Most people nowadays are aware of one important thing. If you want to keep healthy and in tip-top condition, it is a good idea to drink plenty of water!
Of course, it's not the ONLY thing you have to do, but it's right up there in the top five.
So you have to drink water, but you might ask, how much is enough? Well, many authorities and experts recommend you should take about 2 liters per day, which is between 3 and 4 pints. And this is straight water, not the water you have in coffee or tea (or beer!)
It is important also not to have too MUCH water, as you can become over-hydrated. Moderation is the key, as always! You may be thinking 2 liters is an awful lot, but you can get used to it if you spread out your intake over the whole day.
The problem most of us have, is that our water from the tap really doesn't taste very nice. Often it has a taste of chlorine (the "swimming-pool" taste) and sometimes the water is full of chalk and other substances that ruin the taste, even if they are not harmful. If you have water like this, it can be a bit difficult to imagine even drinking 1 pint of it, let alone 3 or 4.
The solution many have tried is to buy bottled water from the supermarket. This is a great way to enjoy water. Bottled mineral water tastes lovely after you have got used to the water that comes out of most domestic taps. But there are downsides to this.
First, you have to drag all the water from the supermarket to your home. And water can get really heavy!
Second, for those of us who think green, there is the problem of disposal of the plastic bottles, which go to help clog up the landfill sites.
Also, from a green standpoint, the water has been shipped all the way from who knows where, maybe all the way from France, using up gallons of precious fossil fuel on the way.
Bottled water can also be quite expensive to buy.
And lastly, you don't really know what is in the bottle in addition to the water, or how long it has been in the bottle.
Because of this, more and more people are now turning to home filtration systems to give them the purest water available. And the surprise for some is, that filtered water can taste every bit as good, or even better, than bottled mineral water!
