Do you drink tap water, and if your answer is no, why not? Water is full of nutrients which our bodies need, and contains no sugars, acids or calories, so why do so few people actually drink tap water?
Tap water in the UK is of a good quality, even though some individuals complain that it has a chemical smell or taste sometimes, yet there are still very few individuals who drink tap water, preferring to spend money on buying bottled water instead.
If you are not drinking tap water, is it because it tastes funny or because it is just “cool†to drink bottled water instead? Maybe you should have a rethink about that, so here are some good reasons why you should rather be drinking tap-water instead of bottled water:
- Bottled water is not really healthier than tap water, even if it says “added vitamins†or “enriched†or whatever, because the amount of vitamins or enrichment in it will actually do nothing positive to your body;
- Bottled water is expensive;
- Bottled water is bad for the environment because most of the bottles end up as pollution either in the ocean, rivers, or countryside or in landfills all over the world;
- Tap water is generally of a good quality in the UK
- Tap water is more convenient to drink
- Tap water is far cheaper to drink
Tap water actually contains many of the minerals that the body needs and which is normally gets from drinking water such as:
- Calcium – important for your bone and possibly also your cardiovascular health
- Magnesium – important for your bone and cardiovascular health
- Sodium – an important electrolyte which you lose throughout the day via sweating
- Selenium – important as an antioxidant and to your immune system
- Potassium – vital to various biochemical functions
