h20 me

do you evian? do you... perrier, vittel, bonaqua or aquafina? for years we've been encouraged to chug at least eight glasses of water a day, generally for our skin, for our weight, for good health.

so today the joy of drinking h20 makes me feel that i'm so healthy, like it flushes out my body. i have never been such a fan of bottled, or distilled water. i am not a heavy drinker of purity. but why do we call it distilled water? does boiling makes it purified?

people nowadays is walking around dehydrated, and i'm one of them. we drink too much coffee, sodas that contains caffeine which makes our body to lose water. they say, when we are dehydrated we don't know enough to drink. i've been thinking, maybe the evidence of my recent suffering of backpain a week ago was because i'm creeping into dehydration.

few years back, whenever i walk around malls or down the park, i always see these people carrying around bottles of water, and i wonder, "what's behind this"? or maybe carrying an evian is definitely a fashion statement as one would think, trendy and healthier.

does water matter? you bet it does. my usual routines are normally goes along with either, a coffee, cigarette, & computer. it's driving me into madness. even so, it makes me think that what we drink is not safe. do you think water is safe? do you think they are really pure and clean? i mean water contains at least a small amounts of bacteria and perhaps it can be harmful.

here in HK, h20 people thinks that water is not safe to drink directly from the "faucet" because it contains a maxi-amount of chlorine and we usually have to boil them first, or if not sure, we normally buy a bottle of water. i know that chlorine is added to drinking water to prevent bacterial growth while the water streams through the pipelines. but how is water purified? is bottled water safer than tap water? OMG, the water i boil for my coffee comes from tap water. scientifically, i don't know the answer.

even so, bottled, tap, distilled or boiled water still tastes like water to me. do i have a choice? well at least at the moment, i'm enjoying the moment of purified nature. as evian ad reads: Evian. Live Young, in different sub-titles.

cheers!

Oooh, whcih comment system should I go for here?

I've been getting massages recently and have been told to start taking more water. For all the reasons you say, and also to allow the effects of the massage to work better.

You're right. We don't drink enough!
