At the end of the day, both distilled and tap water are just water. One is a minimalist monk who meditates in a mountain cave, and the other is a friendly neighbor with a slightly dusty yard. You don’t need to stress about it. Your body is a amazing machine that handles both just fine.
So, drink what makes you happy. If you love the taste of crisp, mineral-less water that cost you a dollar, go for it. If you prefer the tap water that reminds you of home, cheers to that too. The most important thing is that you’re hydrated—and that you didn’t drink something that came out of a puddle. Unless you’re a frog. In that case, carry on.
Here’s to water in all its glorious forms. May your thirst be quenched, your minerals be balanced, and your coffee never be made with distilled water. Stay hydrated, you beautiful, water-drinking human. 💧
