Water Enhancers- Are They Really A Healthy Drink Alternative?

By George Napoli


Water is an essential part of life- all life. Many people today are severely dehydrated from drinking everything BUT water. The problem, or rather the complaint often heard is: water doesn't taste good. A bad taste in your mouth makes it hard to want to indulge in something, even if you know it's good for you.

Here is something interesting. It's been proven, many people today that think they are sick, could very well be dehydrated. Making water taste better helps a great deal when it comes drinking more water.

A new fad today in your grocery aisles has been what's called affectionately, "water enhancers". These are really convenient and can be put into any bottle or glass of water.

When it comes to water enhancers in general or healthy drinks in particular, here is a simple acid test to determine if what you are thinking about drinking is really a healthy beverage solution.

If it has a good looking color, pass. Typically, these are dye colors.

If you see artificial sweeteners, buy something else. These have been proven to be worse for you than the calories you save.

You have to be a diligent decision maker when it comes to healthy drinks. As far as the quick test and a score of three out of three, you shouldn't buy it or drink it.

When it comes to the acid test and a score of three out of three should tell you, don't buy it, don't drink it.

Now that you know how to measure healthy drinks, let's review water enhancers. Water enhancers are flavored consumables you can drop in your water to give it flavor without deflating the value of the water. They come in a variety of flavors to tempt any palette, and this stuff really makes the water taste good. You'd be surprised how hydrated you will get when you actually like the taste of your water.

A few people think they don't add a something bad into your water; they just put the good stuff in there. Others say watch out for the artificial sweeteners and especially the food coloring/dyes they contain. Water enhancers contain both artificial sweeteners and food coloring dyes. We think these water enhancers could have been developed more on the healthy side by eliminating the food dyes and replacing artificial sweeteners with natural sweeteners. A few of the enhancers out there deliver an energy boost, others come with vitamin, like orange flavor with vitamin C, so you not only drink your water; you get things often void in bottled water like minerals and vitamins! These elements are removed in the filtering process, but home filters leave enough in there. There are plenty of healthy water enhancers out there for you to buy.

Here is the best part of water enhancers. Just squeeze the flavoring of your choice and enjoy your favorite flavored waters!
