A while back a health report was released stating that there were really
no health benefit to drinking 64 ounces of water daily. One specific aspect of water consumption this study cited was that drinking it doesn't necessarily lead to weight loss.
But according to
RealAge.com, people who regularly drink water consume about 9 percent fewer calories daily.
Even though I don't offer my pooch
bottled water, I definitely know the importance of keeping his liquid fresh (and the
dangers when it's not). Since I also appreciate the taste of cold, filtered water, I know I've always wished I had a dispenser like this in my place. Am I alone?
Even though we've already wrapped up (har har)
House Warming month, I thought I'd show you how to insulate your water heater. After all, Winter's still ahead of us, as are those expensive heating bills. This project improves your hot water efficiency by keeping water in the pipes warmer, delivering hotter water when you run the hot faucet.
Theoretically enough water exists for everyone on the planet, yet all too often it is in the wrong place at the wrong time and in the wrong amounts. And there is no shortage of humanitarian crises when this happens.
Half the world's population lives in countries where water is scarce.
My pal likes to bring
Io to the
DIY bath station at a local pet shop but complained to me that her dog's collar always gets all wet (during the washing process) and smelly (during the drying process). So I recommended this chic
Dublin Dog version instead.
Made of a polymer blend (read: rubbery), they don't absorb moisture, retain dirt, or harbor bacteria when they get soiled or soaked.
I've heard some people claim that hot water actually quenches your thirst better than cold water, but that seems counterintuitive. Cold water certainly feels more refreshing, but really, isn't water just water regardless of the temperature? Take your best guess below and tell me what you think the truth is.
A while back I wrote a post about the
Nathan Speed 4 Water Holder. I thought this nifty gadget was great for long-distance runners, since it holds a total of 40 ounces of water. After reading the post, a user had a great comment.
No — that's a myth. The myth may have arisen from the fact that cold water does absorb heat faster than hot water. However, once the water gets to a hotter (not yet boiling) temperature, it absorbs heat at a slower rate, and from that point it takes just as long to bring the water to a boil as it would if the water were hot to begin with.
I'm all for promoting peace and positive energy, but this world's going to need a whole lot more than these
H2Om water bottles. Fusing the chemical symbol for water, H2O, with the sound of the universe, "om," makes for a pretty catchy product name. And this is water with intention —not water infused with fruit juice, vitamins, electrolytes, or anything else you'd expect to pay extra for.
How much water have you had today? The
eight glasses a day theory has come under scrutiny, but we still need to stay hydrated, especially if we exercise and/or live in a hot, dry climate.
But there's another reason you want to keep hydrated;
studies have found that folks who stay on top of their water intake actually consume fewer calories.
