Water

11 April 2007

The type of water bodies love most is water from its most natural source - from a spring, or from fresh celery or juicy peaches. In actual fact, all other types of water are processed in some way and so pretty devoid of vitality. I suggest to anyone who asks, that a daily fix of freshly juiced carrot and celery juice is a scrumptious and healthy addition to the diet, providing bio-available vitamins and minerals as well. Munching on fruit and vegetables will provide you with a lot of water, so you don't feel as thirsty. Spring water from a trusted source bottled in glass that's then re-cycled is good. Any water bottled in plastic is not. Except in emergencies, tap water is a definite no-no, especially if you live in a city - you don't even want to think about where its come from! Filtered water is fine, pretty devoid of chlorine - (who wants to drink bleach?), fluff, poisonous metals like arsenic and other nasties. But the filters are expensive and must be changed regularly. The purest 'man-made' water is distilled. Distillers are not expensive. They boil the water, (removing bacteria, viruses, parasites, and heavy metals) turn it to steam, and condense it drip by drip into a special container that gradually fills, ready to drink. Such a small number of our minerals are obtained from water (even less if we're not drinking mineral water), that only the positive aspects of distilling - safe, clean water - are left. More on water, another time. For now think love and gratitude for any of the water we drink, and as Masaru Emoto writes 'when we pay respect to water it changes, you change and I change - because you and I are (70%) water'.
