Water Is My Favourite Drink | #WE 195

He who brings water, brings life. ~ Igbo proverb

Water among my people, the people of the eastern region in Nigeria, is very important. I have come.to cherish water so much because I know its relevance to life and existence. As a child, I loved to taste some of the drinks that people around me take but as time passed, I realized how important good water is.

What is My Favourite Drink

Water is universal. But good water may be scarce. Until you realize it, you won't know that water is seen everywhere but it is one of the most expensive commodities on the globe.
We should be grateful that we have water. I have read about places around the world where good water is not available. Places like Germany and Japan still import water from overseas countries. This is so because of the consequences of bio-nuclear weapons used during the second world war. For those of us who have access to water, I mean good water, we should care for it.

Water is a natural creation unlike every other kind of drink that came up as a result of scientific mixture.
The World Health Organization has announced in recent time that man should not misuse water because good water may go into extinction if not well catered for.

Why Do I Prefer Water?

Over the years, I have tasted all sorts of drinks. From whiskey to beer, to Vodka and gin. As a result, I have come to the conclusion that the best drink for my body and immunity is water.
No wonder, my tribe prefers to say good things about water.
We all know that good water is colorless, tasteless and odorless. The features of water makes us drink with ease and not think of any major health challenge that may arise from drinking water.

• Water is important in helping us maintain a normal body temperature.

• It helps to remove toxins from the kidney or entire human system.

• Water also helps in lubricating the human joints.

A lot of other drinks can not perform the duties that water would to the human body system.

The reason why I have decided to stick with water is because of the danger caused by taking other kinds of drinks which are made with chemicals, preservatives, and sugar, resulting in the high rate of diabetic patients we have around the world.

Now ❗

The people of eastern Nigeria believe so much that when you have a guest in your home, the first thing you can use to welcome them is water. Hence, when water is served, it is an indication that such a person is welcomed.

The one who is visited may have other assorted drinks at home but water is served first because of its role in the socio-cultural life and existence of the people.

In my home, I have two tanks or reservoirs where water is kept for domestic use. These tanks cannot be filled with other kinds of drinks, definitely.
I want to Imagine a home where two tanks or reservoirs are used to store beer, whiskey and gin.

Let's take water seriously.
