Bottled water is drinking water packed in plastic or glass water bottle. It maybe carbonated or not. It is easy to stow in your gym bag and a must for your at home disaster preparedness kit.

Here are 4 reasons why we should avoid from bottled water:

1. Water bottles destroy the environment

*The plastic bottle doesn't just disappear. In America alone, the bottled water industry uses enough fossil fuels annually to keep 1 million automobiles running all year. Worldwide, only 20% of all plastic water bottles get recycled. The rest wind up in landfills, where they take 1,000 years to decompose. As they do decompose, they leak harmful toxins and chemicals into groundwater.

2. Fix your diet

*This might not seem like a thigh-centered change but it will help your body deal with fat better overall, making focused thigh exercises more effective.

3. Buying Bottled Water Supports Unethical Companies

*Coca-Cola and Nestlé are two of America’s largest bottled water manufacturers. Coca-Cola spends millions trying to prevent GMO labeling. Nestlé earns its rank as one of the most hated countries in the world thanks to its reliance on child labor, pollution and mislabeling.

4. Water Bottles Are Bad For Your Health

*The ‘plastic’ in your standard water bottle is technically called polyethylene terephthalate, or PET for short. PET bottles contain a chemical called antimony. In small doses, antimony can cause dizziness and depression. Many plastic water bottles also contain BPA – a compound linked to increased obesity, behavioral problems and birth defects.
