The More Water The Better!

Are you drinking enough water? Water is a very important fluid to the body, with-out enough we can become dehydrated? Drinking water daily removes excess water weight? Did you know that? Drink To Your Health...

Re: The More Water The Better!

Very true. It is really good for us. I'm terrible at drinking enough water - I reach for coffee or tea without thinking.

I wonder about the sparkling waters or flavored waters for sale. Does it help if you drink those, or is plain water better?

Too much water can kill you - however, you'd probably have to drink 25+ pints to achieve that effect (no, you would not explode!).

Tea and coffee both contain (at a guess) about 99% water.

Tap water (in the UK) is as good as bottled water.

So good coca cola bottled it and tried to sell it, must surely be high up on the list of the marketing faux pas of recent times.

Poland springs I prefer. We have good well water, but on the road its poland springs. Water is so good for us.

Sparkling and carbonated waters, i had read deplete calcium, these waters probably act like drano?

Re: The More Water The Better!

I cannot bring myself to drink water. I've tried and just can't do it. Even tried adding a little lime juice and a little lemon juice and still can't drink it. I know I should.

Peg, I cannot believe you? Well that says you have never needed weight watchers? I didn't drink enough water in my earlier years, but it is awareness now that we should?

Hey not every-one can stand it? But we really need it?

Somehow or other, they managed to "purify" the tap water and add bromates in a quantity to exceed the legally permitted level. Um.

Re: The More Water The Better!

Bill, are you drinking enough water? I recently had my water tested, we had some bacteria in it...Everyone should sanitize their wells every year or so? We drink water here non-stop. We have lived to see how "not drinking water" has hurt people? Merry Xmas...

I don't know. I usu. have a glass in the morning, and a mug of tea - then more tea, or coffee, during the day, probably about 6 mugs, then some beer or cider during the evening... then there's the water in any fruit or juice I might have... maybe about 1 imperial gallon per day (4.51 litres approx)?

I don't see how you can do that.... if there are bacteria in the water, they're getting in somehow.... is foreign matter getting into your well? As you are/were a farm, could runoff be affecting the water? How near to the well are drains, slurry pits or whatever? What is the surface geology to the depth affecting your well?
Is the well covered with a light-proof cover? I've never known anyone "sanitize" their wells - does this mean tipping something down them?

Top up your fluid intake at Christmas with some not-drinking-water! Merry Christmas to you.
