Health Benefits of Purified Water
Reverse osmosis is a water purifying process that removes foreign substances, such as organic chemicals, chlorine, pesticides, and herbicides. The process forces water through specialized membranes, purifying the water and removing any unpleasant odor and taste. Reports by Medline Plus inform that patients with chronic illness benefit from reverse osmosis water during and after treatments.
This is due to the reduced levels of acidity; low acidity means that your body can process the water better and faster while also using less energy. Your body can then focus on keeping you healthy.

Our Centre offers a great variety of events and programming weekly. Fitness, Coffee Corner, Cards, Dances, Book Club, Craft Corner, Cooking Classes and Potlucks are amongst some of the things we offer.
