Aahh... Water... I just love that sensation, when I'm thirsty, and go and pour myself a nice glass of fresh lovely cold tap water... I don't think that there will ever be any sensation that is as good... Some of my friends say that beer is the best drink to freshen yourself on a hot day, and kill the thirst... But not for me... I LOVE water... And I do mean love... I even trained swimming for 2 years when I was younger... And I love to soak in a tub

and on the summer, in the river (in Danube, that passes trough my city)...
Anyway, why did I start this post... I just found out, by sheer accident, another function, or use, a water can have...
Currently, I'm sick as a dog, and can't really eat... And I was taking antibiotics... And, as a result, I have something everyone knows as heartburn, or better known as acid reflux... That's when HCL from your stomach, starts "spilling" overm and retorn to your asophagus, and since it kind of "eats" on it, it burns... But, I don't have a typical heartburn, I can't eat virtually nothing... Just this morning, I tried to drink a vitamin C tablet, that dissolves in a glass of water... Drank one sip, and instantly my acid was rising up to my throat... Soup... Raises it too, but not as much as vitamin C...
Anyway, I found out, that if I drink relly cold water, it would calm my heartburn.... It would burn for a second or two, and subside... So, you could see me this evening, drinking one sip of soup, and one sip of cold water

But to hell, it works... One could also eat ice chips, swallowing them direclty, it has a nice sensation, and actualy calms the stomach... So now, my fridge is full of bottles filled with water, and freezer if full of bags with ice...
You just can't help, but love water, can you?
