Which
is better tap water or bottle
water?
First
of all, water that comes
out the tap is 100% Kosher,
clean, cheap and good for
you! L'chaim!
Your
water needs depend on many
factors, including your
health, how active you are
and where you live.
According
to an article that appears
in the February 2008 Reader's
Digest more that 25% of
bottle water comes from
a public source.
We
consume over 8 billion gallons
of bottled water in 2006
- 10% more than 2005. Cost
of bottled water per gallon
is more expensive than a
gallon of gas and is essentially
the same as what you would
get out of the tap.
The
prefect recipe for tap water
is to add a lemon. What

being an amazing body alkalizer/alkaliser,
lemon water also gives the

properties and can ease
heartburn, bloating and
other digestion problems

you do not do anything else

careful of urban legends.....
Blessing
for water is Shehakol:
Before eating or drinking
any other foods (such
as water, meat, fish,
dairy, mushrooms, and
all beverages other
than wine and olive
oil, including fruit
juice):
Ba-ruch a-tah A-do-nai
E-lo-hei-nu Me-lech
Ha-o-lam, she-ha-kol
ni-h'yeh bid-va-ro.
Blessed are You, HaShem,
our God, King of the
Universe, by whose word
everything comes to
be. |
