No 5am & SPoH: Day 5 - Bottled Water

Still really sore today, so I did not workout.  I did not have much time or opportunity to rest yesterday.  Today I hope that I will have more time and that I'll be ok for tomorrow.

SPoH: Day 5 - Bottled water. From the book - Bottled water is actually less regulated than tap water and can be just as toxic. It is only tested yearly, while our tap water is tested daily. Penta Water, one of the top-selling bottled waters in health food stores, is considered the purest bottled water on the market. I find it especially beneficial for my patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, headaches, arthritis, and most degenerative diseases. The other major problem with much bottled water is that it comes in plastic bottles. I suspect that many other companies will be following suit [by distributing in glass bottles] because as the price of oil increases, so does the price of plastic. Reusing your water bottle may seem kind to the environment, but it’s terrible for your body. Web sites that help in finding information about different bottled waters are www.AquaMaestro.com and www.mineralwaters.org. If you drink bottled water, check if the manufacturer of the bottled water is a member of the IBWA (International Bottled Water Association). Purchase clean bottled water, preferably alkaline and in glass containers rather than plastic.

I have always assumed that bottled water is better for you.  Sure I knew about the BPA recently, but the fact that it is not regulated the same way as tap water has me questioning my habits.  Sure, it is probably better in Europe or another continent or even some other countries to have bottled.  I am definitely considering using a filter more.  It is possible that some of this has chanced since he wrote the book. I looked at IBWA's website and found a PDA file regarding Tap Water vs. Bottled Water if anyone is interested in reading something that is more current.  You can check it out at www.thefactsaboutwater.org.  Day 6, Colbert talks more about filtering water.

If anyone has any questions or comments, let me know.  I'd be happy to hear your thoughts and if you have questions, I love doing research, I will do my best to answer your questions or look it up.
