As of late, stories about the discoveries of arsenic or lead in the drinking water of some area or other have been circulating the news.   The warnings of air pollution mixing with rainwater and entering the ground water are very compelling. What we used to be able to take for granted is now a frightening mystery. Where does that water come from? What else is in it? Will it cause my family and me to become ill?

New Wave gives you one great reason not to worry:  The Premium 10 Stage Drinking Water Filter.  Not only will it remove dangerous contaminants from your drinking water, but the water will taste fantastic as well.  Nothing quenches your thirst like fresh, pure water.   Learn more about the filter at http://www.newwaveenviro.com/premium-10-stage-water-filter-p-86.html.

Below is a review of the Premium 10 Stage Drinking Water Filter from a satisfied customer:

“I HATE tapwater. I will NOT drink it! I grew up on springwater, and the taste of chlorine is disgusting to me. So, before I got this wonderful gadget, my husband and I would take turns driving to the organic super market and filling up our 5 gallon jug and then lugging it home, sometimes three times a week! Needless to say, that got old fast!

When I bought this I was very skeptical that it would work. However, it performs FLAWLESSLY, and makes water that tastes just as good if not better than bottled. I drink loads more water now that I don’t have to worry about running out. Easy set up, easy use.”

‘Wateruseitwisely.com’ recently created a list of 100 ways to conserve water.  It’s no surprise that ‘refilling a water bottle daily’ was featured on that list.  If you need a water bottle then look no further, as New Wave Enviro provides a plethora of ECO-nomical, BPA free drinking water bottles!

Taking a shower using New Wave Enviro’s Premium Shower Filter is an essential part of my morning routine.  It is also an essential way to manage my health, because I have found that you can drastically improve your health and beauty by installing a filter in your shower head.

Most people are not aware of the dangers they are exposed to when showering without a filter, namely chlorine.  Chlorine is often used to purify the water we drink and bathe in; however, it is very dangerous to our health.  Exposure to chlorine can lead to such health problems as heart disease, bladder and breast cancer, and asthma.  What’s mind-boggling is that 50% of our exposure to chlorine happens in the shower, both through skin contact and inhalation, as the heat from a hot shower releases chlorine vapors which contaminate the lungs.

Health threats aside, shower filters can do a lot to enhance your beauty.  You can actually replace expensive lotions and moisturizes with a shower filter, because water, with the absence of chlorine, hydrates and rejuvenates skin.  Upon using the filter, your hair will also begin to heal itself from all the damage chlorine has caused it and your skin will appear vibrant and smooth.  How about that for cost-benefit analysis!

A recent study performed on mice revealed that prenatal exposure to bisphenol-A (BPA) may affect a fetus for life.  Therefore, adult women who were exposed prenatally to BPA could be at increased risk of breast cancer, according to a new study soon to be published in Hormones & Cancer.  BPA is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that interferes with normal reproductive, developmental, neurological, and immune functions in humans and animals.  Endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as BPA are designed, produced and marketed largely for specific industrial purposes.

In a recent post featured on ecochildsplay.com, the author recalls drinking pregnancy tea during both of her pregnancies.  Pregnancy tea is chock full of important vitamins and minerals that assist in healthy fetal development.  The abovementioned author drank the tea from a Nalgene bottle, before anyone became aware of the existence of BPA in plastics.  Now, we are well aware of the dangerous health effects linked to BPA.

Thankfully, New Wave Enviro provides a wide array of 100% BPA Free water bottles, including the only reusable 5 Gallon BPA Free bottle.  Visit ‘www.newwaveenviro.com’ to learn more about New Wave Enviro’s awesome BPA Free and eco-friendly products.

The State of New York recently placed a 5-cent deposit on bottled water, implying that New York consumers will pay $2 more for a 24-pack of water.  This may be the nudge that many people need to get over their dependency on bottled water and switch to healthier solutions.

According to an article from treehugger.com titled “A World of Reasons to Ditch Bottled Water,” approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil, enough to run 100,000 cars for a whole year, are used to make plastic water bottles, which is one of the reasons why a gallon of bottled water costs 10,000 times more than a gallon of tap water.

The issue shouldn’t just be about the extra cost, but more about your health and the welfare of our planet.  Plastic is essentially no better for us than junk food.  According to Nature Solutions Magazine, 10 brands of water bottles have been found to contain 38 contaminants including bacteria, acetaminophen, fertilizer, solvents and strontium, a radioactive element.  Bottled water is not regulated by the government like tap water is.  So chances are your unfiltered tap water is cleaner than the bottled water you are drinking.

It is imperative that you invest in a New Wave Premium 10 Stage Water Filter to ensure that your water is pure and contaminant-free.  Want the convenient aspect of bottled water?  You can purchase one of New Wave’s BPA free Seriously Safe Stainless Steel drinking water bottles.  That way, any water you and your family consume in and out of the house will be purified and healthy for you and the environment!

With all of the news circulating of bisphenol A (BPA) legislation in the United States, it’s not surprising that other countries around the globe have taken a stance against the toxic chemical as well.  International pressure to eliminate BPA has intensified after our neighbor across the Pacific Ocean unveiled a deal with major retailers to begin the immediate phasing out of baby bottles containing BPA.  That the chemical is used as a plasticiser in polycarbonate bottles was the primary reason behind the Australian Government brokering the deal with a string of leading retailers, including Coles, K Mart, and Target.  The move coincides with the start of Denmark’s ban on the chemical in food contact materials aimed at children aged three and under. Last week, the French senate confirmed it would be introducing a similar ban as well.  The phase out in Australia begins today, July 1st.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to carry out further research on the effects of BPA.  With convincing evidence already linking BPA with health problems in children, it is imperative that we stop exposing our loved ones to the dangerous toxin.  Please visit www.newwaveenviro.com to learn more about New Wave Enviro’s line of ECO-nomical, BPA-free drinking water bottles.
