Drink More Water at Work

Rule of thumb is to drink 1/2 your body weight in fluid ounces a day. This is all fluids, not just water. But if you include coffee or cola you need to understand they are diuretics. MOST IMPORTANT: know the waters source! Many bottled waters have travelled from distance sources and may be combined with ‘other waters,’ and not all processes are good processes. “Bottled water in U.S. fall under regulatory authority of FDA but some 70% never cross state lines so are exempt from FDA oversight,” from Mother Nature Network / Chris Baskind Mar 2010. Also, the petroleum in plastic bottles leaches into the water. And don't drink water that has any additives. The best thing you can do is filter your own water and use a BPA free bottle; which also saves the planet from spent plastic bottles. If you just can’t let go then PLEASE RECYCLE! State of Oregon now offers 5¢ refund on all plastic water bottles.
