Expo Manger Santé et Vivre Vert 2019: Aqua Health

Aqua Health Products

With over 350+ exhibitors who participated at the Expo Manger Santé et Vivre Vert 2019 this year, all displaying the best they had to offer, it required a either a special art to attract visitors' attention to their particular products, or the excellence of the products they were offering. The Aqua Health Products kiosk attracted me from the starts. Though the Expo is to a large part about a healthy food, and many people coming to the show are looking forward to the free tasting of many delicacies offered at the show, one tends to forget that water is an indispensable component of our food and nourishment, which keeps are alive and vibrant. It is therefore extremely important not to only concentrate on what type of food you eat, the healthy food, but most importantly on what type of water you drink, making sure to have an everyday access to the most healthy water supply. 



In our modern society, with the polluted air, lands, surface water, and even the ground water, it is important to assure an access to the cleanest water possible. In a sense, we can speak not only about healthy, high quality gourmet food, but also about healthy high quality, superbly tasting gourmet water. And the tool for producing just such a gourmet water were presented at the Expo by the Aqua Health Products kiosk.One of the solutions to turn an ordinary drinking water into a high quality drinking water presented was a high quality Berkey carbon filter water system. It is a free drip, independently standing system with a replaceable, extremely long lasting filter: depending to your water quality the same filter can be used for up to 10 years. The filter has excellent filtration characteristics, verified by an independent lab, and removes more than 90 % of all the impurities including bacterial, viral, chemical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural. It is made of high quality stainless steel that will last a lifetime or even longer.



For those wishing to bring the water quality even a notch higher, an additional step after the Berkey purification would be to use a Vortex Water Revitaliser. The vortex technology is able to restructure the chaotic water from the municipal water pipes into having beautiful crystalline-like a pattern, similar to that displayed by snow flaks. Not only has such water an additionally enhance taste, but it is also more easily assimilate it by our cells. Otherwise, our body has to spend extra energy to restructure the chaotic water we drink, since all our bodily liquids have a crystalline-like structure.




I was told by the company's president 
Eminé Piyalé-Sheard, who founded the company 10 years ago, that the reason she became interested in water, water quality, and the water purifying devices was because of her mother's bouts with cancer. She realized that medication and healthy eating was not enough, and that the quality of drinking water was a major component to rebuilding and maintaining one's health. This is why she decided to dedicate her professional life to educating people about the necessity of drinking pure water, and to promoting the best water purification systems available. 

She got an addition proof she was on the right track shortly after she founded her Aqua Health Products business. Her brother who who lived in the countryside and had well water also installed a water ionizer unit. He had several dogs and he decided to do an experiment. He filled 2 buckets one with the well water, and the other with the filtered-ionized water and gave both to dogs to drink. All dogs ignored the well water and drank only from the ionized water bucket. He then spend several days changing the bracket arround, but the dogs continued to only drink only the ionized water.



Unfortunately, human beings do not have such sharp instincts as dogs. This is why the kiosk offered an opportunity to taste several different water samples, educating people's taste buds as to the difference of water purification systems offered. The company also offered a free educational session about the water purifications systems
