Restaurants Should Be Serving Filtered Water!

What if a filtered water machine is not only a high-end amenity, but also a line of defense between your customers and contaminated drinking water? A Natura sparkling water system is both.

Our exclusive three-filter system is the ultimate in restaurant water filtration, removing or significantly reducing contaminants including chemical impurities, pesticides, and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic. The system reduces chlorine and its compounds, which are responsible for the poor taste and smell associated with tap water. And our smart filtration process does all of this while retaining valuable minerals like calcium, zinc, and magnesium.

A first-of-its-kind study at the University of California, Irvine, reviewed 34 years’ worth of EPA data and determined that, in any given year from 1982 to 2015, up to 45 million Americans were exposed to unsafe drinking water. Even in lower years, the number was still a staggering 9 million people.

The study was extremely thorough, covering 17,900 community water systems in the continental U.S. The findings prove that crises like the one in Flint, Mich., are far from isolated incidents. They also underscore the importance of taking precautions after the tap to provide filtered water, protecting guests from unseen dangers in public water.

OSHA already requires establishments to provide clean, potable water for employees. Doesn’t it make sense to extend this courtesy to guests of your restaurant, bar, club, spa, hotel, or resort? Natura makes it easy, with two long-lasting carbon filters, one of which reduces bacteria such as E. coli, cysts, viruses, and pharmaceuticals.

A Natura sparkling water dispenser is a clear sign that you take your responsibility seriously, and signals to guests that you keep an eye on the details. Water is the lifeblood of any food establishment. Make it the purest it can be with Natura.

Top 7 Facts About Dehydration

04 Mar, 2024

Dehydration is more common than you may think. This preventable and serious medical condition affects millions of people all around the world every day. Whether you run a restaurant, manage an office, or operate a hotel, it’s important to know the facts about dehydration to ensure that your patrons, staff, and clients stay adequately hydrated. 75% of Americans are dehydrated. Most Americans are considered chronically dehydrated. When this happens, we get used to the lack of water, so it can be difficult to tell when our bodies need to drink more. Adding more water-rich foods to your diet can also help with hydration, such as fruits and vegetables. The average American drinks just 2.5 cups of water daily. On average, adults in the U.S. drink well below the Institute of Medicine’s recommended intake of 10 cups of water per day. Encouraging water consumption by offering water with every meal or providing water stations throughout your establishment can help increase daily intake. Even mild dehydration can inhibit your ability to think clearly. Scientists say that when people drive dehydrated, they make the same number of mistakes that drivers make when under the influence of alcohol. This underscores the importance of staying hydrated throughout the day, especially during activities that require focus and attention. Feeling thirsty? You’re already dehydrated. When we are dehydrated, the body's thirst response gets triggered. So, whenever you get thirsty, dehydration is already occurring. Encouraging regular water breaks or setting reminders to drink water can help prevent dehydration before it becomes severe. Dehydration makes you sleepy. When we’re dehydrated, our energy levels diminish. Staying adequately hydrated will keep muscles energized and ward off fatigue, moodiness, and sleepiness throughout the day. Providing water as a beverage option alongside caffeinated drinks can also help maintain energy levels without the crash. You can’t survive more than a few days without water. Water is an essential nutrient for life. Science shows us that without consuming water, human beings can only survive for a matter of days. This underscores the critical importance of staying hydrated, especially in extreme conditions or during physical exertion. It can take just 45 minutes to rehydrate. A study by The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that after mildly dehydrated men consumed just 2 bottles of water, it took under one hour for their bodies to function in a perfectly healthy and hydrated state. This highlights how quickly the body can recover from dehydration with proper hydration practices.
