The Perfect Thirst Quencher" Editorial by Windy City Magazine

By George Napoli

"Quench thirst with H2O." That's what Time-Out Chicago Magazine surveys in their July 23-29 issue. They claim that "71% of you said H2O is your favorite summer time thirst beverage." When it comes to the best thirst quencher, H2O is the absolutely best choice.

To quench your thirst, there is no substitute for water. But just like the second piece of pie isn't as good as the first, neither is the second glass of water. After a while, drinking proper levels of water is easier said than done. Drinking sufficient levels of water is important to both quench your thirst and keeping you properly hydrated.

Trouble is, water gets boring and sometimes you have no desire for plain water and typically reach for high caloric beverages like juices and soda. Other times you may reach for coffee and tea that actually dehydrate you. Even though they both are made with water, brews and tea provides us with no hydration advantages.

There has not been a real alternative for these high caloric beverages nor are there effective products that actually help promote hydration. Blending your own flavored waters is one possible solution. Using fresh fruits and natural fruit concentrates in plain tap water is one sure fire way to avoid beverages with calories while making water taste great.

Buying bottled flavored water is another viable solution. There are a lot of bottled flavored waters in the market. Look for products that taste great, pricing that doesn't break the bank and most importantly, find flavored water with 0 calories, or at least smallest amounts possible. Otherwise it may properly hydrate you but it may add extra calories and pounds to your diet.

Flavored H2O without calories is becoming a popular inexpensive solution to high caloric beverages. Here are some of the better reasons we consume flavored H2O. We drink it as an everyday treat that is quickly growing as a favorite choice for us.

Drinking water at sufficient levels is tough and flavored waters makes drinking tap water easier and more fun to do. Sodas, teas and coffee dehydrate consumers even though they are made with H2O. Flavored water is a healthy alternative for healthy people.

We also drink water with flavoring for general refreshment, instead of sugary alternatives and to get a feeling of something substantial. Flavored water wins out over ordinary bottled water when it comes to great tastes. Flavored water also helps to satisfy a craving for sweets and sugars.

Flavored water exists in the soft drink industry where people are searching for unique products at a price. Look for bottled flavor water in your local market. Natural flavor concentrates are also available online, have no calories and let you make your own perfect thirst quencher, for pennies a glass.

The more you enjoy the taste of H2O, the more water you will consume and that is really good for your health. It's as easy as that! When it comes to weight loss, flavored water without calories makes the "perfect diet drink" and is certainly a way to enhance the "perfect thirst quencher."

In a review of the reasons we drink flavored water, keep this one thing in mind. By enhancing the flavor of water and making it taste better, the second piece of pie may be just as good as the first. And, in this case, the more pie you eat, the better it is for your body: its cells, your brain, metabolism and blood system. Please pass me a third piece! - 29951
