Holy Lalapollutants Batman! I don’t really drink much bottled water, mainly because its expensive and there’s not a really good recycling program in my community and I know the bottles aren’t biodegradable. But after watching The Story Of Bottled Water I’m not going to buy it at all.
My tap water tastes great and there are better alternatives. Like The Beverage Bottle at Lifefactory.com, which is a 22 oz glass bottle in a silicon sleeve. You never have to worry about plastic leeching BPA’s or PVC’s into your water with glass and the silicon sleeve protects the bottle. Sure it’s a little heavier, but so what? Who can’t afford a little extra strength-training from lifting her water?
The recommendation of 8-12 glasses of water a day is there for a reason. Water is the stuff of life people. 60% of our body mass is water. Drinking enough water a day is crucial for cellular regeneration and hydration. A loss as small as 5% can cause all kinds of nasty symptoms like fatigue, nausea, dizziness, muscle cramps and tingling in your limbs. More of a loss than that and you’re headed towards unconsciousness and even death. So drink your water – just don’t buy it.
If you’re trying to lose weight, you should be drinking .5 ounces per pound of body weight. I know, I know – can’t you OD on water? You can if you drink too much at one time. A normal healthy human body can actually process up to 15 liters of water a day. But that doesn’t mean you should drink that much in one day. I personally drink about a gallon of water a day. It helps flush toxins and fat from the body, and keeps my skin nice and pretty.
Bottled water? Who needs ya. I say turn on the tap.
