So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Bottled Water: A Refreshing Change

By Luigi DeMarco

It is only in the past few years that people have started purchasing bottles of water. There are several reasons for this. Sometimes it is because of poor water supplies or the fear of chemicals being added to the general water supply and other times it is because of poor water quality in the home. In addition, people have found that bottled water is excellent to have on overnight trips as well as when hiking, biking, or participating in other sports. Bottled water long island is an excellent example of popular water bottle usage which has come into vogue in many areas.

When purchasing bottled water one should carefully examine where the water comes from. At times there is a beautiful picture on the bottle, which does not actually reflect the water's origins. At one time some companies were found to be using regular tap water to fill the bottles. Fortunately, this is no longer true as legislation has, and is being, passed to regulate where the water actually comes from, making it safe for consumers. Excellent supplies are natural springs which, of course, are tested for contaminants prior to bottling.

According to doctors, to keep the body hydrated appropriately humans need to consumer 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. There are many side-effects to dehydration including failing kidneys, dizziness, and many other physical problems that can ultimately result in death. Not only does water keep internal organs healthy, but surface tissue as well. As most are aware, as people age the ability to retain moisture in the skin is significantly reduced resulting in winkled skin and rough patches. Doctors and dermatologists recommend that water consumed continues throughout a lifetime in order to reduce signs of aging as well as keep the body healthy inside and out.

One of the examples of good water is the bottled water long island. Following government regulations the taste is excellent and is used by many daily. Many people have abandoned using regular water for drinking and rely strictly on bottled water. Tap water is used, in most cases, for cooking, as when boiled it is not dangerous to one's health.

For the athlete, bottled water is especially helpful in maintaining hydration which is lost with excessive exertion. Whether one is involved in volleyball, basketball, baseball, football, or tennis, replacing lost liquids can prevent side effects which can significantly impact performance. Once dehydrated, people often become dizzy and sleepy. These are precursors for more serious results as this is a signal the brain sends out as a warning sign. For those who ignore it, fainting spells and eventually death can result.

Best of all this type of water is available in a variety of forms and can be found at various price points. For some Hollywood starlets, paying a $100 per bottle for the liquid which is airlifted to the states and come from such places as the Tibetan Highlands, fills the need. For most, however, that found in the local grocery store is sufficient to satisfy a thirst. Additionally, many grocery stores now have machines where larger receptacles can be filled for very little money.

Another good use for bottled water is when on a long trip with a small child. It can be used to wash dirty hands, face, or other parts of the body without trying to find a roadside stop where the facilities may not be ideal. It is also used for school children who have certain allergies to treated water.

Fortunately, for today's consumers, bottled water long island is readily available whenever and where ever needed. For those who want a special treat, to find it chilled makes it even that much more refreshing.
