Water experts???

Question

I used to drink soda ALL the time. Now I've replaced it with water been a few months now. At first I found it hard to just drink plain water all the time especially when I was having flavoured drinks all the time before so I changed to sugar free, flavoured volvic water. But my question is, is this just as bad as soda/juice? And has it got the same benefits of plain water?

Answer

Flavoured water is far better than soda or artificial juice and if it gets you drinking water then that's great. Some of the ingredients are a bit iffy though with some concerns over potential side effects so it's usually a case of "don't drink too much" to keep safe. If you want some flavour then have you tried infusions? E.g. Lemon, cucumber or strawberry. You just cut the fruit into a big jug of water and leave it in the fridge overnight then the flavour goes into the water :) you can play around with what you like but it's better than flavoured water. Have you got a filter for your tap water? Water tastes differently in different areas (I live in the mountains and the only tap water that's ever matched the quality of ours was in Austria, city water tends to be a bit "Bleh") so a water filter might help with the taste, too.

Tl;Dr - plain water with diy natural fruit infusions is better than flavoured water which is better than soda

Answer

Have you tried an infuser? I love cucumber in mine!

Answer

Try infusing your own water with fruits. The problem with sugar free drinks is that they generally have artificial sweeteners. And those aren't that great for you either.
