5 Facts About Water and Nutrition

Between 50-80% of the human body is made up of water so it’s easy to see why drinking enough is so important. Though as an estimated 80% of all diseases and 50% of child deaths worldwide are related to poor water quality and sanitation, it’s not just about how much water you drink—its quality can be even more important in your overall health.

This article explores five key facts about water nutrition and shows how Billi’s advanced filtration and sparkling water systems offer the best possible hydration for both your health and the environment.

Fact 1: Water Supports Crucial Bodily Functions

Water powers many essential processes in your body, including digestion, nutrient transportation, and waste elimination. It also plays a critical role in regulating body temperature. Mild dehydration can disrupt these functions, leading to fatigue and decreased mental clarity.

Australian guidelines recommend drinking 2-2.5 litres of water a day to stay properly hydrated. Without clean water, your body struggles to maintain its essential functions.

Fact 2: Tap Water Often Contains Harmful Contaminants

While many trust their tap water, studies show it often contains harmful contaminants like lead, chlorine, and parasitic cysts. In fact, according to one study, almost 100% of tap water samples in New South Wales contained copper and 56% contained lead, with levels exceeding Australian Drinking Water Guidelines in some cases. Over time, these substances can negatively impact your health and also affect the taste and smell of your water.

Billi’s filtration technology ensures that your water is clean but retains key minerals like calcium and magnesium that your body needs to function at its best.

Fact 3: Sparkling Water Is a Healthy, Zero-Calorie Option

Many people enjoy bubbles in their drinks  but worry about the calories in soda water or the carbs in soda water, with high-quality, homemade sparkling water from your Billi system this thankfully isn’t an issue and studies have even shown drinking sparkling water can improve cholesterol levels.

Billi’s systems also offer customisable carbonation levels, allowing you to control the fizz and enjoy your water exactly how you like it. Plus, by using a home sparkling water system, you eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Fact 4: Billi’s Filtration Systems Keep the Good and Remove the Bad

Billi’s advanced filtration technology removes harmful contaminants like chlorine and lead while retaining important minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals are vital for bone health, muscle function, and overall wellbeing.

In addition, Billi filters eliminates 99.999% of harmful bacteria and viruses, making your water both safe and nutrient-rich. This combination of technologies ensures that your water is not just clean but optimised for your health.

Fact 5: Filtered Water Supports Both Health and the Environment

Filtered water offers a range of health benefits by removing harmful chemicals while preserving beneficial minerals. It’s far better than tap water for hydration and ensures your body gets the nutrients it needs without any contaminants.

Using filtration systems at home can drastically reduce the need for bottled water, reducing plastic waste. This shift is beneficial for both health and the environment, as it cuts down on single-use plastic bottles and ensures access to cleaner, mineral-rich water.
