Is Your Heathy Lifestyle Destroying The Planet?

Blog Layout

Does the very idea of your heathy life choices having anything to do with the environment sound like nonsense to you? Then consider this: daily water intake is just one, small part of healthy living, and if you’re getting that water from single-use plastic bottles, the environmental effects are devastating.

We’ll show you.

While there is no formula or consensus on how much water a person should drink each day, let’s start with the typical advice you’re likely to hear, which is “drink eight glasses of water per day.” Assuming those are 8-oz glasses, that would be 64 ounces per day. (A person who is exercising daily probably needs much more, but we’ll go with it.)

A person would need to drink more than three 20-oz. single-use plastic bottles per day to reach this ideal. Given that the standard size of single-use plastic bottles has shrunk to 16.9 ounces, it would be closer to four bottles, but we’ll stick with three of the 20-ouncers.

Those seemingly harmless three bottles per day add up to 1,095 bottles per year. For just one person.

What impact does that have on landfills and bodies of water? Let’s add it up.

Empty, one plastic bottles weighs 23.8 grams. The total weight of those 1,095 discarded bottles is 26,061 grams. There are 453.9 grams in one pound, meaning those 1,095 bottles weigh a staggering 57 and half pounds. All from a single person trying to be healthy.

Extrapolate that number to the millions of people trying to lead healthy lives, and it multiplies quickly. Every million people equals 57.5 million pounds of plastic waste just from three water bottles per day!

Being healthy is very important, but so is making smart choices about the environment. Getting your water from a renewable source and carrying it in a multi-use container is vital to the health … of the planet.

Boost Your Gut Health with Filtered Sparkling Water

February 17, 2025

The Link Between Hydration and Gut Health Your gut is at the core of your overall well-being, playing a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and even immune function. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system, but not all water is created equal. While sugary sodas and artificial beverages can disrupt gut flora, sparkling filtered water offers a refreshing and beneficial alternative. How Sparkling Filtered Water Supports Digestive Health 1. Aiding Digestion Ever felt bloated or sluggish after a meal? Carbonation in sparkling water can help stimulate digestion by promoting the natural release of digestive enzymes. This mild effervescence can also ease feelings of fullness, making it a great option after a heavy meal. 2. Reducing Bloating and Constipation Filtered sparkling water has been shown to help relieve constipation by improving bowel movements. The gentle bubbles can stimulate peristalsis, the wave-like muscle contractions that move food through your intestines, helping to prevent sluggish digestion. 3. Maintaining a Balanced Microbiome Your gut microbiome thrives when you consume pure, clean water. Many tap and bottled waters contain contaminants, chlorine, and even microplastics that can disrupt gut bacteria. By choosing triple-filtered Natura sparkling water, you’re avoiding these harmful elements and providing your digestive system with a cleaner, healthier hydration source. 4. Alleviating Acid Reflux & Heartburn While unfiltered carbonated drinks can sometimes contribute to acid reflux, water from Natura systems are free from artificial sweeteners and acidity-increasing additives, making it a gentler option. The effervescence can also help clear excess mucus from the esophagus, offering relief from mild reflux symptoms. Why Filtered Water Matters for Gut Health Filtering your water removes impurities such as heavy metals, chlorine, and bacteria, all of which can negatively impact gut health. Sparkling filtered water provides the best of both worlds: a pure, clean hydration source with the digestive benefits of carbonation.
