The REAL Reasons Why You Should Drink Distilled Water

[@bonnieforman9700]

I've been drinking distilled water by my own distiller since 1985. So many people have said that I will get ill from it because it has no minerals. My skin looks very clear and when I see what I take out of my boiling tank after distilling water, I am shocked that all that sediment would have gone into my joints and arteries. Thank you so much for doing this video.

[@2201sunflower]

Do you hv to supplement yourself with other minerals? How do you know you hv sufficient minerals?

[@allison471]

I'm curious too do you take electrolytes or minerals?

[@nicho_libre]

Since water is so reactive on it's own, it's a great idea to begin drinking distilled water as a sort of cleanse. Some people try 30 days of pure h20 and others go for years. If you're noticing any negative effects after a while like headaches or hair loss, it might mean that you've cleansed all of the bad sediments from your system and you might have started removing important minerals, due to the nature of water leaching minerals. At that point you can start adding trace minerals such as ionized magnesium.

[@farahnaz8885]

What is distilled water? Please

[@JanetSmith900]

I got a filter and most of the minerals are removed. A couple times a day I add a pinch or two of sea salt, but it tastes amazing with or without it.

Thanks for the video. Literally everything you said is so true. I got a reverse osmosis mini system in my truck. As a trucker I'm only limited drinking bottled water. And doing it for 3-4 years continuesly made me sick like a zombie, vision got worst, than everytime started sweating I got rashes on my hand, muscles started to hurt, bones, always sleepy, depressed, overweight, signs of cancer. Changed my diet, added some vitamins, but still never felt like I used to be. Than I remembered how terrible was the water when I first started truck driving (because I got so used to terrible water, I didn't notice it anymore). So I decided to to reverse osmosis my drinking water regardless it's a 1 gallon water, or a bottle water or any water I passed it through reverse osmosis. Had to reprocess the rejected water twice,because reverse osmosis only cleans 40% of water and rejects the rest. After using it the first day the next day I woke up and felt my mind was so clear. Than after 3 days use my eyes started seeing better, more focused. Than my skin rashes began to disappear. After 10 days my ballocks got bigger. The food I'm eating is well processed. Looks like my body is detoxifying from heavy metals and other chemicals that is causing my mind to become cloudy. Dirty wayer effects my hormones, eyes, skin, my voice, causes weight gain. I think drinking distilled or reverse osmosis water it's like adding a distilled cup of water in a bucket of dirty water, and than after mixing the clean water with a dirty bucket water and removing a cup of water from the bucket you end up with much cleaner water in the bucket than it was before. So kidneys don't have to overwork removing toxins from the drinking water, instead it focuses removing the rest of the toxins inside the body.

Yes, your nails are growing thicker, faster. Your hair is growing thicker, and you'll look a lot nicer. Plus, I think it slows down their aging process. I've been drinking the distill water for about five years. I enjoy mixing lemon or limes with my distilled water, because then it mixes with metals in your body and creates an electric current of healing and intelligent. That's how a battery is made, distilled water, because it's a conductor of electricity. Then you need citric acid and take some magnesium or zinc. You have a battery. Plus I am more spiritual.

I use distilled water and do my own. Just a few tips... 1. Don't let the distiller shut off by itself, I had two that the bottom of the distillers cracked, use a timer and shut it off when there is about 1/8-1/4" water in the distiller. When your gallon jug is about full shut it off. 2. Put a tablespoon of Citric Acid in the distiller with the water you are distilling, it will keep the gunk in the distiller from sticking to the pot and keep it clean. The Citric Acid will not hurt you, it is used in cooking and in candies. I use it to clean my coffee pot too. 3. I replace just the charcoal in the filter, I don't replace the filter itself, a box of charcoal is cheaper.

