Most of us don’t think twice about the water we drink. If it’s clear and doesn’t smell weird, it’s fine… right?
That’s what I used to think too.
But once I looked deeper, I realized: not all water is created equal — and some types might quietly support your digestion, energy, and skin in ways most people ignore.
Let’s break it down:
Tap water:
❌ Chlorinated (kills bacteria — but also guts yours)
❌ Often carries microplastics from pipes and tanks
❌ Lacks essential minerals like magnesium and silica
Bottled water:
❌ Usually just filtered tap or over-treated “purified” water
❌ Comes with plastic residue, especially if stored warm
❌ High cost for something that should be nearly free
Spring water:
✅ Naturally filtered through rock and soil
✅ Rich in electrolytes: magnesium, calcium, silica
✅ Alive — may contain helpful microbes for your gut

My switch
A few months ago, I started filling glass jugs from a natural spring listed online. Just once or twice a week.
I noticed three things:
— My digestion felt smoother
— I stopped craving salty snacks (probably minerals)
— And yes, it tastes different. A little heavier. More grounded.
This isn’t magic. It’s just nature doing what it’s done forever — before we started over-sanitizing everything.
How to try it
There’s a simple tool that shows local springs around the world:
🔍 FindASpring.org
Type in your city or town
Read the notes (some are capped, some tested)
Bring a clean glass or stainless steel bottle
Fill up. Start small. Feel the difference.
It’s a free bio-upgrade — one of the easiest I’ve found. And it reconnects you with something real, something we’ve forgotten.
