Things that can make water unhealthy are:
- Bisphenol A (BPA): this is a chemical that is sometimes found in plastic water bottles and it can cause health risks for children.
- Not washing your bottle: if you keep your water in a reusable bottle, you must wash it properly. If you don’t, bacteria can form inside the bottle when it is warm.
- Drinking from the shower head: bacteria can also form on shower heads because of the same reasons, so if you drink it, you are possibly drinking bacteria.
- Crystal Light: people think that they are being healthy when drinking Crystal Light because water is the base of this mixed drink. However, Crystal Light is made with artificial sweeteners and just isn’t healthy for you.
- Drinking too much: when you drink too much water, sodium levels can drop so low that it could result in seizures or a coma.
- Caffeine: if you drink caffeinated water, it can basically lead to an overdose of caffeine. You could be irritable, sleepless, or restless if you drink too much.
From the article I read, I learned that if you aren’t cautious
about your water intake, it could lead to bad results. Even the little things
you never even thought of could be harmful to your body. The possibility of
these results is very surprising to me, especially because I’ve been told water
is the best thing I could drink for my whole life! I drink a lot of water
myself, so I guess now I should be more careful about it and you should too. Remember
to keep your water bottle out of the sun, wash your reusable bottle, and drink
only pure water, not anything that adds any artificial flavors. The link to the
article I read is below, please take the time to read it!

I really enjoyed reading this article because like you, I didn't even know water could be bad for you. It was very easy to read and understand because the way you set it up made it very appealing. I like how you bulleted each reason why water is unhealthy for us and then followed each bullet by explaining it. This kept me intrigued and I wanted to keep reading more. I didn't know drinking crystal light was bad for you because companies advertise it to be so "natural", so that's something I'll now watch out for! I learned a lot from your post and really like your background as well!

ReplyDeleteI really love your post and the health-related topic you are presenting, because that's where my interest is. The only comment I want to make is to talk about the prevention of unhealthy water, even it's not exactly your topic, but it will enhance your level to a broader way.

ReplyDeleteI appreciated how straightforward your post was. I learned a lot about what kinds of things can make water unhealthy. However, I would have liked more information about what kind of health risks are associated with those things, such as the Bisphenol A.
