When you remove the water from a piece of fruit the enzyme activity of that fruit is slowed. This is one way we preserve food. Similarly, the cleaning experts tell you that if you want to increase the cleaning power of your laundry detergent increase the water content. The dirt must be able to be dissolved in the water to clean the clothes. Really the detergent is just making the water "wetter."
Many people have found that just by increasing the amount of pure water they drink every day they feel better and lose weight, too.
The process that God designed for purification of water is two-fold. First the water cycle whereby water evaporates from the ocean and is moved and cooled by the wind, then dropped to the earth as rain is a distillation process. Second the rain travels through soil and rocky ground filtering it. Therefore the processes for purifying your water should be one or both of these.
If you buy distilled water make sure it does not taste or smell like plastic. Hard plastic containers are better than soft. And glass containers are best.
