Why Do Pregnant Women & Children Need Safe Drinking Water?


WHY DO PREGNANT WOMEN NEED SAFE WATER ?
Health experts consider water to the most important nutrient during pregnancy & breast feeding because water:
  • replenishes amniotic fluid
  • is essential to good breast milk production
  • dilutes urine, reducing the risk of bladder infections
  • contains minerals, essential to the baby's development
  • carries these nutrients to your baby through the blood
  • helps prevent constipation, hemorrhoids, and swelling
  • dehydration can trigger contractions & early labor
  • dehydration interferes with the body's ability to rid itself of waste products
The quality of water is of great concern in a world laced with chemicals, many of which find their way into our drinking water.

WHY DO INFANTS NEED SAFE WATER ?
Studies show water contamination risks are greatly increased for infants, due to their size & development. Environmental contaminants contribute greatly to the incidence of birth defects & developmental disorders.

WHY DO CHILDREN NEED SAFE WATER ?
Studies have found that children who are dehydrated do not work as well in the classroom as those who have consumed 8 glasses a day. All brain activity is neurological and is a chemical activity, which doesn't function without water.

World Health Organization (WHO) Says That Children Bear The Heaviest Burden Of Environmental Disease
  • 3 million children under the age of 5 die each year from environmental hazards.
  • Children's immune systems & detoxification mechanisms are not fully developed, so they are especially vulnerable to chemical, physical, & biological hazards.
  • WHO says 40% of the global burden of disease due to environmental risk factors, fall on children under 5, even though they are only 10% of the population.
This information is not meant to scare you, but to alert you, so that you may take action to protect your family & loved ones.
