This is the best stuff ever. Seriously.
Some bottled water that you hear of claims to be
from 'natural springs' or whatever but then turns
out to be bottled from some city's tap water
system. So I read the label carefully on this one.
It is indeed bottled in the Fiji Islands.
Here's what the label says about it…
Fiji water comes from an aquifer deep within
the earth on the islands of Fiji. Bottled at the
source, natural artesian pressure forces the water
through a sealed delivery system free of human
contact. It is never exposed to the environment.
At least, until you unscrew the cap.
I had to laugh at that a bit. There seems to be
some buried subtext in it that says…
Water is pretty good stuff when we humans don't
fuck it up.
Put it in the coldest part of your refrigerator and
you are good to go. My grocery store only carries the
bigger 1 liter bottles of Fiji, which are not convenient
to carry around. So I got a bottle of the smaller 500
ml stuff and pour the water from the big bottles into it.
If you can't get it at your local store, you can get
it on the internet from places like Amazon.com. They
talk about the high cost of the water. But you can get
a 24 bottle case of it from Dr. Soda for what amounts
to $1.17 per bottle. The 1 liter bottles over at my
grocery are $1.99 — even cheaper.
I should mention too that I've never been a bottled water
guy. Spokane tap water is pretty good tasting, so I
normally fill a plastic jug with it and put it in the
refrigerator for a couple of hours. But I've been drinking
a lot more water over the past year. And when I came upon
Fiji water almost by accident and tasted the stuff, I was
an immediate convert. Somehow, you can just taste the
lack of the normal crap that you find in water — even
other bottled waters.
And I didn't know it until I did a bit of research but
evidently the stuff is quite popular in some circles.
Gee, it seems I'm never in the loop!
One of my teachers, Dr. Galm, told us in my Cultural
Ecology class that if the 20th century had been all about
oil, then the 21st century would be all about water and
water sources.
I believe him.

I just had a discussion with the kinesiologist at Fit Steps today. She fussed at me for not drinking water. All the health officials do. I don't like it.But I was told that it might help with the muscle spasms I'm having in my legs at night, so I bought some of that additive that you can buy to put into bottled water to make it taste not like water. I'll give it a try. I also recently did an overnight oximeter monitoring recently and today my doctor's office calls and tells me I need oxygen at night when I sleep because on that test, my oxygen level fell to 82 at one time. And shortly thereafter I got a call from Lincare that Dr. Holm had ordered the oxygen for nighttime only and when could they bring me the setup.So now, I have big old clunky oxygen thingy with a whole supply of tubing and nasal canulas tha t I have to start using tonight. The guy "promises" me that I will sleep better.Not overly thrilled about it, but I guess it's better than expiring in my sleep. Are you on oxygen Edward?
"So now, I have big old clunky oxygen thingy with a whole supply of tubing and nasal canulas tha t I have to start using tonight. The guy "promises" me that I will sleep better.
Not overly thrilled about it, but I guess it's better than expiring in my sleep. Are you on oxygen Edward?"Oh yeah. Had one for years now. Sounds like a big bulldozer when it's running. If I sleep with the canula it always falls off. So I don't. Which is why I have to "sit up and breathe" (as I call it) at least once a night. No solution though unless I would duct tape the canula to my face. :pCramps in your muscles can also be low potassium. Just thought I'd throw that in. Hope it all goes well for you. I think from the past year that drinking more water does help significantly.
Hot Springs, Arkansas, sells its natural water. It comes from underground springs that are mineral-rich and naturally very, very hot. People go there from all over the world to "take the baths" for the curative effects of that water. There are springs in the town that you can walk up to and fill a bottle for free, too. They just run out from between the rocks. Pretty cool, huh?:D
I live on water,sometimes I can have 20 glasses of water … some how it is making me more energetic and happier. My doctor even checked my sugar level to make sure I am not diabetic and I drink so much water! To think that both my kids drink very little, I think I compensate for them 😆 New York City has very good water too! :happy:
@ Angeliki. You are waterlogged!:lol:@ Star. Oh I've heard of Hot Springs. Didn't know much about it though. Don't think I'd want to drink hot water. Free or not. But hey you think you could take a tea bag and hold it under the stream and make a cup of tea? I betcha could. 🙂
Two days ago some nutritionist told me that, according to her data, man of my height and age should drink about 3 liters of water per day. And this is actually amount I drink every day. Only, I don`t like bottled water. Tap water is still good here and I fill the glass directly from it. Or make a tea :DFiji is somewhere in the middle of Pacific, I wonder where they find that much water that is not salt, enough for both domestic needs and export :left:
:eyes: wow … what a hype! good public relations … 'though I rarely drink bottled water, tap water here is 50 % groundwater and 50 % from a river dam … and it's good enough … I only drink coffee whole day long … not 3 liters a day, but I guess 2 liters :coffee:… but seriously really good public relations :up:
:yikes: 1 liter pepsi a day … I would have 15 kg more after a year …
@ Darko. 3 liters. That's amazing. I drink liquids of various types pretty much continuously all day long. I just seem to need that. @ Dirk. They've certainly got the right product at the right time, I'll say that. I drink 1 or at most 2 cups of coffee in the morning. My big trouble is Pepsi. I've recently gotten my Pepsi consumption down to 1 liter/day. But before that it was 2 liters/day.
My dad never drunk water. He was a Pernod-Ricard-Fan for the most time of his life.
There's a line from the movie Under the Volcano (I don't think it was in the book) where Albert Finney, playing the alcoholic consul, grabs a bottle of his aftershave while he is shaving and takes a swig of it. "Not bad!" he says. "Tastes a little like Pernod!"LMAO.
