Why don''t people drink regular water anymore? What is this mineral, powerade, vitamin water crap?!
What is with this artificially flavored, vitamin, colored water crap all over the place with calories that encourage you to drink while working out!. I saw this fruit flavored thing you add to the PUR water filters you attach to the faucet, so is that necessary!? What, regular water doesn't cut it anymore!? Too much need for sugar or something!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I think in general those are a rip off, but from what I know, they aren't "loaded" with sugar, and I'm pretty sure some flavored waters are sugar free!. If you're talking about Gatorade though, that stuff is GREAT to have if you are working out hard, or it's really hot out and you're sweating a lot!. It's been scientifically proven to work better than water to replenish what you have lost during exercise, since it has small amounts of sodium and potassium, which you lose during sweating/working out!. Not to mention the moderate amount of sugar it has which gives needed energy to your body!.
Anyway, not to get off the subject too much now!. haha!. Yes, it's good to drink off and on while working out, more so if you are sweating a lot!. Water is fine for a lot of people though, who aren't doing a really intense strenuous workout!.
I personally avoide tap water as much as possible, and don't trust it in general, but maybe I'm being too paranoid at times!. ha!. I just have read enough bad stuff about what's in it or CAN be in it, to wanna avoid it!. Plus I have Crohn's disease (disease that affects GI tract), so for that reason too I am extra cautious a lot about what I drink and eat!.
Distilled water is the best water you can drink from what I have read tons of times!. And it's pretty cheap too, even at Whole Foods!. It's about a dollar for a gallon of it!. You will most likely pay more though for distilled water from other brands like Smart Water!. And purified water like Dasani (stuff that says it's purified by reverse osmosis), is good too!. I'd also take that over tap water any day!. haha!. I hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I wake up, one of the first things I do is have a glass of water!. then, at the end of the morning routine, either a cup of coffee, Mountian Dew, or Monster (Khaos)!. One of my reasons for drinking flavored drinks is actually the caffine, then again about half of the Mountian Dew I drink is diet because it's not quite as sweet!. When I drink energy drinks, Monster Khaos is one of the only ones I will drink because it dosen't have the after taste most energy drinks do!. Generally throughout the day, I will drink between 8 and 12 glasses of water a day though, in addition to a normal 2-4 cups of coffee, and 3-5 sodas!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I had to laugh at myself!. I just sat down at the computer- and have just made myself a 16!.9 ounce water bottle with cherry blossom flavor! I honestly love water- I don't drink soda!. Just certain juice, some flavored water, and tea!. I had not tried to the PUR water filters that have flavors!. Why the alternatives!? One, companies make more money- and some see it as though they are promoting a healthier, nutritional lifestyle!. For other like myself, I had gestational diabetes while I was pregnant- and recently gave birth!. No sugar allowed! So, for now- they say to continue certain healthy habits!. If I can't have ice cream, why not substitute with a no sugar, no carbs, no calories flavored water!? I still drink regular water, but I like choices!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I prefer normal tap water to anything else!. My bf always gets an iced tea and he took a water bottle with him to work and drank water for once and said he felt better than when he drank iced tea!. I think it's ridiculous that people would want to attach things to the faucet too!. I mean everyone has their own taste so more power to them but give me tap water or a normal bottle of water I will take that over anything else!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
the people would produce crap for money- it's business!. Besides, the more expensive, the more people would want to buy it because it is expensive and they could show it off!. Then, authors, such as lisi harrison makes her characters in her books drink them, fans of the book will also buy it!. it's the circle of life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They are money for drink companies!. Plain water is sooo old school!.
Plus when you get so used to sugary things, drinking plain water can taste bad!. Your perception for sweet goes down, so you need even sweeter things to be able to even taste it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
