Bottled water

I was recently given a bottle of Dasani Purified Water and it tasted good! Then I thought, it must have something in it to be somewhat tasty and not at all plain so I started googling. ;) I found out some interesting facts that I want to share with you in case you're spending a lot of money on something that is free, or you're drinking bottled water because it's the most healthy thing to do.

Bottled water is the fastest growing beverage in the U.S. and is a 10 billion dollar industry! According to Marie Clare there are 6 myths. Here is a summary of the truths:

1. Bottled water is not necessarily better for you than tap water.
2. Purified water doesn't have to taste better. If you refrigerate tap water in a container with a loose-fitting lid, the chlorine taste will be gone overnight.
3. When it comes to fluoride, tap water usually wins.
4. You don't need 8 glasses of water a day. Women need 11 (91 ounces) of fluid a day, not necessarily all water. ;)
5. After an intense workout, you need more than water. Try Gatorade!
6. We're creating a LOT of trash with all those bottles by not using our tap water.

What do you think about before you go to sleep?

Unfortunately, I think about my past and current hurts. I know I should be thinking positive thoughts to aid in having a good night's sleep but my mind starts to play tricks on me before I fall asleep and this often keeps me awake even longer. I spend time trying to work things out and solve my problems, envisioning solutions. What we should be doing is giving it all over to God, praying and finding peace but not just at night, everyday. We have to let God help us. God helps us everyday whether we realize it or not. Sometimes we ask God to help us then prevent him from doing what we asked by standing in the way. I pray that everyone who reads this have a peaceful sleep. God Bless you.

About Me

Hello Readers,

My name is Polly, your sister in Christ. I’ve made this blog to reach out to God’s people and hopefully offer comfort and friendship in Christ. I want to share God’s love with you all.  I have a huge heart full of love so I have enough for you, don’t worry. ;) This blog is in relation to my twitter account http://www.twitter.com/speak2meLord. There I post inspirational messages and quotes from the bible and try to connect and help. Here, I will share what's on my mind, what I've learned from my Pastor, reflections about the Bible and life's ups and downs.

John 13 34-35 reads: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” ESV
