Herd immunity occurs when a large part of a community (the herd) becomes immune to a disease. The spread of disease from person to person becomes less likely when herd immunity is achieved. As a result, the entire community becomes protected — not just those who are immune.
To help improve immunity, particularly following the height of a pandemic, it is important to drink clean water. Water brings balance to the body and takes care of important everyday functions, like regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, and eliminating toxins and waste. It helps people stay hydrated, stave off illness and maintain good health.
How does drinking clean water impact immunity?
The body’s immune function is controlled by the immune system, which is composed of cells, molecules and tissues. These elements, which are crucial to the functioning of the body’s organs, are found in clean water. As more clean water is consumed, digestion and absorption of food and nutrition is improved. Additionally, clean water assists with excretion, which helps people combat viruses.
In contrast, impure water often causes stomach pain, diarrhea, abdominal issues and gastrointestinal problems. While many people gravitate to bottled water, it is not guaranteed to be uncontaminated. Unless certified, it can easily breed bacteria and lead to many of the same issues as impure water. These problems can comprise the body’s immune system, preventing immunity and increasing the risk of infection.
What is the best way to ensure drinking water protects immunity?
Reverse osmosis (RO) as part of the water purification process can effectively guarantee safe drinking water that protects the immune system and supports good health. In addition to providing a more desirable taste and smell, RO water purifiers reduce the risk of exposure to viruses by filtering out the majority of the bacteria in the water that can lead to infections and unwell conditions.
Life Solutions, which specializes in providing clean drinking water for maintaining good health, provides water purification systems that utilize the RO membrane. The RO membrane can remove 99% of pollutants (including heavy metals, pesticides, bacteria and viruses) to provide clean, safe drinking water that supports healthy immune systems.
All filtration products that are part of Life Solutions’ water purification equipment have passed CCC (3C) certification, exceeding China’s drinking water standard of CJ94-2005 purification.
Besides water purification equipment can be customized to meet specific needs, Life Solutions provides various maintenance services that include changing the filter element at least three times a year to ensure proper operation and continual clean drinking water that upholds wellbeing.
Without doubt, drinking purified water can enhance immunity, which is especially important while dealing with a pandemic.
