One of the 6 simple but basic steps to good health is getting plenty of clean water. Keeping hydrated is one of the most important elements of good heath. You can survive quite well with out food at an estimated 3-weeks and up to 25-weeks or more depending upon initial health and amount of fat. That is not to say you would be in very good health but you could survive death.
On the other hand at a pleasant 80 F / 26.7 C or so the average person would only make it about 9 days without water. HMMMM Food or water? I’ll have another glass of water please. Preferably clean water thank you.
In today’s world unless you live under a rock everyone knows about the importance of keeping Hydrated. Just look at all the hoop-la about “sports drinks”, don’t get me started on that, but that is for another blog. However I will say this DRINK WATER! Clean Fresh WATER! There I said it.
Now down to business. I honestly do not understand with all the Green consciousness in today’s media why people continue to buy bottle water. In a resent National Geographic study it was estimated that “In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, adding 29 billion water bottles a year to the Pollution problem. In order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 million barrels of crude oil”. “That’s enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months”. HMmm am I missing something here? Or perhaps America is. Like a home water purifying system. First, it is much more cost effective Second, it its much better for the environment and third, it is cheaper and fourth it is not as expensive. But most of all it better for the earth. Have I got your attention yet? Get real, that $1.29 or even the .59 bottle of water is less than a penny if you have your own system. That’s right less than1 cent just add your favorite reusable water bottle. If you have a quality counter top or reverse osmosis in home system it is cheaper and it is most likely better quality water. So Keep hydrated, stay healthy and save money.
