Most people know that they are supposed to drink water, but up to 75 percent of Americans may be functioning in a chronic state of dehydration, according to new research. (link)

Yep. Most of us know we should be drinking more water, but we don't do it. 

Why is that? Why do you resist doing one of the easiest and most important things you can do to benefit your health?

Have you ever had water straight out of a cool mountain spring? Boy, there's nothing more refreshing!

Wouldn't it be nice if tap water tasted that good?

You've already decided that you want to have some kind of water filter for your home. Am I right?

But maybe you're not sure what kind you want or need. I know it can be a little overwhelming.

So I've put together this guide to help you understand what the different options are and how to decide which one is best for you.

Like the rest of the top rated systems, the RO5DX 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis System from Express Water does a fantastic job of removing contaminants and making drinking water taste fresh and clean. 

But it's a good bit less expensive than the others.

Are you looking for ideas for food gifts to make that taste good but aren't one hundred per cent bad for you?

There are plenty of great ideas on Pinterest for food gifts - some healthy, but mostly not so healthy. 

Here's a collection of some of my favorite ideas and recipes for healthy food gifts you can make that you'll feel good about giving. 

Are you thinking about buying a water distiller for your home?

Maybe you've been buying distilled water, but you've had it with hauling jugs from the store. It's tiring, and it's expensive.

And then there are all those empty jugs and bottles to get rid of.

One of the biggest changes I've made in my quest to have a greener and healthier home is in the way I clean my house. I've been replacing toxic commercial cleaning products with homemade cleaners using natural ingredients.

You want an air purifier that will clear out dust, eliminate bad odors, give you relief from your allergy issues, and kill germs in the air - all at the same time.

Is that too much to ask?

Maybe you're having the same experience that I did not very long ago.

You're starting to realize that there are lots of unhealthy things in your home environment. Products you've been using for years and that you never gave a second thought to are turning out to be menaces to your health. From what you're reading and hearing, it seems like almost everything is toxic.
