Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips
People been asking me if I drink water. Yes, I drink lots of water or I wouldn’t recommend it. Some days I do well (getting in 3 liters (~100 oz)); other days I drink ~30-60 oz. I can easily say I drink more water than most people on earth, and I feel good about that since I haven’t had a cold in years along with no current health issues.
People ask me what is the best water to drink. My answer is any water that feels and tastes good when you drink it. I drink a variety of water from home filtered, distilled, reverse osmosis, and ionized-alkalized water. I drink a variety of waters just like I eat a variety of foods. My body likes variety. However, I do avoid straight tap water (my body doesn’t like it) and the bottled-water industry (way too much plastic waste). I have my own set of water bottles I use throughout the day. With Earth Day festivities this month, there will be water bottle sales, so buy some of those “environmental friendly” bottles and drink and refill them as much as possible!
If you are drinking/using tap water, I recommend researching what’s in the water that you are consuming. Ensure that the water system you are using is eliminating “the goodies” you don’t want to consume. For example, in February 2011, the City of San Diego began fluoridating all its drinking water. Personally I think this is frightening, and one of the reasons why I drink other than tap water and now looking for water system alternatives for my home that use water (like my washer/dryer, showers, etc.).
Just like exploring different flavors of beer, wines, and food, explore what water tastes and feels good to you, too!
