How much water do
you actually drink? Although soft drinks and lattes are certainly all
the rage these days, I believe a lot of people are taking to bottled
drinking water. It's just so readily available. You can't really go
anywhere without spotting a bottle of Evian, or Auquifina. Fortunately
this route is much healthier than the old carbonated sugar drinks that
many have made their liquid life source. Water is that fluid we all
require for basic health and hydration. Have you had your six to eight
cups today? Well, if you're one of the syrup guzzlers, you may want to
do a little research on why water is so essential to good health and
well being.
Regardless of popular belief, many individuals are chugging bottled
drinking water these days. After attending a University over the past
few years, I witness countless students toting around bottled drinking
water on a daily basis. In fact, this is typically what they had. I
don't know if it's related to the availability or just the simple human
thirst. One issue that arises whenever we discuss bottled drinking
water is the cost. What in the world is it so pricey for? I mean come
on, it's water! These companies are literally making a fortune off of
it. Do you know why they charge such ridiculous prices? Because they
can. This is typically the reason when no other is found. Which bottled
drinking water do you buy? Well, in all honesty, I go for the least
expensive one. Personally I think bottled drinking water should run
about 25 cents, but that's not happening.
The up side to always available bottled drinking water is the health
factor. We all know by now that it's much healthier to consume water
than soft drinks and coffee. Our bodies are mostly made up of water in
the first place. A certain amount must be stored at all times for
hydration purposes. Not to mention it will have a pleasant effect on
your energy levels and appearance. All you avid coffee drinkers out
there may be walking around dehydrated. Caffeine pulls water off the
muscles, which is something you don't want. You'd better re-hydrate
with a double dose of the clear stuff. Overall, bottled drinking water
is certainly a trend initiated to produce capital, but fortunately is a
healthy one at the same time.
