I’ve always liked fizzy drinks, the regular ones you’d get in any supermarket. It doesn’t usually matter which flavour it is, just as long as it’s a can of sweet fizz then I’ll drink it. I’ve been drinking them for years and it wasn’t until about five months ago that I realised all of my fluid intake (aside from the little I gained in my food) was all from fizzy drinks. Not only was I constantly dehydrated, suffering from headaches and having some major problems with my teeth but I had a real weight problem too. No longer did I feel like a fit and healthy twenty something, but I certainly didn’t feel 33. If anything I felt 53 but could I really be surprised at all of this considering I was consuming over two litres of fizzy soft drinks every…show more content… I began doing a lot of web surfing to see if bottled water would be a better alternative to tap water because let’s face it, it’s always a little cloudy when you pour it into a glass (I remember from the very few times in my life I did this). I naturally assumed that water labelled spring water, or pure water would be exactly that…pure but I soon discovered that it wasn’t actually the case at all. I was quite astonished to find out that the vast majority of bottled water was simply tap water, some of which had been put through a less than adequate filter in an attempt to get rid of the heavy metals, chemicals and other untoward substances found in our public water…show more content… It arrived promptly the next day, and was immediately displayed proudly on my worktop, like a beacon of my future health and vitality. It really spurred me on just seeing it. That was five months ago and I can honestly say I’ve never looked back.
When I started drinking distilled water, it took a lot of getting used to. My body was craving the sugar and aspartame from the fizzy drinks I’d been enjoying day in and day out and now it was getting pure, crystal clear water. It took my body just over two weeks to finally realise that pure H2O was actually what it wanted, and what it needed. My sugar cravings disappeared and distilled water became my go to drink to keep me hydrated.
Since starting, the weight has literally fallen off of me. By quitting my fizzy drink habit, I’ve ditched between 800 and 1000 calories a day (no wonder I was gaining weight fast). I’ve not increased how much food I was eating, if anything drinking distilled water has just pushed me to eat healthier too. As a result I’m no longer tired or suffering from the horrendous headaches that I once was. My fluid intake has increased too from roughly 2 litres per day to around 3 which is just making me feel full and hydrated. As fantastic as all this is, I think the thing I’m most happy about it the fact that the problems I had with my teeth have pretty much disappeared. Since cutting all the sugar out f my diet, my dentist has noticed a huge improvement. He says
