You must be making fun.  We are the generation that thinks pure drinking water is boring.Because of this the multi-million dollar market has started manufacturing flavored water or sport water with added vitamins.And you can get natural mixers for adding flavour to bottled water.Flavored water encourages people to drink large quantity of water.We are becoming a little spoilt by intaking these drinks, isen’t it?

Except for vitamin waters, flavored waters are just have, flavor and water and often a sweetener. We are drinking just when we don’t want – water with more additives – and is that really healthy?Following are the questions that many people are questioning.

The bottled water are not sweetened in the market now a days. This water is with some flavor to make the water drinkable.

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?

No one should throw their regular vitamins.You should carefully read the label of at least one of these vitamin drinks. Get Glacéau brand commonly known as Vitaminwater Essential Orange Carrot. The label verifies about the dosage of vitamins and minerals from A through Zinc. But a closer look will show 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 buying the correct thing for what we pay?

Oxygenated water is offered at tons of various stores by many companies representing large number of products. Does this product provide value?

Any water being exposed to air is assumed to be oxygenated. To add more oxygen gas extra pressure is exerted to the water.The oxygen goes back out into the air when the top of bottle is removed. Still, drinking oxygenated water, you are able to get a small amount of oxygen into your body.But how much oxygen really searches your blood system?

The American Council on Exercise researched on water and claimed it to be super oxygenated.These waters advertise more energy and improved mental ability to athletes who need that extra boost or anyone who wants to be healthier. The study claimed several water products to be oxygenated against regular municipal water.

Consuming oxygenated water had no effect on heart rate at rest, blood pressure or numbers of blood lactate . Red blood cells are approximately 100% saturated with oxygen during normal healthy exercises. They also state that any benefits of oxygenated water products could be possibly caused by the “placebo effect”.

Researchers tested oxygen of water of brand name bottles. The tests showed that the amount of oxygen in waters marketed as oxygenated is about three times lesser than the municipal tap water.

The advertising of water products are far from truth. Healthy hydration are promoted by the ACE because water is the main constituent of the body.Water protects critical organs, maintains the body temperature and helps the digestion. Except plain water no other water can give you that!