As a plumber, the biggest issue I have found with using filters is people DO NOT replace them, nearly early enough, given the cost-in my country, at least-or just plain laziness?? Once I explain that once a filter has reached saturation point, of it's ability to filter out the nasties, then those impurities are leached back into the water stream, at a far higher rate {exponentially so}. So, you would be better off, drinking tap water. That's why I buy it. Maybe not ideal (the product I use states it has no BPAs, etc. in their container; but still??), but better than the alternative. I have made it myself, in the distant past, but it is a real hassle, & given energy costs (amongst other things), not viable. Glad you made this, to inform people of other options.

Springs do not produce distilled water . If it comes up from the ground in a spring it will have trace minerals . The only way you can get distilled water is to boil and separate the water from the minerals through steam .

I just feel like the more we research about nutrition, the more we realise that the way our society functions is actually very bad for us as humans, in the long run, all of this causes a lot of damage to your body both mentally and physically. For example, it is extremely hard to get clean, organic food in today's world, and even if you can, it usually costs a lot. A bar of chocolate full of preservatives and fat trans costs 1 dollar, a pack of broccoli sprouts full of phytonutrients costs 10x that. Not to mention the air we breathe, the water we drink, as we have no control over many aspects, we have no idea what is in there. Life before industrialisation must have been much healthier, especially if you live in the countryside, away from the cities.

back in the day when i was a competitive bodybuilder, about eight weeks out from a contest i would only drink distilled water. i was so in tune with my body i could absolutely tell my body preferred distilled water over any other kind of water. there seems to be some sort of distilled water shortage in my area these days, so i have been making my own at home. i pop the vent cap off of an instant pot, then run a copper tube (flexible copper pipe) from the vent into a 5 gallon bucket of water (does not need to be cold water). the other end of the copper tube comes out of the bucket of water and hangs over a glass receptacle like a mason's jar or glass mug (don't use plastic because the water can be hot sometimes). i put tap water in the instant pot and pressure cook it. the tap water turns to steam, which runs though the copper pipe, is cooled in the bucket of water and converted from steam into pure distilled water that drips out the end of the copper tube into the glass receptacle. it's a slow process. makes about 2 cups in 40 minutes, but last week in my spare time i made 4 gallons of distilled water just using a small instant pot. i no longer use that instant pot for cooking food, because i could taste the food in my distilled water. but after several cycles of just making distilled water the food taste is gone.

Get a water distiller from Megahome and a timer to stop it from running dry. Use 2 packets of activated charcoal to filter out the VOC's aka the glasses that evaporate before the water.

Since mid 1990’s my tap water flows through three different types of water filters and that filtered output gets distilled. Thus, for nearly 30 years I’ve distilled all of the drinking and cooking water consumed by myself and family. Cleaning and setting up the distiller takes about five minutes, usually twice per day. When we leave the house we carry one or two liters of water in glass water bottles. KEY POINT: After distilling a one gallon batch of the triple-filtered tap water, the residue inside the distiller is ghastly. The residue is a paste, I believe it is dissolved limestone, toxins and fluoride. I never get comfortable seeing it, it’s always shocking. I feel sorry for my neighbors who are naively drinking and cooking with the the tap water. The tap water in my city comes from 17 wells, they rotate drawing from the 17 wells.

My biggest problem with drinking distilled or RO water is that we don't really know what the ideal electrolyte composition is to put back into the water. We can make educated guesses, but the science just isn't particularly clear or conclusive on it. There are even certain minerals in very small amounts contained in natural water that we just aren't sure what they're for or whether or not they're necessary for our health and to what degree, such as chromium. That's why I'll always consider clean spring or glacier water to be the best type of water to drink. We (nor any other mammal) evolved drinking primarily distilled water; it's unnatural. It's just not what our bodies are designed for. I can see some logic in doing it for a short while so as to flush some of the bad stuff out of your system, but over the long-term I have my doubts about whether you'd be doing your health any favours.

[@joshuahenman2506]

The majority of all minerals is from food. Distilled seems very beneficial even long term. If you're that worried about not getting minerals from water add some celtic salt and Himalayan salt. Some is better than none and lastly why not mix through out the day distilled water with your spring water? Drink both! Benefits from both every day see what I'm saying and a healthy diet as well
