Get one of these if you don't already have one.......https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KWJW7XF/re ... haWwy&th=1
I can vouch for the Pro One...it uses a spigot that I can trust.
There are other less expensive brands / models that might be a better bargain than what I show here.
The original brand of this type of water filter is called "Berkey" and they are more than twice the price of the Chinese knock offs.
The one thing I've learned is that I do not have the power to convince those who don't want to live a healthy lifestyle to do so. So, I concentrate on myself and my immediate family. Thankfully, I married someone who believes in health, fitness, and an active lifestyle as much as I do. We worked hard to instill these core beliefs in our child as well.
Some people can smoke and drink alcohol every day and live into their 90's with no adverse affects. Others seem to react badly to these substances. Me personally, I've never smoked anything, never did drugs and only occasionally drink alcohol. I don't even like taking over-the-counter drugs and try to stay away from most prescription drugs too.
As for Planet Fitness - I'm a member, but I sort of hate the place. I have been traveling a lot in the Southeast and its easy to find one almost anywhere and I can go at odd times. The cardio equipment is usually in good condition, and the weights are adequate. They got rid of bench presses and barbells years ago, and that pissed me off. Plus, they seem to be into the whole woke-queer thing and that pisses me off too.
