If you want to lose weight your in the right
place.
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.
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. Though, that does sound like a plot for a porno movie.
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.
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 to 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 to 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 of starvation and disease
and we pay a dollar or more for a bottle of water. That seems so
crazy to me.
