It’s a little too late for Christmas gifts for him right now, the merchants can’t ship in time now. However this is an idea that came right out of left field for me, and it’s a gift for men that can be a great gift for him, (and you) anytime.

Normally I spend most of my time reading gifts related websites. But not all of my time. Today I was reading about something that I’d never thought about before, and it got my attention. The quality of the water we drink.

Did you know that it’s estimated that there are up to 2100 different chemicals in our drinking water, some known to cause cancer? The Ralph Nader Research Institute has done a study that suggests that many of the chemicals common in many of the everyday products we use end up in our water. I won’t go into how, that’s for another time, but that’s the conclusion.

And that the EPA think that the major threat to our children’s health is lead in our drinking water? Or that another study found up to 11 different weed killers in our drinking water?

Scary stuff isn’t it.

I just read something about this, followed a link and read some more and so on until I began to feel a little sick. I had no idea that there was such a problem with our drinking water.

So I thought OK, if that’s the case, I’m going to start drinking bottled water, until I read that bottled water isn’t considered to be any better than tap water, because there’s no regulations about what is in bottled water, and no testing.

So I ended up reading about water filters. It seems that much of the US is using water filters, and I haven’t caught up yet. Good water filters are walking off the shelves and as I can see for good reason. I was surprised to see that the best water filter removes from 97% to 99%  of almost all contaminants.

Like lead, or weed killers, or chemicals that are known to cause cancer.

So how about this for a great mens gift idea, a high quality water filter. You can get whole house filters so that all your water is filtered, or just a faucet filter so that his, (and your) water is filtered. There’s lots of options for water filters, and it seems they work really well from what I have found from a little research. You can even get one for the shower so that you can shower in clean water. Great idea.

It seems to me from what I have read that Aquasana water filters work as well or better than any, and are cost competitive, but there’s others.

If you’re interested in watching a short video about lead in our drinking water here’s one I’ve watched from Youtube.

So if you’re looking for a gift that may improve his health, and yours, how about a water filter? It may be one of the healthiest gifts you buy him.
