Water: Mother Nature's Best Beverage


The topic we will be discussing today is water and why we need to incorporate this into our diets better. Water is something that we are surrounded by, whether it is salty or fresh, and it is vital to our survival. It can also be a good tool for dieting because of its flushing effects, and it also keeps us hydrated.

There are many different bottled water suppliers out there, but did you know that quite a bit of bottled water is actually from municipal sources? That means it is basically tap water, which is something we can get easily from our sinks at any time. This doesn’t mean that the water is bad, though some municipal supplies can be polluted with chemicals or other infectious bacteria.

How do we get more water into our daily lives, you ask? Well, try replacing that cup of coffee with a cold glass of water in the mornings. Even though water has no caffeine in it, it can be very refreshing in the morning because it is a great cure for the morning dry mouth. Many people don’t drink enough water on a daily basis, and this can lead to ill health effects such as dehydration and water intoxication (the latter is for drinking too much water).

Water is what makes the world work, in my opinion. I feel this way because our planet is covered with water, and this water has a huge effect on our daily lives. The weather can be spawned from water; fish need water to survive, and all land mammals need water at some point to survive. Without water, we would not be able to survive.

Try doing a count on how many glasses of water you drink in a day. If you are not drinking enough, find ways to incorporate more of it into your daily diet. If you get to a gallon a day, then you are definitely hydrating yourself properly. So pick up a cold glass (or bottle) of water and enjoy Mother Nature’s best beverage.
