We know from childhood that we are 80% water. But for some reason, few people know how to drink water correctly in order to be healthy and energetic.
The cult of ablutions
Water is synonymous with life, and the ancient sages argued that you need to spend as much time as possible in contact with water - often wash, wash your hands, take ablutions, take baths, swim, look at the water, etc. It was believed that one should live on the shore of a reservoir, and not only because it is beautiful, but also because the energy of water gives strength to a person.
According to Ayurveda, water cleanses not only the physical, but also the subtle body of a person. It can wash away all the bad things that have accumulated in your body at the physical and mental level. After communicating with any people, especially unpleasant ones, you should take a shower or at least wash your face and hands. In India, ablutions are still considered a cult. Any Indian, even the poorest one, bathes twice a day - and usually on the banks of rivers or the sea - water from a flowing reservoir is considered more useful.
Water relieves stress, gives strength, it is no coincidence that we all strive so much for any bodies of water - instinctively we feel that we will recharge ourselves with energy in the sea, river or even an ordinary pool. So try to charge your batteries with water as often as possible. Even an ordinary evening bath can relieve stress after a hard day and lift your mood, while a shower washes away fatigue and invigorates.

Drink to live
According to Ayurveda, in the morning, a person should drink a glass of warm water, which starts the intestines. Then, during the day, thirst should be quenched with water - and in no case with carbonated drinks or packaged juices. They are oversaturated with sugar, which damages the body and makes you even more thirsty. Even diet soda is harmful in this regard - artificial sweeteners also harm the body.
So - drink water, if desired, you can add fresh lemon juice for flavor (and benefit).
Many have heard that you need to drink 2 liters of water a day. But at the same time, few people know that this rate is designed for a person of average height and weight. If a person is overweight, he needs to drink much more water. You can conduct a simple experiment - if a person with obesity increases their water intake a lot, then literally in a few days he will feel that he has become lighter. Besides the fact that water cleanses the body from the inside, it also fills the stomach and, as a result, a person eats less.
Cold water is considered harmful by Ayurveda, so it is best to drink water at room temperature. It is important to drink it slowly in small sips so as not to catch air.
Freezer water
Each person is interested in the question - where to get clean water. Even in nature studies at school, we heard about the water cycle in nature - and the same water has been going through cycle after cycle for millions of years, being purified through natural filters. But over the past couple of centuries, humanity has been very much polluting not only water, but also nature as a whole, so it has become very difficult to find real water.
Drinking water vendors use a variety of tricks to play on consumers' desire for clean water. In advertising for this water, we see mountain rivers, glaciers, etc., but most of the bottled water is actually ordinary tap water, and this can be read on the label. Usually, manufacturers write this - water from a centralized source of water supply, which means an ordinary water supply. You don't have to pay for it - you might as well just drink tap water.
Each area has its own water, different reagents are used everywhere for water purification, but you can get more or less pure water using carbon filters. Coal is an excellent absorbent that absorbs harmful substances.
Freezing also perfectly cleans water. All contaminants are usually concentrated in the middle of the bottle. Therefore, you can defrost the water, and at the same time have time to throw out the frozen "core", in which all the harmful substances remained.
