Hi to all Steemians there!...Here are some realization about tap water and bottled water, I'm hoping that this will help, for you to think of which to drink....

Water is the most constituent of living matter. 50 to 90 percent of weight of living organisms is water. It is the best liquid that helps our body to function well. Each of us needs to take atleast 8 glasses of water a day.

Knowing the importance of drinking plenty of watet, most people drink tap water and bottled water. But wait, do you know which is more convenient and safer to drink?

Both are refreshing and healthier than softdrinks because they are calorie-free. Mineral, purified or distilled water in bottles are everywhere, convenient to carry around and tastier than some tap water.

All advertisements are convincing us that liquids in the bottle is the purest drink because they are filtered and treated in such ways like distillation, deionization and the like.

But scientists in Germany found that the lobger a bottle of water stays or sits in a store or in your home, the more antimony it develops. (Antimony is a potential toxic material used in making bottles) and high concentration of this can lead to diarrhea, vomiting or nausea. In most bottled water, when stored in hot or warm temperature, the plastic may leach chemicals into the water and therefore bottled water might be harmful.

Tap water is more eco-friendly than bottled water, an easier way to conserve resources and using tap water means less plastic waste. We can say that it is inconvenient to put it in your own container but it is better to have less exposure to plastics if we are talking about a healthier way of living.

So , for a safer water to drink let us try tap.water again. Carry your plain filtered tap water or boiled tap water in a reusable stainless steel or sport-water drinking container and always clean it between uses. If possible, you can use glass container rather than plastic.

Thank you for reading! I hope my post will help you decide in choosing what you should drink.
