Drink More Water for Healthier Skin

by

Skin care … a hot topic these days. This cream takes away wrinkles. This gel will reduce dark circles. Yes, they all might do what they say, but did you know drinking water can also help you achieve healthier skin?

According to uwhealth.org “drinking an adequate amount of water daily is important for overall good health because water aids in digestion, circulation, absorption and even excretion.” So what does this have to do with drinking water for a healthy epidermis?

It is true that skin is an organ made up of cells, and guess what? These cells are made up of water!

“If you are not getting the sufficient amount of water, the lack of hydration will present itself by turning your skin dry, tight and flaky. This can mean less resilience and more prone to wrinkling.”

So what is the best way to add water to the skin?

The following tips are also from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (uwhealth.org)

  • Apply a hydrating moisturizer within 2 minutes of leaving the bath or shower. The epidermis is still porous and is vulnerable to products that are applied following the bath or shower, allowing better absorption.
  • Apply a product containing hyaluronic acid prior to your moisturizer, such as Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel. Hyaluronic acid holds 1,000 times its own weight in water, thus attracting water to the skin and holding it there.
  • Drink more water. Drinking at least 8 glasses a day will help rid the body of toxins. Everyone will not agree that water consumption will improve skin… but it certainly can’t hurt. Many people often report that by increasing their water intake, their skin has a more radiant glow. Those who suffer from acne have reported the same results. Nothing will happen overnight, but even a good couple of weeks of increasing water intake should be enough for you to see how hydration affects your own skin.

Of course we can help with that last one by delivering the best water around to your home or office. Fontis Water delivers gallon bottles and 1/2 liter bottles making it easy for you to drink enough water each day! Call us today at 678-494-1981 for more information.

Are Your Drinking Enough Water to Stay Healthy

by

There are all types of statistics out there that tell us how much water to drink. 8 glasses? 60 ounces? Half your body weight? Does anyone know the real answer?

The good news is that some of your required fluid intake comes from the foods we eat, but it is important that we drink enough H2O each day, especially in the summer.

According to CNN.com, water is known as the “elixir of life, with good reason, and every system in your body needs it to survive.

“Water regulates our body temperature, keeps our joints lubricated, helps prevent infections and delivers nutrients to our cells,” said registered US dietitian and CNN contributor Lisa Drayer. “Additionally, our kidneys and liver work hard to get rid of toxins in our bodies, and they depend on water to do their job.”

Hydration and your Health

“You could quickly become constipated as your colon steals water from your stool to keep your digestive system moving. Urine will become darker; prolonged dehydration can also crystallize salts and minerals in urine, possibly leading to the formation of painful kidney stones.”

How much should you drink to stay hydrated during exercise?

“Because dehydration can often be mistaken for hunger, you might gain weight as you try to satisfy your body’s needs. Fortunately, the opposite is also true if you’re hydrated. ‘If you are looking to lose weight, water can help you shed pounds,’ Drayer said. ‘Drinking a glass of water before a meal can fill you up a bit and help you eat fewer calories at a meal.’
If you suffer from migraines, studies show that a lack of fluids might easily trigger an episode. Headaches are also likely to last longer if you’re low on fluids. In addition, dehydration can leave you unable to concentrate, cause short-term memory problems and leave you feeling moody and anxious.”

Signs of Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn’t have enough fluids to carry out its normal functions. If you don’t replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated. Signs of dehydration in adults include:

  • Extreme thirst
  • Less frequent urination
  • Dark-colored urine
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Confusion

Fontis Water

To help you stay hydrated, Fontis Water can deliver to your home or office. For more information call us at 678-494-1981.

St. Patrick’s Day is Here!

by

St. Patrick’s Day is here! Time to wear the green and pretend we are all Irish. What? You don’t have a plan for this weekend? Let us help you out.

We love a parade!

Atlanta’s St. Patrick’s Day parade is one of the country’s oldest parades. Started by the city’s Hibernian Benevolent Society, a Catholic and Protestant fraternal organization, it dates back to 1858. The parade is produced by Atlanta St. Patrick’s Parade, Inc., and features representatives from the various Irish groups that are an integral part of Atlanta’s Irish community. The parade begins at noon and ends at 1:30, rain or shine.

Did someone say green beer?

We are pretty sure you can find that and more adult beverages at the Lucky Leprechaun Pub Crawl. The festivities begin at noon at Meehan’s Public House Buckhead, located at 322 E. Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta. If you are an early riser, you might want to check out Kegs and Eggs in Virginia Highland. The Pub Crawl Brunch Party begins at 11 AM and includes 9 bars & restaurants! You must be 21 years old and tickets are required.

Let the music play

Looking for some great music? Why not check out Shamrock the Station this St. Patrick’s Day. Gates open at 2 PM and the music starts at 4 PM. The line-up includes New Politics, The Glorious Sons, Dreamer and the Wrecks.

Run for the green

And finally if you are looking for a healthy way to start your day, why not run in the Shamrock ‘N Roll Road Race at Atlantic Station. You can still register the day of the race, which begins at 8:30 AM. And after a great run, you will deserve all that green beer!

No matter where your plans take you this weekend, make sure you pack your cooler full of refreshing Fontis Water!

Raw Water and What You Need to Know

by

Have you heard about the craze of drinking raw water? We mean real raw water! Why you may ask? Well, we asked the same thing.

Raw Water

According to treehugger.com there are actually people out there willing to purchase raw water at the crazy price of $6 per gallon. Other articles report even higher prices at $16 a jug, with a bottle deposit of $22.

Apparently, the company selling this “live” water says it’s providing “toxin-free water,” but anyone drinking from a spring or stream is getting a stomach full of bacteria, parasites and viruses that may or may not be harmful, say food safety experts. More frightening is they could also be getting a “mouthful of farm waste runoff, septic tank spillover, chemicals and pesticides,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and various health departments caution. “The claim is that the unfiltered and untreated spring water has microbes that are beneficial and are “imperative for optimal physical and mental health. Without these probiotics we’re not able to fully assimilate all the nutrients in our food.”

Experts at the New York state department of health say “by the time the spring reaches a collection point, it could have chemicals, bacteria, parasites and viruses in it that might make people sick. Waterborne organisms (Cryptosporidium, Giardia and E. coli) can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.”

So again we ask why? Especially when Fontis Water is here and ready to deliver to your home or office.

The Fontis Difference

When rain falls on the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains, it seeps through porous rock that acts as a natural filter. After its underground journey, the crystal clear water makes its way to our deep rock spring near Blue Ridge, Georgia.

Absolute Purity. Guaranteed.

To further assure its purity before we deliver to your home or office, Fontis natural spring water undergoes filtration and ozonation at our bottling facility. Ozonation is a process where ozone (O3) is bubbled through the water to eliminate any naturally occurring impurities that may be present. This extra step guarantees absolutely pure drinking water. Every hour, the water is tested to ensure customers get the purest, highest quality natural mountain spring water available. The final product is then carefully bottled in 3-gallon, 5-gallon, 1-gallon and single-serve containers.

A Clear Mission

Our 100% pure spring water is delivered to homes and offices throughout metro Atlanta. Our mission is to deliver the best, most preferred natural mountain spring water with unmatched customer service and genuine enthusiasm. It’s been a family tradition since 1980.

Call today at 678-494-1981 to learn more about our home and office bottled water delivery.
