			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you’re attracted to the personal and environmental benefits of green living, it’s time to investigate home and office water delivery. Billions of single-serve water bottles are sold each year, resulting in enormous piles of landfill plastic. Home water delivery supplies a fresh, healthy alternative to tap water and bottled water—without contributing to excessive plastic waste.</p>
<h2>Water Delivery Services: The Obvious Advantages</h2>
<p>In addition to preventing the wasteful use of disposable plastic water bottles, home and office water delivery offers customers other ways of impacting the environment and influencing their health. Consider the following benefits:</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Reduce, recycle, reuse: </strong>When you      receive home water delivery, your three- to five-gallon plastic bottle      won’t end up in the landfill. Instead, reputable water services will      sanitize and reuse your water bottle to ensure a lengthy life expectancy.</li>
<li><strong>Bottle-free options:</strong> Many office      water delivery services offer jug-free water coolers that plumb into      existing water lines, filtering water without the need for bottles. In      addition to avoiding plastic waste, these systems prevent home and      business owners from having to store and handle large, heavy water jugs.</li>
<li><strong>Reducing your carbon footprint:</strong> When you order home or office water delivery from a local distributor,      you’ll reduce the transportation costs and negative environmental impact      caused by trucking bottled water from several cities—or states—away.</li>
<li><strong>Contaminant-free drinking source: </strong>If      you dislike the taste and smell of your tap water or are concerned about      the presence of pollutants, home water delivery is a safe,      contaminant-free drinking option. And as a bonus—when you sign up for      office delivery, you’ll provide employees with a healthy, on-site      alternative to sodas and other sugary drinks.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>&#8220;Drink 8 glasses of water each day&#8221; is what we hear all the time but what weight loss benefits do we get from drinking water?</p>
<p>All functions within the body require the presence of water. A well hydrated body enables these functions to occur quickly and efficiently. All chemical processes involve energy metabolism and drinking plenty of water will make us feel more energetic and boost our metabolic rate.</p>
<blockquote><p>Water makes your metabolism burn calories 3% faster.</p></blockquote>
<p>Drinking water is important if you&#8217;re trying to lose weight, some studies have shown that thirst and hunger sensations are triggered together. If there is a slight dehydration the thirst mechanism may be mistaken for hunger and one may eat when the body is actually craving fluid. As most food contains some water, if one doesn&#8217;t drink much they may be subconsciously driven to eat more to gain the necessary water supply however, you also gain the undesired effects of increased calorie consumption. Drinking more water can help to prevent overeating and benefit weight loss.</p>
