutes. Black tea has many health benefits, such as moistening dry lungs, eliminating cold, warming the intestines and stomach, and improving appearance.[4]

In addition to black tea, the following teas have also been shown to be beneficial: [6]

2-1. DandelionIt is known as a “natural antibiotic” and can help our lungs fight fever and eliminate unwanted toxins faster.

2-2. Flowers of Platycodon grandiflorum:This plant is widely used in TCM for its biological applications, such as hypertension, lipid lowering, arteriosclerosis, inflammation, to relieve cough and phlegm, to promote cholic acid secretion, and as an antioxidant.

2-3. Polygonatum odoratum root:This plant is able to lower blood sugar and blood lipid levels, regulate and strengthen the immune system, and fight aging. It is also used in TCM to restore yin balance.

3 Soups

There are many famous Chinese sayings that emphasize the importance of eating hot soups in cold weather. Various soups are known in China to warm and nourish the body.[7] According to TCM, the following three types of soups are best for the transition into winter and colder weather:

3-1. Radish and crucian soup
“Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer” is a famous advice in China. Radish is a winter vegetable that can help the human body replenish water and promote digestion. The carp in the soup can help replenish “qi” and improve the function of spleen and stomach.

3-2. Duck soup with Chinese yam
Duck meat has the effect of nourishing the body fluid and stomach, nourishing yin and tonifying deficiency, eliminating heat and strengthening the spleen, while yam is also beneficial to lung qi and nourishes lung yin.

3-3. Lotus Root Rib Soup
Autumn is the ripe season of lotus root. The fresh lotus root has the function of eliminating heat and producing liquid. A delicious soup contains lotus root pairing and pork chops.

Why should I choose pure and good water?

First-class ingredients must be combined with first-class water. Whether it is tea or soup, its quality and taste are closely related to the quality of water we use. The pollution of rivers and lakes by the effluents of modern industry is a constant threat to our water and thus a danger to our health. It is extremely important to install safe and professional water filters that are technologically superior and capable of filtering out pollutants while preserving the beneficial minerals.

Life Solutions’ professional water purifiers keep the whole family healthy by providing exceptional quality water.

All Life Solutions filtration products have received CCC (3C) certification, exceeding the Chinese drinking water treatment standard CJ94-2005. Life Solutions’ professional water purification equipment is taking care of the entire family’s health by providing water that is of exceptional quality.

Can washing hands & drinking clean water really save our lives?

Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important measures we can take to prevent getting sick and spreading germs, especially in these times when the COVID -19 pandemic has brought entire nations to a standstill.

Among the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendations for preventing the spread of COVID -19, the first is to wash your hands frequently. But why exactly is it so important to wash your hands? If we look more closely, even before the pandemic, diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea were the leading infectious causes of child mortality. Together, these diseases accounted for 29% of all child deaths worldwide and led to the deaths of more than two million children under the age of five each year. Deaths that could have been prevented by thorough hand washing and access to clean water.
Hand washing has been a central part of our personal hygiene for many years, but the connection between the benefits of hand washing and health was not made until less than two centuries ago. In 1846, Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis discovered the link between postpartum deaths and unwashed hands. He found that women cared for by physicians who had previously performed autopsies were less likely to die than those cared for by midwives who did not perform autopsies. When he implemented a strict rule of hand washing before entering the maternity ward, the mortality rate of postpartum women dropped dramatically. This was clear evidence that cleaning hands leads to prevention of infections. [1]

The current pandemic offers us another opportunity to rethink our hygiene habits, including how to ensure that everyone has access to safe and clean water.

In 2008, WHO launched Global Handwashing Day, calling on the world to wash their hands with soap every year on October 15. The goal of this initiative is to raise awareness that the spread of pathogens can be reduced by simply washing hands. Research shows that thorough hand washing can reduce 21% of respiratory illnesses and more than 40% of diarrheal illnesses. [2]

1. Increase awareness of hand washing and develop better hygiene habits.

  • When should I wash my hands?

