Described as the most valuable commodity, not only for the land but for the health as well. Without water, the body becomes unable to perform at its best, cellular responses are inhibited and the skin becomes dry and loses its firmness. Water is essential for good health, and everyone should aim for two litres a day.
Purified water is of course optimal, but it does come at a cost, so a simple water purifying jug will do the trick.

To Buy:
Best thing is - it's free! Bottled water can be bought from supermarkets and most stores nowadays.
To Store:
Store in the fridge to keep chilled, though the body digests room temperature water much more easily.
Tips & Tricks:
To ensure you take in two litres daily, have a glass of water as soon as you wake, and another before breakfast. Another mid-morning, before lunch and a couple in the afternoon. One more before dinner and another prior to bed, and you've completed the requirement without any extra hassle.
