You can go a long way to improving your health by focusing on areas with high frequency of exposure, like food, water, and breathing.

I mean, we all breathe countless times a day, eat several meals, and drink water constantly.

By adjusting a few habits, you can dramatically alter the inputs entering your body.

Concerns with conventional water
--------------------------------

With water, conventional options fall short.

Tap water? I avoid it at all costs.

Even filtering tap water has been shown ineffective at removing all toxins.

Then there's bottled purified water which isn’t any better. Storing it in plastic allows microplastics to seep in and purifying removes the good stuff like minerals.

The best choice for drinking water
----------------------------------

After learning more about my options for drinking water, I've concluded that glass bottled spring water is the best choice.

Collected from springs, it has naturally occurring electrolytes and a crystallized structure for cellular and mitochondrial health – unlike lifeless tap water sitting in pipes.

You can buy glass bottled spring water in stores, but that gets pricey. So I searched for direct distributors and found one in South Georgia servicing my area in Northeast Florida. They bottle Mountain Valley spring water in five-gallon glass bottles and deliver it to my door for $25 every four weeks.

Why I'm willing to pay a premium
--------------------------------

Since making the switch from drinking mostly filtered tap water to mostly glass bottled spring water, I've noticed a difference in how much less water I need to feel hydrated.

It makes me think about the long-term benefits of consuming this every day for a lifetime.

That's why I'm willing to spend $325 a year on glass-bottled spring water.

Many people might think that’s too much for something you can get for free, but in my opinion, it's one of the best investments I've made in my health.

I’m not quite there yet, but my goal is to reach a point where glass bottled spring water is all I drink.
