Sparkling Water Vs. Regular Water
Overview
Drinking plenty of water is essential for proper bodily functions. Water is essential for regulating body temperature, removing waste and lubricating joints. Some people prefer regular water and others prefer sparkling water. Both are healthy ways to meet the body's water needs.
Types of Water
Not all water is the same. Sparkling waters have carbon dioxide added to give them that fizzy characteristic. Most tap water and bottled water has been treated to remove contaminants and minerals that might affect the safety and taste. Mineral waters, both sparkling and flat, have more of such elements as calcium, magnesium and sodium.
Benefits
Drinking water in general has a number of benefits, including keeping a person properly hydrated, as well as making it less likely he will mistake thirst for hunger. Water is a noncaloric beverage, so replacing high-calorie beverages with water can make it easier to lose weight.
Flavored Water
Flavored Water
Those who don't like the taste of plain water (LIKE ME!!) may be more likely to drink the proper amount of fluids if they choose sparkling water, especially if they choose one with a bit of flavoring added. Adding a little lemon or lime to plain water might also work.
The most important thing is to stay hydrated, whether it is through sparkling water or regular water. Both are healthful options and preferable to sodas and juices, which contain calories and sugars, and to caffeinated beverages, which can cause some people to be jittery or to need to urinate more often, according to the Mayo Clinic.
