Water is life—but what kind of water you drink matters just as much.
Dr. Joel Wallach, a pioneer in holistic health, is crystal clear on this: filtered water is the way to go, and plastic bottles should be avoided wherever possible.
Here’s why.
Why Filtered Water Wins
1. Cuts the Chemicals
Chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, bacteria—you don’t want these in your body. A good filtration system removes them all.
2. Tastes Better, Smells Better
No more pool-water flavour. Clean water encourages better hydration, and better hydration = better everything.
3. Keeps the Good Stuff
Top-notch filters remove the bad but leave essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium intact.
4. Helps You Stay Well
Filtered water supports everything—digestion, nutrient transport, joint health, and more. It’s a small habit with massive impact.
The Problem with Plastic Bottles
1. Chemicals Can Leach In
Bottled water often comes with a side of BPA, phthalates, and other endocrine disruptors. They mimic hormones and wreak havoc on your system.
2. You're Drinking Microplastics
Yep, those tiny plastic particles have been found in bottled water. Still early days on the research, but inflammation and toxin exposure are real concerns.
3. They’re a Disaster for the Planet
Single-use bottles pile up in landfills and oceans. Wildlife suffers. Ecosystems collapse. Dr. Wallach says: ditch plastic, choose glass or stainless steel.
The Takeaway
Drinking filtered water from a reusable bottle is one of the simplest, smartest health moves you can make.
