I Just Wanted A Drink!


I love to drink water. It's the perfect partner to healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. But like everything else in today's world, drinking water has become complicated! In the coming days I'm going to dive in to some research in an attempt to clear up a few different myths and facts about drinking water.

For instance:
~If you reuse plastic water bottles, could you could get cancer?
~Is it true thousands of people in the United States get sick or die each year from drinking tap water?
~Is bottled water safer than tap water?
~Is expensive bottled water is better than inexpensive bottled water?
~What's the difference between spring water, distilled water, and drinking water?
~What's a Nalgene bottle?
~Do Brita filters really work?

I feel like I know the answers to these questions, but do I really?? Frankly, I'm interested to find some definite answers. So fill up your glass and stay tuned!!

I have recently started making more of an effort to drink more water and I drink tap. The only time that I buy bottled is one at a time, if I'm in the store and need a drink. I prefer ice in my water so I can't imagine buying bottled water to fill up my ice trays....geez that would be crazy expensive. So, while I'll treat myself to a soft drink ocassionally now, I am getting really used to the H2O. I'm not only drinking healthier but also saving a buck 25 a pop.
I also drink a lot of decaffienated tea with splenda. The splenda is probably going to kill me but that's a whole other topic.
