This is ridiculous. We are the generation that thinks pure drinking water is not intresting.This has given boost to the multi-million dollar market of flavored water or sport water with added vitamins.You yourself can add flavour to bottled water using natural mixers.Flavored water encourages people to drink sufficient amount of water.We are becoming a little spoilt by intaking these drinks, isen’t it?
Except for vitamin waters, flavored waters are just contain, flavor and water and often a sweetening agent. We are drinking water with added flavour that we don’t need and is that not unhealthy for us?These are some of the questions which lot of us are beginning to ask.
Currently market is full of unsweetened bottled water. To make the water delicious a hint of a flavor is added.
Then there are the sweetened bottled water – sweetened with sucralose or carbonated sweetened bottled water.A lot of these are currently claiming zero calories but are they really?
Regular vitamins should be kept in use.You are advised to read the label on one of these vitamin drinks carefully. Purchase a Glacéau brand also known as Vitaminwater Essential Orange Carrot. The label verifies about the dosage of vitamins and minerals from A through Zinc. You will be surprised to know that the expensive bottle has almost 100 calories but only has between 2 percent to 50 percent of the daily value needed of 12 vitamins and minerals with several necessary vitamins and minerals missing. So, are we really getting what we pay for?
Oxygenated water is presented in tons to many stores by several companies representing different brands. Are we getting what we pay for with this product?
Any water being exposed to air is assumed to be oxygenated. This is increased by adding pressure to the water to add more oxygen gas.As the top of the bottle is taken out the oxygen from it goes into the air. Still, drinking oxygenated water, you are able to get a small amount of oxygen into your body.What is the quantity of oxygen that gets your blood system?
The American Council on Exercise researched on water and claimed it to be super oxygenated.These waters helps in gaining energy, more mental agility and more energy to athletes who require that extra boost or anyone who wants to be fit. Various water products against regular municipal water were found to be oxygenated after the study.
Heart rate at rest, blood pressure or blood lactate numbers are not effected by intake of oxygenated water. The outcomes were not amazing and it was pointed that in normal healthy exercise red blood cells are approximately 100% saturate with oxygen. According to the studies any benefits of oxygenated water products could be result of the “placebo effect”.
Branded bottles of water were experimented for oxygen test. The tests showed that the amount of oxygen in waters marketed as oxygenated is about three times lesser than the municipal tap water.
The study confirm ACE’s point of view that water products are not up to the mark as they are advertise. Healthy hydration are promoted by the ACE because water is the main constituent of the body.Body temperature ,critical organs and digestion all are maintained with the help of water. No other water can give that except the plain water!
