					  <description><![CDATA[
<p>Drinking bottled water has become extremely popular over the years.&nbsp; While the rise in sales can be attributed to the cheap and easy access to bottled water sold at your local convenience store or the fact that it is easier than ever to carry around bottled water whether at work or in your car, the truth of the matter is that bottled water is being consumed by many individuals looking to achieve optimal health and wellness.</p>
<p>Mineral water is perhaps one of the most healthy drinks available.&nbsp; Mineral water is usually bottled at the source of natural springs that not only tap fresh and natural drinking water, but also include substances that in many cases are extremely advantageous to our bodies.&nbsp; If you are interested in drinking mineral water as opposed to tap water or other types of bottled beverages, here are a few of mineral water&#8217;s known benefits.</p>
<p><strong>Mineral Water Can Help You Achieve Optimal Health<br/></strong>Most mineral waters include similar attributes that make them helpful in achieving optimal health. </p>
<ul>
<li>Mineral water is extremely helpful in replenishing not only water that is naturally lost from the body, but it also helps to balance electrolytes due to the fact that mineral water is full of electrolytes (minerals) which naturally dissolve in the water.<br/></li>
<li>Mineral water is also known to help combat bacteria and funguses<br/></li>
<li>Mineral water is consumed by many on a daily basis to help detoxify the body of potentially harmful substances.&nbsp; These substances are usually known as toxins and can affect the body negatively in many ways.<br/></li>
<li>Finally, many individuals that drink mineral water on a daily basis do so for its therapeutic properties.&nbsp; Many believe that mineral waters can reduce pain, aches and swelling due to the inflammation of muscles and joints.&nbsp; Others believe that mineral water can play a role in curing certain types of diseases and chronic conditions.</li></ul>
<p><strong>Substances Found in Mineral Water<br/></strong>While mineral waters differ on the type and amount of minerals found in each, some of the popular types of minerals that are found in a variety of popular mineral waters include:</p>
<p><strong>Magnesium</strong>- This substance can be instrumental in strengthening the immune system, relaxing the body and muscles and even help lower blood pressure.</p>
<p><strong>Chloride and Bicarbonates</strong>- These substances are also found in mineral water, they can play a role in digestion and assist in keeping acid balanced within the stomach and upper and lower intestines.</p>
<p><strong>Iron</strong>- Iron is also found in small quantities in many different types of mineral waters.&nbsp; Iron is a necessary mineral that is used by our blood to deliver oxygen throughout the body.&nbsp; </p>
<p><strong>Sulfate</strong>- Also found in many different types of mineral waters and is used by our body as a cleansing and detoxifying agent.</p>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[
<p><a href="http://www.glaswater.com/products_oxygenated_water.html?src=SEOblog">glaswater.com</a> is not only a great company to work with to create your own line of private label bottled water, but also has created specialty waters that can help differentiate your brand and help you increase profits.&nbsp; One of the fine specialty waters that <a href="http://www.glaswater.com/products_oxygenated_water.html?src=SEOblog">glaswater.com</a>&nbsp;offers to its customers is ASO&#8482;.&nbsp; ASO&#8482; stands for Activated Stabilized Oxygen and it is one the best way to keep oxygen fortified water stable for up to 2 years- guaranteed.</p>
<p>It should be noted that unlike <a href="http://www.glaswater.com/products_oxygenated_water.html?src=SEOblog">glaswater.com</a>&nbsp;ASO&#8482;, other oxygen water beverages can&#8217;t compete, because other forms of oxygenated water are just not that stable.&nbsp; In fact, some brands can lose practically all of their oxygen in a course of a few weeks.&nbsp; What makes <a href="http://www.glaswater.com/products_oxygenated_water.html?src=SEOblog">glaswater.com</a>&nbsp;ASO&#8482; different is the special process which creates an Oxygen stable molecule (O4).&nbsp; ASO&#8482; uses only three ingredients in its water including distilled water, sea salt and liquid oxygen, while the process is a trade secret, ASO&#8482; is not only safe, but perhaps the most stable oxygenated drink on the market today.</p>
<p>While <a href="http://www.glaswater.com/products_oxygenated_water.html?src=SEOblog">glaswater.com</a>&nbsp;ASO&#8482; is an incredibly stable oxygenated water product, even normal wear and tear doesn&#8217;t decrease its stability.&nbsp; For instance, chilling the water or heating up the water will not make ASO&#8482; unstable, only by drinking it, will the liquid oxygen be extracted by the stomach lining through digestion.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of Oxygenated Water<br/></strong>While plain drinking water is beneficial alone, drinking oxygenated water such as Glas Water ASO&#8482; offers additional health benefits.&nbsp; Oxygenated water includes two substances that are vital to health; water and oxygen.&nbsp;&nbsp; Water is used for many bodily processes such as digestion, circulation and chemical reactions; oxygen is also vital and important as one of our body&#8217;s main energy sources.&nbsp; For instance, oxygen is required for aerobic respiration (releasing energy from food sources).&nbsp; Replenishing your body with two vital sources of energy is one way in which oxygenated water drinks are far superior to plain drinking water or even sports drinks.</p>
