Water has a direct influence on our health. This is logical since we’re basically built of water – brain contains 90 % of it and the rest of the body 60 – 70 % (depends of the age). So regular drinking is important. Juices, tea, beer and similar drinks are not water. Our body first has to process all of these liquids to get useful water out of it, which puts stress on the liver and other body parts. Drinking is also the basic step of sliming with the water diet.

 

Quantity and quality are two perspectives of water drinking. A sufficient quantity is 1,5 – 2 litres of water per day for an adult person, which we often lack to accomplish. In this case we are chronically dehydrated and much more prone to certain illnesses.

 

Quality of the water we drink should be as high as possible. Where good quality tap water is available, buying bottled is nonsense. Most recent researches actually provided exactly opposite results – bottled water can potentially be a health hazard because of high content of antimony, which is used as a catalyst in plastic bottle production (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-379624/The-poison-lurking-plastic-water-bottle.html). Bisphenol, which is supposed to cause cardiovascular illnesses, diabetes and liver problems  is also proving to be problematic. (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=plastic-not-fantastic-with-bisphenol-a) Other chemicals that disturb hormone functions are present in the plastic bottles as well.

 

Harmful substances in the water are a logical consequence of the fact that water is aggressive and it ‘dissolves’ the materials used to bottle it. Glass is resistant to this phenomenon, which is the reason why so many drinks get bottled in containers made of glass. Same goes for the bottled water at the higher price range.

 

Water chlorination is a procedure that makes water harmless to your health. Flaška successfully neutralizes chlorine’s negative effect.

 

Flaška is made of glass and will make sure that you have good quality and healthy water at the reach of your hand all of the time. Water from Flaška is simply better than water from a plastic bottle!
