woah, it's hot! 103 boiling hot degrees in NYC..i have found my weather, now where's my water?
it's the high tide of the water debate not that i am an authority mind you but i am dabbling in all the confusion swirling around this essential liquid life that most of us including myself, don't drink nearly enough of.
i have had to surrender to the toilette as an hourly ritual while drowning in the prescribed 8 -10 glasses of water a day not to mention my nocturnal habit of sleep interruptus to manage the tank levels. this alone has dampened my efforts countless times but now, i must simply acquiesce.
the dehydrated person, like a dry plant will lose water faster until they begin to hydrate on a cellular level, not an overnight sensation unfortunately.. but gradually over time, i am told and am steeped in believing that i will have time for other rooms in my house and other more worldly pursuits. and on another positive note, my bathrooms are taking on a more decorated appeal as i increase the time that i spend there.. it is also terrific that i keep my toilets so squeaky clean. who knew that with a little ( ok, alot ) of elbow grease those calcified water lines wash away! excuse the pun but like the rest of my family, i am becoming terribly anal!
those of us with our own wells have one set of problems and those of you with city/town water have another.. that is where you begin. a water test is important to assess your well water and i think we all know what our local governments do to the water supply.. whatever your issue, ingesting chlorine, flouride, too many minerals, not enough, fecal matter, pharmaceuticals and pesticides is NOT acceptable.
unless you live in pristine parts of the world like the alaskan tundra or isbre, norway, some say the world's purest glacial water, you need to filter your water! the alternative, of course, is bottled water and we also know how counter intuitive that is from a ecological standpoint and poisoning ourselves with bisphenol aka BPA, an endocrine disrupter, is none too wise.
so what is a dehydrated planet to do?
water softeners, water conditioners, water filters, ultra violet water purifiers, reverse osmosis, distillers, ionizers.. the water industry is teeming with choices!
it's much too hot and much too deep a subject to wade through so feel free to become fluent yourselves. this is a highly personal voyage that we each have to embark on based on our individual living situations.
immersed in pure water and an affusion of super foods, you are likely to be baptized brand new so irrigate your mind in this aquatic subject and take the plunge! i am adding an addendum called water wisdom which is forthcoming but in the meantime, helpful articles to dive into and part 2: super foods below..