Immediate hand washing is required in the following instances: when entering your home; before and after meals; before and after wearing masks; after coughing or sneezing; after going to the toilet; after touching public areas and taking out the trash; after touching animals.

  • How do you wash your hands properly?

Always remember. Washing your hands with clean water is not enough to remove bacteria! Washing your hands with soap can effectively prevent the spread of germs. Rub your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds, clean the entire skin, fingertips, back of the hand and seams, and finally wash them under running water.

It is extremely important to pay attention to the quality of your drinking water as well. Sometimes the damage caused by inadequate plumbing is greater than dirty hands. Contaminated water contains germs that carry diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, etc. The current Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water in China (GB5749-2006) sets strict sanitary requirements for the quality of drinking water. The water must be clear, colorless, odorless, and free of visible objects; it must not contain pathogenic microorganisms and parasite eggs;

2. The following two types of water should not be used.

  • Do not drink ‘raw’ water!
    Tap water is disinfected with chlorine and bleaching powder, which can produce harmful by-products. Outdoor stream or well water contains harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites that can cause acute gastroenteritis and parasite infestation after drinking.
  • Do not drink unboiled water.
    Unboiled water, tap water, may contain harmful bacteria. When you boil water to purify it, you remove harmful bacteria and germs, but not chemicals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, chromium, etc. The only way to remove these chemicals is to use a high quality water filtration system.

Remember that we use water every day not only for drinking, but also for cooking, cleaning and washing. Therefore, it is important that you pay attention to the quality of your water.

Reverse osmosis water purifier effectively ensures drinking water safety

  • RO reverse osmosis membrane filtration

Filter element is selected for Life Solution’s purification equipment. RO reverse osmosis membrane is used to remove 99% of pollutants (including heavy metals, pesticides, viruses, etc.) and provide clean and healthy drinking water.

  • 3C certification
    All filtration products of Life Solution have passed CCC (3C) certification, exceeding the CJ94-2005 Chinese drinking water purification industry standard; Our Billi Quadra, Quadra Plus and Eco models have won the Global Green Tag gold medal energy efficiency certification. (Green Tag is one of the trustworthy and widely recognized ecological labels in the world)
  • Maintance
    Life Solution’s purification equipment provides you with various maintenance services every year. The filter element should be replaced at least three times every year, which can better meet your water sanitation needs!

Let’s take action together, wash hands frequently, and do a good job of disinfection without giving viruses a chance. Life Solutions will be your most solid partner when it comes to healthy water!

Celebrating World Cleanup Day!

World Cleanup Day is being observed on September 17th this year. With the goal of combating global waste and building a sustainable world by changing human behavior patterns, millions of people around the world volunteer to help save the planet from becoming a garbage-filled wasteland. This world-changing effort cleans up litter and mismanaged waste from beaches, rivers, forests and streets.

The origin of World Cleanup Day dates back to 2008 when 50,000 people in Estonia, a small northern European country, cleaned the entire country in five hours. This single initiative has grown into a worldwide movement. Last year, more than 8 million people in 191 countries tackled the problem of global waste. In 2019, prior to the pandemic, more than 21 million people in 180 countries participated in a heroic 36-hour marathon of cleanups across the world that began in New Zealand and ended in Hawaii.

Creating a better environment…

In addition to removing garbage, World Cleanup Day raises awareness of the global waste crisis and its impact on the environment. Cleanups alone will not solve the problem. But, creating awareness of trash and promoting change in human behavior will make a long-standing difference.

Along with these great intentions, World Cleanup Day serves as a reminder to protect the environment and reduce water pollution. Every day significant amounts of waste end up oceans, harming marine life and disturbing zooplankton that are an integral component of the food chain. Large landfills of garbage taint soil and contribute to water pollution, resulting in the growth of harmful bacteria and insects.

Everyone can do their part to protect the ecological environment and make the world cleaner and safer. For example, properly disposing of items containing harmful materials, such as batteries, is one way. These items contain heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium and nickel that are hazardous to people and the world’s ecosystem. Reducing the use of disposable plastic, like plastic bottles and bags, is another way to protect the environment. Plastic decomposes slowly, filling up landfills and causing toxic chemicals to be released, which can cause groundwater contamination. Besides visual pollution, toxic substances threaten clean drinking water and human health, leading to chronic conditions like liver and kidney damage and cancer.