<p>Athletes have been switching from sports drinks for some time now since digesting sugars and other chemical substances within sports drinks requires oxygen.&nbsp; This oxygen is taken from the digestive tract to enable this process.&nbsp; This means that for highly active individuals sports drinks could have a negative affect on your oxygen supply.&nbsp; Oxygenated water counters this affect in two ways.&nbsp; First off, there is no sugar or other substances that require extra oxygen to break down in your digestive tract, secondly, instead of reducing much need oxygen, as in the case of sports drinks, oxygenated water actually provides you with more oxygen- increasing your body&#8217;s potential energy.<br/>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Drinking Water is Perhaps the Best Diet Tool]]></title>
					  <link>http://blog.glaswater.com/blogs/4/Drinking-Water-is-Perhaps-the-Best-Diet-Tool.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[
<p>If you are planning on going on a diet, one tool that should not be dismissed is water.&nbsp; Water is not only one of the most essential substances that your body needs, but a great tool to help you lose weight.&nbsp; Here are some tips.</p>
<p><strong>Fill Up with Water<br/></strong>No matter what diet you are on, water should play a major part in it.&nbsp; By drinking water, you not only can satisfy your hunger due to a full stomach, but can help with digestion and remove lots of waste and potentially harmful toxins.&nbsp; By drinking lots of water (at least 8- 8 ounce glasses per day), you can flush out your system and lose weight in the process.</p>
<p><strong>Choose Water Over Other Beverages<br/></strong>There are literally dozens of beverages available- just walk into any convenience store.&nbsp; However, if you are on a diet, your first choice should be bottled water.&nbsp; Why? Its simple, bottled water doesn&#8217;t contain any calories, sugars, artificial sweeteners or other dubious chemicals.&nbsp; It should be noted that while caffeine is used by many dieters as a diuretic, it causes one to become dehydrated and uncomfortable- a result that many dieters don&#8217;t want to experience.&nbsp; Dieting is about feeling and eating healthy and it should encompass all substances you consume, not just the ones that you eat.</p>
<p>By choosing water over other types of beverages, you can easily cut out 300 to 600 calories each and everyday.&nbsp; The reason being is that most beverages are full of empty calories.&nbsp; For instance, soda can contain as much as 150 calories per can and many individuals drink more than just one can each day.</p>
<p><strong>Water Is Perfect for Working Out<br/></strong>Most people that diet also increase their activity by exercising several times per week.&nbsp; While many dieters think they need to rely on energy drinks or sport drinks to workout at a high level, you should know that water can easily satisfy all your needs.&nbsp; Water is not only essential to your body, contains zero calories and helps fill you up, but it also tastes great and is extremely refreshing.&nbsp; So no matter what your activity level is, you can always rely on water to help keep you going.</p>]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[How Much Water Should You Drink Each Day]]></title>
					  <link>http://blog.glaswater.com/blogs/3/How-Much-Water-Should-You-Drink-Each-Day.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[
<p>One of the most common questions asked when dealing with water and diet is how much water should you drink each day?&nbsp; While it sounds like a simple question, it really varies with each and every person.&nbsp; However, here are a few guidelines to ensure that you drink an adequate amount of water each day so that your body can function properly.</p>
<p>Most health professionals state that an average adult (150 lbs) should consume about 8 &#8211; 8 ounce glasses of water each and everyday.&nbsp; If you don&#8217;t quite fit the definition for average adult, one of the many ways to figure out the general amount of water you should consume each day is to divide your weight by two.&nbsp; For instance, if you weight 200 pounds, a good rule of thumb would be to drink about 100 ounces of water each day.</p>
<p>For active individuals you should drink more water based upon your level of activity.&nbsp; You obviously know that the more you work out, the more you perspire and use up your body&#8217;s water.&nbsp; In addition, you body works harder and requires water to keep it operating at an optimal level.&nbsp; For active individuals, you may want to consume about one 8 ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes of working out.&nbsp; If this doesn&#8217;t seem to quench your thirst, then definitely consume more.</p>
<p>If you live in a hot climate or are exposed to the elements in which you lose water, it is also good to consume extra water each day.&nbsp; For instance, on hot summer days, drink enough water to keep you cool and satiated, especially if you work outdoors.&nbsp; </p>
<p>If you are traveling on a plane, you should also consume extra water- about one 8 ounce glass for each hour you fly.&nbsp; Airplanes are notorious for dehydrating passengers due to the very dry environment inside the plane.&nbsp; This is perhaps one reason why many airplane travelers experience jet lag.</p>
<p>Finally, don&#8217;t forget if you feel thirsty, it is your body&#8217;s way of telling you that your are dehydrated.&nbsp; Drinking enough water each day is a great way to ensure that your body functions optimally.</p>]]></description>
