Reviving the water drinks?

Advantages: Taste, Quality, price
Disadvantages: May contain Benzene, Sports Cap

...Looking on the shelf for drinks I've yet to try has become harder and harder as I've pretty much tried to sample every available drink in the local shops. Though when I saw this deep red Volvic I realised it was something I hadn't tried, so snapped up a bottle of what turned out to be Volvic Revive. Coming in a 500ml bottle with a square base and at a mere 39p this seemed like a value buy. As far as bottled water goes, it seemed to me that Volvic, despite it's claims of ?Volcanicty? was more similar to tap water than anything else, and sadly this made it the most drinkable of quite a sorry bunch. However looking at Volvic Revive struck me as something that was entirely different, from the colour to the claims on the bottle, it seemed there was something special here. With a name like ?Revive? it was easy to think this was something...

Review of Volvic Revive Flavoured Water Berry Blast

To Get Me to Drink Water...

Advantages: Better tasting water
Disadvantages: none

...You could say that I am very conscious of what food and drink I put into my body, especially since my heart attack a few years back. I then decided to do a lot of research on heart disease and discovered that prevention is better than cure for all disease and all it would take is a little discipline on my diet. I did not want to keep taking the heart drugs for the rest of my life and have since stopped, but this is not something I would recommend if you?ve had heart problems unless you talk to your doctor and heart specialists. When I came out of hospital, I came across a report on the Internet that said that we don?t drink enough water and this can lead to many diseases, and one of the diseases mentioned was heart disease. I found an article about a Japanese water cure that suggested drinking 3-4 large glasses of water first thing in...

Review of Brita Mistral Water Filter

  Water Way to Drink

Advantages: Improves water taste and quality
Disadvantages: None

...Water has a cycle, no not the two wheeled type but a cycle of use. Confused don?t be, let me explain. Water falls from the sky as rain or snow, it is then absorbed into the ground and into the water table deep beneath the surface. When next seen it is as a spring probably high on a mountain or hillside. The spring will feed a stream which then fed by other sources becomes a river winding its way to the sea. The water warms and vapour forms and rises into the sky and the cycle is complete. But is it. Into this cycle add man. Man who drinks the water, bathes in the water and uses it for all manner of unsavoury things, and then what does he do with it, I?ll tell you shall I, he puts it back into the rivers polluted with soaps and body wastes and glorious chemical cocktails, all treated of course but would you fancy a glass of what your...

Review of Brita Fjord Water Filter

Water, water all around.

Advantages: Keeps you healthy.
Disadvantages: Makes you pee loads.

...Drinking plenty of water per day may sound as boring as watching paint dry, but the benefits of doing so far outweigh any of the downfalls. This review seeks to explore these, to in turn hopefully get you the reader to drick more of it! Experts say that you need to drick 2 litres of water per day, in order for your body to stay healthy. It not only maintains your kidneys at a high standard by flushing them through, but also helps in keeping your skin looking/ feeling healthy. By drinking plenty of water, it can also stop you from becoming dehydrated. When you are dehydrated, then the rest of your body has to work extra hard in order to get enough fluid to all of the vital areas. This will in turn cause serious damage, so why not change your drinking habits? A lot of experts will recommend that 2 litres equals about 8 glasses per...

Review of Member Advice on Drinking Water

Water.Water. Everywhere.

Advantages: Very cheap. Aid to health.
Disadvantages: Taste at times.Boring to some.

...(Before some pedants comment that this opinion should be in the health category, it was after submission to ciao that it be included together with other waters in the beverage category.) .................................................................................... Few of us realise just how important water is in our diet and even less of us will know that a shortage of it can lead to so many health problems. We all get thirsty and have to drink. If we do not then dehydration will set in eventually, however the early signs of it are often overlooked in everyday life and not acted upon. We take tap water for granted. The only time that we notice it is when we go to another area and comment on it. We get used to the hardness or softness of it and it will taste different in different regions or countries...

Hell and High Water

Advantages: Improved concentration, better skin, higher metabolism, etc etc
Disadvantages: You have to wade through this op in order to read about the benefits!

...Drinking water isn't the most exciting of things, I admit, but it is vital, and I am trying to encourage you into drinking more of it. I read in a newspaper today that 42% of people in Britain are dehydrated - absolutely shocking, and I'm not being sarcastic! But so what, why is being dehydrated bad for you, I hear you say? Do you want a list?! Oh, go on then... Being dehydrated: ? slows down your metabolism, meaning you burn off fat less quickly ? causes headaches and lack of concentration ? gives you bad breath ? causes dull skin and can worsen dryness and oiliness ? stops nutrients being carried efficiently around the body As you can see, there are lots of benefits to keeping hydrated, but did you know, people prone to kidney stones benefit from drinking more water? Lots of fluid lessens the strain on the kidneys...

Drink Clean

Advantages: good life
Disadvantages: none

...One's health is very important to us and the people around us. In the circumstances of having water to drink, the first thing you should know is that what goes into your stomach should be the very first thing to care of. Especially drinking water. There are a good number of diseases you can get from drinking impure water like what the people of Zimbabwe are facing today from the Cholera epidemic because there's lack of good water and it really kills. If you are not able to buy bottled water, try boiling water in your home and have a water filter to filter this for you before you can even drink. You should never go somewhere and drink water from where you don't know the source. Its very important to take note of that. bad water causes you many unhealthy hazards and you are warned from drinking it and its like taking a slow poison. Beware....

water water everywhere and none for my dog to drink

Advantages: good in times of water shortage or out on a hot day
Disadvantages: tastes like tap water

...At the weekend the firebrigade was doing charity car washes. What you might ask has that got to do with Highland Spring water, well they burst a water pipe and left the houses here with no water for 5 hours. We had no notice to draw off water for things which wasnt too bad but we have a dog who of course at that moment had decided that he had drank all his water in his dish and the only thing on this earth he wanted was a drink of water. Although the water was everywhere it was a dirty brown colour. If it was just coming out the pipes pure perhaps my dog could have had a bit of that but not brown. I never buy bottled water but ... well he is 17 in June ... off we went to the local shop where there must have been a lot of dogs doing the same as they were limiting the stock they had to 2 bottles per person. We bought...

Review of Dee Valley Water

Water or Coke...

Advantages: Water...
Disadvantages: Coke...

...This was sent to me by e-mail, so I'm not sure just how accurate some of the "facts" in it are, but I thought it might be worth posting anyway... Frankly I'm fairly unlikely to post another "Member Advice on Drinking Water" anyway! WATER 1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population.) 2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. 3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 4. One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. 5. Lack of water is the number 1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers...
