In this post, we explain why we are so concerned about water purity, how our concerns initially arose and what do we do to solve the problem.
We all know, at least on some deep unconscious level, that water from the tap is not really that safe to drink.
Are chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride, which are added to tap water, really safe? Is the water filtered well enough before it reaches our tap? Are the pipes completely free from corrosion?
We all seek ways to access clean, potable water that is free from both bacteria and chemicals. And it is because of such doubts that the bottled water industry is on the rise today.
The fact that the quality of our food affects directly our health and well-being is unquestionable.
Certainly, the most important part of eating good food is to buy quality ingredients. At the same time, the tools we use to prepare our food can have a huge impact on how healthy it is.
That is, we believe that we should be quite careful not to contaminate our food with toxins while we cook it.
Packaging plays an undeniably important role to protect and preserve our food, to keep it fresh, clean and safe.
There are different kinds of packaging such as paper or plastic. But which material is predominantly used? We all agree here – plastic.
If you look around in every shop, all you see are plastic wrappings. Be it fruits and vegetables, meat, cheese, bread, water… Even hot coffee, tea and other drinks for on the go are served oftentimes in plastic cups.
At the same time, the plastic packaging contains a number of chemicals that can be harmful to our health if they leach into the food we eat.
They are linked to disruptions of the endocrine system, play a role in unlocking allergies and asthma, among others. The chemicals are known to disturb the hormonal balance in our bodies and are especially toxic to young children.
Plastic packaging is a necessity when it comes to preserving and protecting our food during its long journey from the manufacturer to our plates.
At the same time, plastic is known to leach toxins into the food that comes into close contact with it, especially when the plastic is heated or scratched.
Even more, usually the time our food spends in its packaging throughout the distribution chain is a lot longer than the time it spends in our homes.
Therefore, we need to choose those foods that have had the least contact with synthetic packaging.
