Drink water instead of soda, alcohol, other sugary drinks. Eventually you'll find yourself to be an expert water connoisseur and prefer water over pretty much all beverages.
Sometimes I indulge in a coke but I usually prefer tap water now.
Same. Often finish the can with a feeling of disappointment and thirst.
Not like that for me. But there is a certain lack of satisfaction if I had to define it.
I love water so much I always add a splash to my whisky!
in the uk old timers would order "whiskey and threat" - like just threaten it with water
Almost all bottled water is loaded with microplastics. Ideally, drink water from a filtered tap.
It's okay, there storednin my balls for later
Along with all of my pee
I have a water filter at home. I never use bottled water. Almost every public space also has clean and safe water so if you bring a reusable water bottle with you, you'll have free water everywhere.
Filters are usually made out of plastic :)
There's a difference between high quality plastic performing filtration while it's cold plastic and cold water vs crap plastic that's regularly exposed to high temperatures during transport and storage with the same water contained the entire time.
Maybe, I'm no expert. But, I've seen a test showing a consumer water filter increasing microplastics by 1000%. Could just be only that specific filter or filter type. I believe it was a Zero filter, which I think uses resin beads for ion exchange.
Interesting, I used ZeroWater for a while ... and know others that do. But yeah, searching around it seems it's only ConsumerLabs.com that came up with that result and all other filters were removing (at least some percentage of) microplastics.
I'm not sure how much I trust that ConsumerLabs.com test: https://www.consumerlab.com/methods/water-filters-review/water-filters/
Repeatability isn't really established by testing one device, one time. I'm not an expert either, but that result seems quite surprising.
I have a reverse osmosis system now personally...
Or Tea with little/no sweetening (my personal favorite is hibiscus with a little lemon in there).
Sometimes I indulge in tea with a bit of honey for the occasional caffeine fix.
Nah, I'm all about the kombucha now.
Edit: fuck, y'all really hate probiotics