Life Solutions’s water purification solutions:

  • Life Solutions does its part year-round by providing water purification solutions that ensure healthy drinking water and eliminate the use of plastic bottles.
  • Its reverse osmosis system removes 99% of pollutants (including heavy metals, pesticides, viruses and bacteria) for clean water that can be used for drinking, cooking and cleaning, reducing the risk of long-term health issues.

By eliminating plastic water bottles, Life Solutions continuously contributes to protecting the environment in several ways:

  • Prevent air pollution caused by the production of disposable plastic bottles
  • Save oil (and reduce greenhouse gas emissions) by avoiding the consumption of plastic extracted from oil
  • Conserve water by saving 36,000 liters of water every year (based on 100 liters of water consumed each day)
  • Reduce toxic chemicals in the environment from the use of plastic bottles

Exceeds the standard of China’s drinking water purification industry:

  • Life Solutions products are top quality. All of their filter products have passed CCC (3C) certification, exceeding the CJ94-2005 China drinking water purification industry standard.
  • The Billi Quadra, Quadra plus and eco models have all received the energy efficiency certification of global green tag, which is one of the most trusted and widely recognized eco tags in the world.

In celebration of World Cleanup Day this year, join Life Solutions’ efforts for waste-free world that protects the environment as well as people’s health. Consider a Life Solutions’ water purification system. It is the perfect way to contribute to this global movement!

Mid-Autumn Festival:
Drinking Tea and Eating Mooncakes

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is approaching quickly. A traditional folk festival in China, Mid-Autumn Festival honors the new harvest. It is observed on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar in the middle of autumn, because there is always a full moon on that day.

One of the most common ways to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival is to gather with family and loved ones under the brightly-shining moon, eating mooncakes and drinking tea. The combination of the moon, moon cakes and tea produce a harmony that has been rejoiced since ancient times. Together, they create a serene and fulfilling aura that consists of togetherness, beauty and sweetness.

What does drinking tea in the Mid-Autumn Festival symbolize?

Symbolically, roundness in Chinese culture represents unity and completeness. Thus, the bright round moon in autumn stands for harmony and the moon-shaped round pastries signify an expression of love and best wishes for family. So, what does drinking tea in the Mid-Autumn Festival symbolize?

1. Cultural staple

A cup of tea, a cultural staple in China, balances out the sweetness of moon cakes, which are commonly gifted to family, friends, and colleagues in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Tea goes well beyond this celebration though. It is an important part of Chinese tradition, and embedded in its history. As China progressed, tea production played a role in driving economic development while tea consumption became an everyday practice. Since drinking tea is believed to bring the spirit and wisdom of people to a higher orbit, guests are treated to tea.

2. To enhance relationships

Additionally, tea is believed to enhance relationships with relatives and loved ones. As with the Mid-Autumn Festival, families reunite and enjoy each other’s company savoring mooncakes while drinking tea.

3. Good health

Tea also represents good health. Since eating sweet moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival means consuming fat and sugar, tea acts as an antidote. It contains beneficial substances that can boost the immune system, fight off inflammation, and even ward off heart disease. While some teas provide more health advantages than others, regularly drinking tea can have a lasting impact on wellness.

The type of water used to make tea can make it even healthier. Clean water without any impurities is best. By adopting multi-layer filtration and reverse osmosis technology, water can be pure and healthy. Tea brewed with purified water is clear and refreshing, without any smell or unpleasant taste.

Staying Hydrated with
the Arrival of “Stopping the Heat”

The 14th of 24 solar terms, “Stopping the Heat,” falls in August. It reflects the end of the hot summer period. With the change in temperature and autumn approaching, the days remain hot during the daytime but cooler in the mornings and evenings. According to ancient philosophy, people should be mindful of the balance among the “yin” and “yang” in the body and dress appropriately this time of year.

