A Mountain Spring Water Delivery Service Is Good For Your Family

By Essie Osborn


Unless you live high in the mountains, where you have access to a bountiful supply on your doorstep, the bottled stuff is probably of a much higher quality than the public supply. Every household and commercial operation should subscribe to a mountain spring water delivery service.

The human body is composed of more than 60% H2O, so it stands to reason that remaining properly hydrated throughout the day is going to be an essential habit toward maintaining optimum health. As a guideline, you should aim to drink at least 8 8-ounce glasses of the stuff each day. In fact, always try to have a glass or a bottle of water in easy reach. If you wait until you are thirsty enough to get up and get a drink, you will already be dehydrated.

Even a small reduction in hydration results in a disproportionate drop in productivity whether you are at home, at work or in school. Being too dehydrated to mow the lawn is one thing, but dehydration will affect your concentration on that crossword puzzle you have been looking forward to all day.

Every organ in the body needs to hydrated in order to function properly. This includes your skin (the largest organ in the body), your liver, intestines, even your heart needs the correct fluid and electrolyte balance. Most important, your brain needs plenty of fluids. Your body is losing water with every breath that your take throughout the day.

The loss of fluid takes place by evaporation through the skin and in the processing of both urine and stool. This baseline fluid loss is aggravated by exercise, being at high altitude, hot weather and even by being an older adult; seniors have a diminished sense of thirst. Having the heating on in the winter season can cause dehydration. During hot weather, it is very easy to achieve dangerous levels of dehydration, even if you are just working on nothing more strenuous than your suntan.

Why is water so darned important? Various processes in the body need a steady flow of bodily fluids. These processes include making saliva, circulation, absorption and transport of nutrients and maintenance of correct body temperature. Again, healthy skin, an important part of your immune system, needs a sufficient fluid intake. Maintain healthy skin from the inside and save money on makeup.

Don't like being constipated? Who does? This is another reason to make sure you are getting plenty of fluids. If you don't drink enough, your stingy colon will draw it back out from the stools. This will impair your desire to exercise. Speaking of exercise, dehydration can cause muscle fatigue. Scientists recommend drinking about 17 ounces every two hours before beginning to exercise. You should also consume fluid at intervals while you are exercising to replace fluids that are lost through sweating (sorry, perspiration in females).

It's not just the quantity, it is also the quality of what you drink that matters. Thanks to several pieces of legislation enacted in the 1970s, you can feel fairly secure that your community water supply is free from microorganisms. However, the reason it is so clean is because it has been processed with various chemicals and filters. If you can smell chlorine in the dishwater or if your bathwater has a green tinge to it, you need to think about getting regular deliveries of mountain spring water.
