These days, you don't have to go far to see an inordinate number of products competing for your consumption, and beverages are certainly one of those categories. But among all of the various soft drinks with and without sugar, or caffeine, or artificial flavors, or carbonation, the only one that is really natural, the only one your body craves, the only one that is healthy, is water. There is nothing wrong with having a commercial beverage as a treat, for recreation, or socialization; but at mealtime, drink water. It goes with everything, and helps to promote good digestion. Not only that, it has no calories, no caffeine, and nothing else to get between you and good nutrition. And, for the most part, tap water is fine. If there is a suggestion of chlorine, or fear of contaminates, using a filter on your tap or a filtered pitcher can solve that issue. But buying water in bottles does not, as bottled water is not subject to the stringent requirements that tap water must satisfy, and those plastic bottles have to go somewhere. And bottled water is not cheap, often approaching the price of gasoline in some brands. Save the money, save the planet, save your health, and drink the water! Do you want more evidence?