It is also suggested that people pay attention to their diet, which should change with the fluctuating temperature. An important part of diet is drinking water, especially to avoid becoming dehydrated. The body is made up of approximately 70% water, and drinking enough water every day is essential for maintaining overall wellness, sustaining energy levels, and flushing toxins out of the body. Drinking too little or too much water can have adverse effects on health.

Insufficient water intake can lead to dry skin, fatigue, sluggishness, dizziness, and muscle cramps if exercising without replacing water lost through sweat. Besides these outward symptoms of dehydration, chronic effects of lack of water impact the body’s cells. Like the body’s organs, the cells need water tofunction optimally and remove waste from the body.

The benefits of drinking plenty of water are many, including better digestion, an improved immune system, normal kidney function, less constipation, weight control, and proper muscle flexibility.

53535 drinking water method

What is the right quantity of water needed? According to the “53535 drinking water method” outlines the ideal amount and process for consuming water. Specifically, it proposes drinking 500ml before breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and 300ml between each meal. While the amount of water needed varies from person to person, the key is to drink water regularly and not just when thirsty.

While making sure to drink a sufficient amount of water every day, it is essential to pay attention to the quality of the drinking water. Long term drinking of unclean water can lead to more severe health conditions like skin lesions and pigmentation, seizures, and kidney failure.

To ensure the water consumed does not contain bacteria, viruses, and contaminants like pesticides and heavy metals, drinking purified water should be considered.

Hydration at the beginning of autumn

The beginning of autumn is the perfect time to remind everyone to drink water. Even though the weather is sunny and dry, and the humidity is relatively low, the temperature does not drop. People continue to perspire like they do in the summer, however, they are often less mindful of appropriate hydration.

To sustain energy levels, nourish skin, and maintain a radiant body, it is necessary to drink plenty of water. The body loses water throughout the day, mostly through urine and sweat, but also from regular body functions like breathing. To prevent dehydration, people must get lots of water from drinking as well as from food every day.

1. How much water do adults need to drink a day?

Health experts recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, about 2 liters or half a gallon, of water per day. However, this amount of water needed varies from person to person. It differs depending on factors like diet, health, and activity.

For example, someone who exercises intensely on a regular basis will need to drink more water to replenish more water loss.

2. Ways to stay hydrated this autumn

Since more than half of the body is made up of water, being well hydrated is extremely important. Additionally, it helps the body function properly and efficiently. Most people stay appropriately hydrated by listening to their bodies and drinking when they are thirsty. The following tips are helpful ways to stay hydrated this autumn:

Drink water throughout the day rather than wait to be thirsty.

Thirst is the most obvious sign of lack of water in the body, but the amount of water people will consume when they are thirsty is often less than the amount of water their body needs. Also, drinking too fast or too much water when thirsty may be harmful. Therefore, drinking water regularly helps the body to absorb it better and avoid injury.

Drink more room temperature water.

Sometimes drinking a cold glass of water is just what is needed. For instance, it is beneficial to drink colder water when working out, when sweating, or when the body needs a boost. However, drinking room temperature water is favorable for maintaining good health because it helps fight off sinus infections and congestion, improve digestion, and avoid feeling of being thirsty.

Drink a glass of water every morning.

Drinking a glass of water in the morning helps to replenish the water consumed overnight. It is especially advantageous to refresh, stimulate, and energize the body since most people do not drink enough water during the day to stay properly hydrated.

3. What kind of water to drink?

Life Solutions’ water purification equipment is ideal for drinking clean water that hydrates the body. Unfiltered water contains harmful substances. With Life Solutions, these pollutants are removed through a water purifier while retaining those minerals beneficial to the body. Their water purification systems have a built-in filter element that incorporates a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane and removes 99% of pollutants (including heavy metals, pesticides, and viruses). The result is clean, healthy drinking water.

Life Solutions’ water purification equipment is also recognized for other qualities.

As autumn approaches with its warm and dry weather that is more comfortable than other times of the year, remember to drink water and properly hydrate. Life Solutions’ water purification systems help ensure drinking water is fresh and healthy.
