Successful Hydration Resources
Hydration Tips
- Bring a reusable water bottle to work and refill it throughout the day
- Fill up the water bottle before you go to bed, put it in the fridge overnight for cold water all day long
- Opt for water when eating out. You'll save money and reduce calories!
- Drink water with each meal
- Low- or no-calorie beverages
- If you're looking for some flavor, add it yourself
- Berries, lemon or lime, or other fruit
Sparkling Water - Let's Talk About It
- Sparkling water isn't necessarily healthy. In order to get it's fizz, pressurized carbon dioxide is added into the water
- This carbonation may make some hungrier and cause you to eat more
- To achieve a nice, fruity flavor, artificial sweeteners (stevia, aspartame, and sucralose) are added to the drink
- Even though these sweeteners have zero calories, they are problematic because they are 200 - 20,000 times sweeter than sugar, meaning, it may cause cravings for more sweets
- Additionally, zero-calorie artificial sweeteners may increase your risk for:
- Heart disease
- Weight gain
- Stroke
- "Don't rely on artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes, nature is sweet enough as is", Dr. Hashmi, Kaiser Permanente.
