The pediatric benefits of a bio-pure water
Children are the category that most needs bio-pure water. Trust Your Water explains the benefits and the risks related to this topic.
Because children have more delicate immune systems than adults, water contaminants pose a more serious threat to the young. Drinking only the highest quality water is one way that parents can contribute to keeping their children healthy, even before they are born.
Children and bio-pure water
Pregnant women need to be especially careful of the water they drink. Certain levels of some water contaminants such as lead, nitrate, and chlorination by-products pose a serious threat to the wellbeing of unborn babies even at low levels that aren’t harmful to older children. Parents with small children should also be conscious of microbiological contaminants like Cryptosporidium and E.coli that are more dangerous to this age group. Children who drink contaminated water can experience malnutrition, dehydration, and episodes of diarrhea, all potentially life-threatening conditions for the very young. The whole family can be harmed by Cryptosporidium, a waterborne microscopic parasite that can withstand temperature extremes and chlorination. Contaminated water poses significant health concerns and currently no antibiotics or other medical treatments effectively kill this protozoan. High levels of Crypto passed through filters and were not eliminated by water treatments in Milwaukee in 1993, resulting in the largest documented waterborne disease occurrence in U.S. history. Concerned parents should also make sure their water is free of certain deposits that can be picked up after leaving the treatment center. Harmful contaminants like lead can infiltrate the clean water supply as it travels through aging pipes. Lead is often referred to as the No. 1 environmental health threat to children in the United States, and lead poisoning can have serious lifelong effects that include permanent brain damage.
