Bottled Water and You

When I think of bottled water I imagine hot football 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 TV drinking it. Bottled water certainly has become very popular. There is no doubting that. I go to the local 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 and clear answer is yes. There is absolutely 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 ever 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 at all.

Is bottled water better for you than tap water?
No, it certainly isn't. As a matter of 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 bring you to drink more water is great. Though, you must understand 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 check what you buy though. Some bottled water has things added to it. Sometimes they'll 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 arrive from a spring or a mountain river. Is this any better for you? Not actually. There could be some minerals in it that tap water won't have. But mostly it is just the same, but more expensive.

I like the taste of bottled water but I don't like the taste of my tap water. What shall I do?
For starters, we would suggest that you don't run to the shop to get more bottled water. There are many products that you are use to filter your tap water. One of our favorites is the pitcher with the filter in it. We are sure you have seen these on TV 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 capable to fill a pitcher with water. Check your local store, we are sure that you will get one there. There are also filters that you can put right over your faucet. These be given to be the best thing to use. They are easy to use and easily to replace the filters. You can buy 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, we think these are a pain in the ass. We don't know why people purchase these instead of the smaller faucet units. We know that some people have to use these because of the quality of their water. Sometimes the water is overly hard and you need to soften it. Though, that does sound like a plot for a porno film.

If you do not like the taste of your water, try filling up the empty bottles that you have from the bottled water with tap water. Put them in the ice box and get them nice and cold. You'll notice that when cold, the water has a another flavor. You might find this to be drinkable. We know your wallet will cheers.

The problem we see with the bottled water is, it is too overpriced. 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.
We don't know why people don't feel guilty for purchasing bottled water. It's one step up from going to a whore.
You should stop drinking the bottled water and see how much money you spare just for one month. We 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. But bottled water could be your choice when you visit fitness club or make some outdoor exercises.
