Bidet attachment for a toilet. You can get them cheap, or spend a bit more for heated seats, warmed water, fans for drying, etc. Best bathroom decision ever.
Countertop electric water distiller. For a reasonable price you can get a countertop water distiller that runs a gallon for like $0.15. No more microplastics, chlorine, ammonia, lead, or facial matter in your drinking water! Tastes SO GOOD, nothing like the plastic filled distilled water from the store, blech. Every time we make a batch, we’ll smell the sticky residue left in the heating chamber and gag. It is nasty stuff. In our tap water, gross. Clean water for me please! Makes our coffee, tea, and kumbucha taste a lot better too.
Getting into a healthy BMI and daily exercise is pretty epic too. You’ll just feel better every day.
As climate change gets worse, having resilience like stored food and water will be helpful to deal with more frequent natural disasters. No sense bothering with fancy meal packets, a couple dozen big cans of dried beans will go a long way if there’s a shelter in place order.
Be careful with drinking only distilled water. It leaches metals and materials out of the container it’s in and results in a low intake of micronutrients and minerals your body needs. Personally, taste wise, I find it flat and awful. May as well be drinking Disani (I personally hate). Water tastes great when minerals and micronutrients are still in it because that’s partly what your body needs in drinking water.
I’m putting the water in glass containers, so no need to worry about it leeching materials. Also, I am positive I get all the micronutrients (the paper your cited refers to magnesium and iron) I need from vegetables, without needing to resort to tap water that contains high levels of microplastics. I also brush my teeth with floride, so no need to worry about dental caries.
I think americans are already late adopters of the bidet. This has been a thing in many countries for a long time. I went to disney world when I was a teen and was horrified that you only had TP to clean yourselfs. Btw I was also horrified when I discovered what the tiny towel was for.
There’s a reason we add chlorine and minerals to the water, because it’s good for us. Tap water in 99% of the US is already safe to drink, and distilling it doesn’t make it any safer.

Seems like it increases cancer risk, but it’s the cheapest way we have to sanitize water so
