Gimme some bubbles!
I noticed that I drink way more water when I have sparkling water, especially when I add a slice of lemon. If you're trying to drink more H20 this summer, try it! (However, if you are feeling gassy or bloated, you may want to lay off the carbonated water for a bit because the gas in the bubbles ends up in your stomach!) Like it cold and citrusy? Try freezing lemon slices (a very good strategy if you find that lemons go bad before you get to use them!)--pop them in some water and let them defrost as you sip! Stomach upset? Try putting a bag of ginger tea in sparkling water for an uber-healthy ginger ale! Feeling dehydrated/sluggish? Last 4th of July, this was me. My friend Shannon (props to Shannon!) told me to have some salt. I looked at her like she was crazy, but I put a little pinch of salt in my water and it worked WONDERS. Prefer still? You can also try putting still water in a carafe with sliced cucumbers and mint in the fridge for another refreshing bev, especially for summer! The longer you let it sit, the more intense the cucumber-mint flavor will be! Saving money? I love me some LaCroix, but if you drink a lot of sparkling water it can add up! I did the math, and at least for me, I figured out it would be cheaper for me to get a sodastream than to keep buying cans and bottles. (Plus, less recycling or trash for you!) Get your hands on one of those Bed, Bath, and Beyond 20% coupons (tip: they NEVER expire! You can ignore the expiration date!) to get $$ off. When each canister is done, bring your empty to the store and exchange it for a new full one for 50% off! Comments are closed.
