What are the Health Benefits of Drinking Reverse Osmosis Water?
Water, the most basic fluid, essential to sustain all living organism is so convenient nowadays. When thirsty or need it for cooking or washing we just turn on our faucet. But having easy access to water doesn’t always guarantee that it is safe for consumption.
Back in the old days most people were already conscious of drinking safe water. The old method of purifying water was simply boiling it for an hour or so. It wasn’t until the year 1970 when the process of Reverse Osmosis was introduced as a way of making water much more safe for human consumption. This kind of water purification forces water molecules through semi permeable membrane that filters the water contaminants that are bigger than the water molecules.
