(Derek Henry for NaturalNews) When you start to become healthy, one of the easiest things to incorporate into your routine is increased water consumption.

In a study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), 9 out of 10 of the most popular brands failed to identify the methods in which their product was filtered or purified.
