When I think of bottled
water I think of hot tennis players gulping it down between matches.
There certainly is a stigma about bottled water. Sometimes I think that
one of the things around it is, rich people drink it. We see all of
these rich famous people on television drinking it. Bottled water
certainly has become popular. There is no doubting that. I go to the
store and I see more brands than I can keep track of. I'll admit that I
have drank a few bottles of this stuff in my day. Mainly I get it if I
am out and not near home to get a drink of water. If I am out walking
or exercising and don't have a water source near by. They
drink it because they ARE AWARE of the benefits
above!
Water for Health, is bottled water a rip off?
The short answer is yes. There is nothing great about it. The only
thing that is great about it is how it has been marketed. They tell us
it is the best thing that we can get. It is something we all should
drink. You have to keep in mind that these companies are in the
business of making money. Their goal is to sell you bottled water. Even
if you don't need it.
Is bottled water better for you than tap water? No, it certainly isn't.
In fact, most bottled water is just tap water. It is filtered and
purified so it doesn't have the taste that the water from your tap has.
Anything that will get you to drink more water is great. Though, you
must realize that it is nothing more than a waste of money. You aren't
getting something that your body will jump for joy when it gets.
You have to watch what you buy though. Some bottled water has things
added to it. Sometimes they will add sugar or other flavorings to it.
If it doesn't taste like pure water, there is something added to it.
Sometimes the water will come from a spring or a mountain river. Is
this any better for you? Not really. There might be some minerals in it
that tap water won't have. But for the most part it is just the same,
but more expensive.
You like the taste of bottled water but you don't
like the taste of your tap water. What do you do?
For starters, I would suggest that you don't run to the store to get
more bottled water. There are many products that you are use to filter
your tap water. One of my favorites is the pitcher with the filter in
it. I'm sure you have seen these on television before. When you pour
the water, it goes through a filter.
These tend to be less expensive and easy to use. It doesn't take much
brain power to be able to fill a pitcher with water. Check your local
shop, I'm sure that you will find one there. There are also filters
that you can put right over your faucet. These tend to be the best
thing to use. They are easy to use and easy to replace the filters. You
can get these at any Wal Mart or store like that.
There is always the water filtering system. You know, the ones with the
pellets and all that garbage. Personally, I think these are a pain in
the ass. I don't know why people get these instead of the smaller
faucet units. I know that some people have to use these
because of the condition of their water. Sometimes the water is too
hard and you need to soften it.
If you don't like the taste of your water, try filling up the empty
bottles that you have from the bottled water with tap water. Stick them
in the ice box and get them nice and cold. You will notice that when
cold, the water has a different flavor. You might find this to be
drinkable. I know your wallet will thank you.
