Bottled Water
Is bottled water good for our health?
When I think 0f bottled water I think 0f hot tennis players gulping it down between matches. There certainly is a stigma about bottled water. Sometimes I think that one 0f the things around it is, rich people drink it. We see all 0f these rich famous people 0n television drinking it. Bottled water certainly has become popular. There is no doubting that. I go t0 the store and I see more brands than I can keep track 0f. I’ll admit that I have drank a few bottles 0f this stuff in my day. Mainly I get it if I am out and not near home t0 get a drink 0f water. If I am out walking or exercising and don’t have a water source near by.
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 t0 keep in mind that these companies are in the business 0f making money. Their goal is t0 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 t0 drink more water is great. Though, you must realize that it is nothing more than a waste 0f money. You aren’t getting something that your body will jump for joy when it gets.
You have t0 watch what you buy though. Some bottled water has things added t0 it. Sometimes they will add sugar or other flavorings t0 it. If it doesn’t taste like pure water, there is something added t0 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 0f bottled water but you don’t like the taste 0f your tap water. What do you do?
For starters, I would suggest that you don’t run t0 the store t0 get more bottled water. There are many products that you are use t0 filter your tap water. One 0f my favorites is the pitcher with the filter in it. I’m sure you have seen these 0n television before. When you pour the water, it goes through a filter.
These tend t0 be less expensive and easy t0 use. It doesn’t take much brain power t0 be able t0 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 t0 be the best thing t0 use. They are easy t0 use and easy t0 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 0f the smaller faucet units. I know that some people have t0 use these because 0f the condition 0f their water. Sometimes the water is too hard and you need t0 soften it. Though, that does sound like a plot for a porno movie.
If you don’t like the taste 0f 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 t0 be drinkable. I know your wallet will thank you.
The problem I see with the bottled water is, it is too expensive. They are charging you an arm and a leg for something you can get next t0 free. Why should you pay for it? Well, you shouldn’t.
I don’t know why people don’t feel guilty for buying bottled water. It is one step up from going t0 a whore.
You should stop drinking the bottled water and see how much money you save just for one month. I find it crazy that there are people around the world dying 0f starvation and disease and we pay a dollar or more for a bottle 0f water. That seems so crazy t0 me.
