Thirst may strike us any time of the day. When it does, nothing refreshes and quenches our thirst like sparkling clean water. But what if you are out of the house and have no immediate access to a faucet to get drinking water? Your best answer is bottled water. How many times have you been happy to see bottled water right at the moment thirst gets the best of you? We may not consider it such a big deal because we can see and buy bottled water almost anywhere we are, but the fact of the matter is, it is a great sight when we crave it the most.
The best bottled water is purified, alkaline, mineral, or distilled drinking waters. Each has different specifications as to their filtration processes and boasts of different mineral contents. They may taste a little different from each other but each one is water in a form that is clean and natural.
Getting ahead of the competition are the alkaline water brands which boast of its health benefits by being alkaline in nature. Their basis for the claim of additional health benefits is that alkaline water neutralizes the ph levels or acidity of the body. Our bodies turn to be acidic in nature as we do our daily activities and release more acids to the circulation as products of metabolism. By drinking alkaline water we will quickly even out the acidity of the body, maintaining the optimum pH levels. This is reputed to help with energy levels as well as reduce inflammation in the body.
Alternatives to bottled water are also available because quite frankly if we buy a small bottled water every time we are thirsty, it could cost us a fortune, not to mention using all of the plastic bottles is somewhat wasteful. If you want to save on cost, buying larger bottled water is a great idea. It is more expensive to buy the small bottles than the big ones so buy small if you want to carry it and buy the big ones if you are just going to leave them inside the car or office. Boiling tap water at home and then bringing it along once it is cooled, can also be a cheap alternative to bottled water. Reusing your old water bottles or purchasing a steel canteen are popular ways to take your own filtered water with you and reduce the waste of buying a new bottle every time you get thirsty.
There are a lot of American bottled water brands on the market. Whatever your preference is, you can get it easily. It may cost us a little bit, but the important thing is that we stay hydrated anywhere we are or whatever we do to stay away from dehydration and its bad effects. Drink up and enjoy the goodness of pure water over sodas and other carbonated drinks for a healthier life.
