What Kind of Water Do You Drink?

Water is associated with almost every function of our body, directly tied to our energy levels, our ability to burn fat, detoxify and also to slow down the aging process. Want great skin and a healthy looking glow? Drink more water. Want to improve your digestion and bowel movements? Drink more water. Want to reduce your feelings of hunger, eat less and simply feel better? Drink more water.

In doing some research on water and how to incorporate more of into our daily lives, I got thinking about the types of water out there and the type of water YOU drink. Maybe you can help me understand this a bit more. I’d like to know what type of water YOU drink on average. Not the amount just yet, but the type. If you like, you can leave a comment as to the amounts of water, but my primary question is What Type of Water Do You Drink?

Tempted by Dietary Demons in Sin City

In Vegas, you can indulge in some of the seven deadly sins which might include lust, sloth, greed or gluttony.

Gamble into the wee hours of the morning, wander in a alcoholic haze, belly up to an over indulgent buffet or shop until your credit cards are maxed out. Las Vegas is a temptress. Be prepared to take a chance and gamble. The choice is yours. These are the choices I made.

Saving water : Guttering and Drains

This is the third article (see Saving Water Part I and Saving Water Part II)
in a 6 part series on Saving Water. There are many environmental benefits of saving water of course, but for the end consumer, saving money seems to be the key. Living in Sydney, Australia I’m acutely aware of the value of saving water.

 

Rain on the roof Have you ever caught yourself standing indoors during a heavy downpour, wondering where all of the excess water ends up? Obviously the garden can only drink so much, the pool may take a little and the
water tank takes whatever it can.

However, the rest – the vast majority – is simply thrown away.

This article – on guttering and drains – looks at several ways to improve the flow of water around your house (so you can make the most of it), and take a few steps toward the ultimate water goal : any water that falls on your property, stays on your property. No more water bills. Ever.

Saving Water : The Benefits of Using a Water Tank

This is the second article in a 6 part series on Saving Water (see part 1 on saving water). Living in Sydney, Australia I’m acutely aware of the value of this precious resource.

Slimline tank, SydneyToday we’ll be looking at something for home-owners worldwide – the benefits of using a water tank. A rainwater tank, that is.

In recent years (over the past decade or so), the idea has been gradually spreading that water is a valuable resource. This is particularly evident during periods of drought, when water restrictions are in place.
