When it comes to buying a water purifier for your home, there is a whole range of them available in the market today. Starting from those which are available at a low price of $30-$40 to those for which the price goes up to $800. Everpure water filters are one such $300-$800 ranged filters. Let's take these filters as an example to discuss if they are really worth it or are they simply burning a hole in your pocket?

The water supplied in our homes is full of contaminants and impurities like bacteria, viruses, cysts, lead, copper, arsenic, chlorine, pesticides, drugs etc. This water if consumed directly can lead to various health ailments. It is due to this fact that we need to depend on home water purification devices. Everpure water filters are one expensive brand in the market which are effective in removing most of the above mentioned contaminants.

But what these Everpure water filters fail to remove are the dangerous chlorine by-products. Chlorine has a property of reacting with organic pollutants in water and generating various toxic derivatives like chloroform and TTHMs (Total Trihalomethanes). Tell me, if you know that a water purifier is not able to remove such carcinogens, would you still like taking the risk of consuming such "filtered" water?

The basic model of Everpure water filters which lacks this capability of handling TTHMs is ranged anywhere in between $300 and $400. Do you really think it is worth a buy; when there are multi stage water purifiers already available at a much reasonable price. Not to forget that these multi stage filters are 99% effective for all types of contaminants including TTHMs and VOCs.

The advanced model of Everpure water filters is claimed (is still debatable) to have the ability to filter out all these tough contaminants as well. The reason why I took the liberty of calling it debatable is the fact that they are basically a combination of the basic filter and a reverse osmosis based filter. A reverse osmosis water filter is something which makes their advanced filter even worse than the basic ones. And to top this it is priced at a high $800.

The truth about what reverse osmosis can do to your drinking water is no more a secret. They actually strip off all essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, zinc etc from the water thereby making it de-mineralized. Consuming such water not only gives a flat taste but is very unhealthy too. It can also lead to multiple mineral deficiencies!

In brief, the market is flooded with many purifiers like Everpure water filters- they may be good but not the best value for your money. Why not do some research about multi stage water purifiers? They are effective, efficient and evenly priced. The decision is in your hands. Think twice and do not get carried away by any brand name.

We hear the word often and know in a general sense what it means - not drinking enough fluids so as to cause the body to become dehydrated. However, do we completely understand the symptoms, causes and treatments for this all-too-familiar malady?

MayoClinic.com describes dehydration as something that "occurs when you lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn't have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions." The body needs a certain amount of fluid in order to operate or function normally. The longer the body experiences dehydration, the more severe it becomes. For many, however, dehydration is usually mild or moderate.

Typically, dehydration is associated with sickness, as when we suffer from vomiting or diarrhea or other flu-like symptoms. These symptoms cause the body to lose fluids while also, in many cases, preventing the body from adequately re-supplying those lost fluids.

In addition, dehydration can also occur after intense exercise or workouts, especially if sufficient fluid intake is not practiced.

To prevent dehydration while exercising, regular fluid intake is important before, during and after a workout. Hydrating before a workout helps the body to build up reserves, while hydrating during and after exercise helps replace fluids lost during exercise.

If dehydration is serious, individuals should call their doctor or go to an emergency room. Severe dehydration is characterized by extreme thirst, lack of sweating, little or no urination and rapid heartbeat, among other symptoms, according to MayoClinic.com.

Water or sports drinks are both good sources of fluids to prevent dehydration. Both help the body to rehydrate. Dehydration can become serious if sufficient attention is not paid to its symptoms and causes. It's important to stay in-tune with the body-knowing early on when symptoms appear and what to do to treat those symptoms.
