4. Filtered Water
By filtered water, we are referring to any water that has gone through some type of filtration system, usually either a pitcher type or sink mounted filtration system. This is the kind of system most people go for when they decide they want to stop the bottled water habit and clean up their tap water. This is usually a very good option as most filters get rid of a great deal of the toxins, but leave the minerals in the water. If you are shopping for a filtration system, be sure to check the numbers as all filtration systems are not created equal. Also, buy a few replacement filters when you buy your system, so you will have no excuse for not changing the filter when you need to.

If you have a reverse osmosis filtration system and find that you or your family is plagued with constipation, this is most likely the reason why. Remineralize your water by adding a pinch of Himalayan salt to replace the lost minerals.
