Ah.... sweet H20

Like it or not, water is a requirement for us all. Even the hardiest of humans who can survive without food for weeks and months would perish in a fraction of that time in its absence. Water is a multi-million Euro business, with supermarket shelves weighed down with the different brands of bottled water on offer, alongside your TV blaring the latest ad, demanding that you take the two-week challenge (and buy their brand) to cleanse your system with sweet H20. This is the task I have set myself, though I will not be forking out upwards of €1.50 for an over-priced "premium" brand. I will instead be partaking in the local or "tap" variety and report back here regularly. At it stands, I drink quite a lot of tea and coffee, though I have cut back of late. I currently drink about half a litre of water outright each day, not including the water contained in fruit, veg and even tea depending on which expert you believe - some say it is dehydrating, others that it is hydrating. I aim to drink 2 litres a day whilst cutting back to two cups of tea daily. I hope to feel less fatigued after the two weeks, enjoy clearer skin and to get my hands on some of the boundless energy the poor saps on the ad appear to have. Let the experiment begin!

Edit: As a testament to how difficult it is to change one's habits, it is now October and I have reverted to my old ways - too much coffee and not enough water! I thirst for change - time for another try?
