The benefits of drinking water are clearly shown in the article cited above. Many people walk around in a state of dehydration, suffering from the ill effects associated with the lack of adequate hydration. Water, it seems, has been neglected and unpopular since the beginning of the soda invasion. Most people do not even consider choosing water as a beverage, opting instead for a Pepsi or Coke. Just look at any restaurant menu to confirm this idea. There will be twenty different kinds of carbonated soda and no mention of water choices other than the often frowned upon request for a glass of tap water with lemon instead of one of the sugary, gas filled sodas.
The water revolution has arrived, however. In the past few years, there has been an increased amount of new water beverages on the market, making it easier for choosy water drinkers to find a water beverage which appeals to their own tastes. Not only are some of the waters spring fed and crystal clear, but some are actually pumped full of a healthy dose of vitamins.
A Water for Every Taste
Tap water cannot compare to the variety of water beverages available to choose from. Sports enthusiasts may increase their stamina and boost their energy with water designed for athletes. Purists will enjoy the fancy-named water choices like Evian and Fiji Water. There is even special water designed for babies to drink called Nursery Water. Propel offers water choices with hints of flavors like citrus or berry. This water beverage uses an artificial sweetener to keep the calories down.
Glaceau Vitamin Water: The Water of the Future
At the top of my list is the line of Vitamin Water. This modern water combines a unique blend of vitamins and flavors for water choices that cater to specific needs. The 20 ounce size contains 2.5 servings. At 50 calories per serving, the total calories for this beverage are 125, with zero grams of fat and zero sodium. There 13 grams of sugar, however, accounting for 4% of the recommended daily intake for carbohydrates. Twenty ounces of water will provide an average adult between 20-30% of the recommended daily amount of water.
Glaceau Vitamin Water is described as a nutrient enhanced water beverage, as listed on the product label. In each serving, you'll get the benefits of water and quite a few essential vitamins. The catchy advertising on the label helps to explain the benefits of drinking that water, including information regarding how the main vitamins in that specific Vitamin Water are beneficial to your health.
Endurance is one of the many types of Glaceau Vitamin Water available. This particular product offers an interesting caution listed on the label:
Usage may result in increased stamina (no, not in that way). Further note: professional athletes have not endorsed this product, therefore, excessive use will not lead you to have a desire to be like Mike, Magic, or even athletes named Ned.
The Glaceau Vitamin Waters have a pleasantly light taste that provides flavor without overpowering the water with sugar or artificial flavorings. Additional Glaceau Vitamin Water beverages include: Defense (with added vitamin C), formula 50, Performance, Balance, and Rescue. New types of Glaceau Vitamin Water are being developed and marketed, as consumers and celebrities continue to develop a taste for this unique water.
Drink Water!
With so many new options to choose from, drinking water should be easier to do for those who prefer bottled, flavored, or vitamin-enhanced water. The difference between a 16 ounce Pepsi and a 20 ounce Glaceau Vitamin Water is a matter of health. Soda drinkers gain sugary calories and carbonation, while drinkers of Vitamin Water get a low calorie water beverage with nutritional benefits.
The weight loss benefits of water are an additional plus, in favor of choosing water as your next drink. Soda drinkers face extra calories from childhood, when they grow up on a steady diet of 2 liter sodas. Diet sodas add artificial sweeteners to keep the calories low, but research has questioned the long-term effects of ingesting large amounts of artificial sweeteners.
Before you pour that next Coca Cola, take a minute to consider if water might be a better choice. Glaceau Vitamin Water will even give you some added vitamins and a health boost. Check out the Glaceau website for detailed descriptions of the many water choices available and the health benefits of each.
