It's no secret that one of the keys to staying healthy is to stay hydrated. Yet, roughly 75% of Americans still suffer from chronic dehydration. Health officials continue to emphasize the importance of proper hydration. And with summer officially beginning and the temperatures rising, it's even more essential to stay hydrated! So how can we take steps in the right direction to improve our health and hydration? Lindyspring Systems has come up with some simple, yet genius, ways to stay hydrated. Take a look:

Infuse your water

We get it, water alone can be pretty boring. Instead of opting for a flavor and sugar packed soft drink, opt for something more natural—like water infused with watermelon chunks and mint or orange slices. To fully fuse the flavors, combine the ingredients in a pitcher and let them sit for up to a day before drinking.

Include these juicy fruits and veggies into your everyday diet:

Cucumbers
Hydrate and replenish your skin with fresh cucumbers. In addition to containing 95 percent water, cucumbers are rich in anti-inflammatory compounds that help remove waste from the body and reduce skin irritation.

Iceberg Lettuce
Iceberg lettuce contains 95 percent water. That makes it a good hydrating base for your summer salad. However, if you prefer the heart-healthy benefits of leafy greens instead, spinach is a good alternative at 91 percent water by weight.

Celery
Celery will satisfy your craving for crunch. It’s also tied with cucumbers and iceberg lettuce at 95 percent water by weight. You can feel good about eating celery because of its low calorie count and high value in vitamin K, folate and potassium.

Watermelon
Watermelon flesh contains 91 percent water. This summer treat also contains abundant lycopene, which can help protect cells from sun damage and improve your complexion.

Strawberries
They’re sweet enough you can eat them for dessert. But the benefits of strawberries go beyond flavor and 91 percent water content. They provide a rich source of flavonoids, compounds associated with improved cognitive function.

Make water part of your diet plan

Did you know that whenever you feel hungry, your body is actually more than likely just craving water? Whenever you get that hungry pang, try drinking a glass of water as an appetizer. As a matter of fact, drink a glass of water before every meal to help lose weight. You'll not only fill your stomach, but prevent yourself from overeating.

Get a water filtration or purification system for your home

If the water source in your home isn't treated, your water probably doesn't taste very good. There could be contaminants such as chlorine or sulfur in your water. Bitter tasting water is often caused when the pH of your water is out-of-sync. By having a Lindyspring water treatment system installed in your home, you'll improve the taste of your water. Not only does filtered or purified water taste better, but it's more convenient and cost effective than buying bottled water. If it's more easily accessible, you'll be more likely to drink it.

Lindyspring Impression Series RC Conditioners
A Single System Used to Effectively Treat Municipal Water

• Removes hardness
• Removes chlorine and associated odors
• Softens household water using minimal salt and water

Whether you have municipal water that is hard or chlorinated, Impression Series®RC water conditioners deliver the clear, soft, odor-free water you want and need. It's environmentally-friendly tank design eliminates the need for two systems by combining two medias into one tank. The activated carbon removes chlorine and other unwanted tastes while the high capacity resin is used for the maximum in softening capabilities. It's true . . . nothing will last longer than your first Impression.

Lindyspring Sanitizer
For homeowners who use well water, the sanitizer water conditioning system is recognized for its unique ability to kill and remove iron and sulfur bacteria - a naturally-occurring bacteria what can incubate and grow in water softener beds and other water appliances. Most homeowners experience this problem as red or black slime and stains on plumbing fixtures, and foul smells when operating a tap.

The system safely creates chlorine from the softener's brine solution. The dissolved chlorine then sanitizes the media bed with each regeneration of the system. An exclusive crystalline media acts as a superior filter and softener that removes iron, manganese and hardness - while raising pH to acceptable level and securing chlorine for continued media sanitizing.

Water Softeners - LCR Series II
The LCR Series II water softener removes unwanted hardness or minerals from your household water - whether from municipal sources or private wells. Used alone or in combination with Lindyspring filters and neutralizers, this system can meet the most challenging water problems existing today. Our water softeners come in different sizes to conform to anything from a condo which is a mini sized unit all the way up to the large units.

Some minerals are important for a healthy body and mind. We can get those essential minerals by consumption of foods and drinks. However, there are some minerals often found in our drinking water that can be harmful to the body when too much is consumed. Lindyspring Systems has come up with a list of the 3 most common minerals found in drinking water that can be harmful if consumed.

1. Fluoride

Hard water problems at the Lake of the Ozarks can wreak havoc on your plumbing, appliances and even your hair and skin. As a homeowner, you want to know that investing money in a water softener is going to be worth the cost. Part of knowing that your investment is making a difference is understanding how a water softener works and why it's essential to have one in your home. So first, let's take a look at the difference between hard and soft water and which is better for your home.

Hard Water vs. Soft Water
Water quality differs depending on where you live and whether you’re getting water from a municipality or a private well. Regardless as to where it comes from though, both sources are known to contain hardness minerals. Calcium and magnesium are the most common minerals found in water that causes hardness. Minerals from groundwater - the source of all water regardless of whether it comes to your home from a municipality or well - can cause a scaly buildup on everything from dishes, to pipes, to the heating elements of your appliances, to your own body. Water softeners remove those hard minerals, prolonging the life of appliances that use water and making it easier to clean and do laundry.

How Hard Water Becomes Soft
So how do water softeners get the minerals out? Water softeners use a process called ion exchange to remove things like calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese – replacing them with sodium ions. As hard water passes through your water softener tank, calcium or magnesium are pulled to the media like a magnet, and sodium ions take their place. All the hardness minerals stay trapped inside the water softener tank while the clean water, with a few sodium ions, disperse throughout your home for use. No more scaly build up!

Regeneration is how a water softening system cleans and recharges itself so it can continue providing your home with soft water. This process happens in the brine tank, where you add water softener salt. During regeneration, the water softener will take the brine solution into the softener tank and the ion exchange process happens again, only this time in reverse. The media gets a bath in the salt solution. Hard minerals caught in the resin are released and the media gets replenished with sodium ions. The water softener is also cleaned and disinfected during regeneration. Finally, water containing the hard minerals and other waste gets flushed out of the system.

Do You Need a Water Softener?
Here's the bottom line. Water softeners aren't just for those homes whose water supply comes from a private well with extremely hard water. Even people living in the city who are on municipality water sources can have hard water too. Municipalities are required to treat the water for impurities, but they do not remove hardness minerals because, while they're burdensome and can be costly when it comes to home care and maintenance, they are not harmful to your health. Regardless as to where your water comes from, the modern home depends on soft water. High efficiency appliances can not run as designed when they suffer from hard water build up. Dishwashers and washing machines could end up with a much shorter lifespan because of hard water. You could end up spending thousands on avoidable plumbing and appliance repairs or replacement by installing a water softener in your home.
