365 China Photo: One-A-Day

I wake up every morning and the first thing I do is drink a glass of ice water with lemon. This is nothing unusual for a westerner but drinking ice or cold water is something most Chinese people never do. Like most Chinese, Canthy believes that cold water jars the system so she only drinks warm or hot water even on the warmest days. Anyway I try and drink at least 1.5-2 litres a day of pure water a day as it keeps my brain fresh and flushes out toxins from my body. However sometimes water can be boring so I was excited to see Vitaminwater being promoted in my office building. The bottle packaging is rather cool but when I learnt it contained 33 grams of sugar my enthusiasm quickly diminished. You can read more about the Vitaminwater brand here on my other blog. In summary; it looks cool, tasted refreshing but think I’ll stick to plain old boring water, which is a much healthier option for now.
