Water... Essential Part Of Daily Life

Water is an essential part of our daily lives. It is something we all have to consume to survive. The recommended amount of water is 8 glasses which are each 8 ounces per day. Drinking water is something that I do not do enough of. I know my body is suffering because of it, but I do not know how to force myself to consume even half the recommended amount. Any suggestions on what I should do? Part of my problem, I know, is that water has NO taste and I can't stand it.

A useful alternative to municipal or bottle water is to have a well installed. There is a great quantity of water that is never utilized in the aquifer. The water is fortified with minerals and depending upon your location, and unless there are underground pollutants such as from oil fracking, would be far healthier than anything bottled in BPH plastic or amended with chlorine or fluoride.

What about taking the chlorine out of tap water and doing your own filtration, that should help. Some people even have their own rig under the sink to do reverse osmosis.
