Hy hy hydrated. Hi!I found out today that my dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. There are many reasons why but one to which I would like to dedicate this post: water. Put it in your BODY!
So many of us just don't drink enough water. Slowly these trendy aluminum bottles are popping up more often in the hands of NYC-ers. So hooray - people are starting to drink the stuff. And, yes, I do own my very own Siggy SIGG bottle. And the matching cleaning brush and fizzy tabs. But so many times, I still have to buy damn plastic bottles to refill it while I'm out and about.
Honestly, because I am a water freakazoid. If there is any little particle floating in my water, or it didn't come from a purified system, I won't drink it. Trust me, I can tell. Give me the "Pepsi challenge" of water - tap vs. bottled and I will tell you which is which every time.
I digress...
I can go throughout an entire day and not drink anything (well except for my daily cup o' joe). It's sad and scary since water is the most basic necessity besides air that we humans need.
My father had been replacing Gatorade as his water source for a long time. I replaced mine with soda for many years. Dr. Pepper to be exact. And I am slipping back towards my sugar-filled liquid calorie habit. But now, my dad's wake up call has served as one for me. I sit here with H2O in hand (chug) and son-of-a... I swear I just spilled it on my keyboard. Lord!
Million dollar idea... I would pop a quarter in the slot if there were "fill up your water bottles here" stations around town. Fiji? Poland Springs? Evian? Want to hire me to develop and market? I will be your biggest fan! I will "like" you on Facebook. A quarter a liter! FILL ME!
So drink your water, friends. Or I will come back as Little Orphan Annie's radio show host and change Ralphie's secret decoded message to something worst than "Ovaltine." BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR WATER. Yes - a crummy commercial. S.O.B.!
