Many individuals across the globe do not drink sufficient water to keep themselves well-hydrated. This is often due to the fact that the water in their area tastes or smells strange. Although the water in the UK is basically of good quality, it can still smell funny in areas where fluoride is used.

Fluoride use in drinking water supplies is of grave concern; although government and health officials insist that fluoride is not unhealthy, scientists and other health officials have found a definite correlation between fluoride and cancer, especially in young boys.

The drinking water in the UK also contains many other toxins, including prescription and over-the counter medications and recreational drugs.

Health Benefits of Water Coolers

Buying a home or office water cooler has many health benefits, including:

  • Better tasting and smelling drinking water encourages everyone to drink water more often and it is healthier because all of the toxins have been filtered out;
  • Drinking water more regularly improves the general mood in the office as dehydration affects one’s mood;
  • Drinking water out of a water cooler is far more hygienic than drinking water from a tap;
  • Fresh, chilled drinking water not only keeps one hydrated and healthy, but also improves productivity as it keeps the brain hydrated;
  • Home water coolers encourage children, who are vulnerable to dehydration, to drink more water as it is more accessible and water coolers are considered “cool” amongst the kids;
  • Some types of water cooler offer chilled, hot and ambient water, which means more uses for your water cooler, summer and winter;
  • Availability of fresh, chilled drinking water 24/7; and
  • Water coolers that come with built-in cup dispensers offer a hygienic way to drink water without having to continuously wash cups or glasses;

Whatever your reason for purchasing a water cooler, you will find that it is one of the best decisions that you could ever make for good health.
