The Benefits of Drinking Lots of Water ♥

*This is a guest post

 65% of the human body is water; it's an essential item for the survival of life as you know it. This only should inspire you to pick up a glass and turn on the tap as there are a huge number of benefits associated with drinking lots of water. 

Making Tap Water Safe
Before you can look at the benefits of drinking lots of water, it's important to consider where you are getting your drinking water from.

There are three main choices available:
      The tap 
Tap water is generally considered safe to drink. However, it does have a variety of chemicals added to it; including fluoride and chlorine. While these are in very small quantities it is possible that they can have a harmful effect on some people’s health. It is also worth considering how regular the water tests are carried out as contamination may not be immediately obvious.
    The Water Cooler
Huge bottles of water are fitted to a device and allow you to dispense cold or room temperature water at will. Companies such as Aquafil.com.au specialize in this. This water is 100% safe as it is regulated and checked before leaving the factory; every drop goes through the same checking process.
    A well
If you are fortunate enough to have your own well then you can save money on water bills. However, you will also need to apply caution as the water can become contaminated and you might not know about it until it is too late.
