Pure water may not purify your mind but it can improve your mental attitude and keep your brain younger longer. Aging increases our need for water but unfortunately the majority of us are dehydrated.  A mere two percent drop in the body's water content causes confusion, fatigue and a serious case of the grumpies.

Tap water tastes bad for a reason: its loaded with lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, chlorine, microbiological cysts and prescription drugs!  Bottle water goes down quick but last forever in the landfills and home deliveries can get pricey.

Water is magical and these are the most popular ways to enjoy it even more.
