Boring! No Flavor! Flat! All these are words some use to describe
water. Even the Wall
Street Journal reported that 20% of Americans do not like the flavor of plain
water. Yet,
we know guzzling plenty of H20 is important.
Here are 5 recommendations to jazz up your water:
1 – Fruits and Veggies: Adding
some berries, lemon, cucumber slices or even pineapple
are great ways to add some flavor, without
adding lots of calories. You can let them soak
overnight or even freeze them inside ice cubes for a quick way to add a kick to your water.
2 – Herbal leaves: Another great
way to add zest to your water, without
breaking the calorie bank, is by adding herb leaves, such
as basil or mint. These will add a nice, fresh flavor, making your water that much more
refreshing.
3 – Single Serving Flavoring Packets: If you decide
to recruit help from non-organic sources, opt for those that are zero calorie
and aren’t packed with lots of
artificial sweeteners. There are many option for these on the market, giving
you a variety of flavors. They are also convenient to
pack, so you can flavor your water
anywhere.
4 – Liquid Flavoring: These are
similar to flavoring packets, however the amount
you are adding is in your hands. While some of these are already zero calories, be wary
of adding too much sweetener to your water. Moderation
is key to a healthy diet.
5 - Sparkling: Sparkling water is
another creative way to break the monotony of plain water. Make sure you go for
the “no sodium” option. Owning your own carbonator is a great way to monitor
this.
Now that you have some more
ideas, what are you waiting for? Go fill up on some H20!
