If you've ever wondered whether or not bottled water really is better than tap water the verdict is out. After a two year study the Environmental Working Group found that bottled water contains many of the same impurities that regular tap water does. Not to say bottled water isn't safe to drink, but many companies lead you to believe that their product is the purest of pure when it might as well have come from your kitchen sink. On average a bottle of water contains about 8 different pollutants that range anywhere from trace amounts of medication to chemicals used in the plastics industry. So next time you grab a bottle of water at the gas station think twice and save yourself a buck and a half, it may pay off at a time when the nation's economy is in crisis.

Holiday Fitness Tips
As Halloween and the holiday seasons loom closer the temptation to indulge in all the tasty holiday fare increases with each passing day. I'll offer a few quick tips to combat that holiday weight gain that everyone tries in vain to take off in January.
#1 Instead of waiting until after you've gained weight through the holidays and starting to exercise in January, find an exercise program you enjoy and start today. By being proactive and starting your exercise program today you can certainly not feel as guilty about a little holiday indulgence.
#2 If you end up with 3 Holiday parties in one week pick only one in which you will indulge in sweets or that extra glass of wine and stick to your convictions.
#3 If you are lucky enough to plan the office holiday party maybe plan it somewhere that people can socialize and be active at the same time like an ice skating rink.
