#40 Drink lots of tap water

Why? It will keep you in much better health. All that soda pop is going to pickle your innards and put calcium and other deposits in your veins and arteries. It hasn't been proven yet, but that stuff is made up of chemicals that we have no idea what they can cause over the long run.

Water is healthy. Most of us are suffering from chronic dehydration according to some experts. That means more aches and pains, particularly in the joints of the body, more headaches, more acid reflux, worse digestion and much more. Enough water helps your body flush out all the unhealthy stuff that needs to go. You might even feel perky if you aren't getting enough water and you start getting what your body needs.

Tap water is very inexpensive. Bottled water costs quite a bit more and, over time, many of the chemicals in the plastic bottle leach into the water. Some of those chemicals aren't too healthy.

Bad health costs money. Medicines cost money. Water can help many people, at least some. And out of the tap it is cheap.
