Healthy alternatives to drinking water.

[HamBone41801]

Drinking water is boring, doesn't have much of appealing taste. What are some good flavors I can drink instead that is tasty and healthy to consume? Also I can't drink 8 cups of water a day, is just too much and it doesn't help is not appealing.

good news, that 8 cups a day thing is bs.

All you need is a water pitch and lemons. Just cut them in to slices and put them in the water. Depending on how sour you want it, you just add more or less lemons. Simple and really tasty!

I like sliced limes and fresh mint from the garden (in spring and summer mint grows like a weed!)

That's why you brush your teeth three times a day.

Is it up to three times a day now? How times change.

I dunno, used to just be once when you wake up and once when you go to bed. So maybe is region specific?

It's a problem if someone consumes no dairy products, or very little, and doesn't also eat anything else that contains calcium like spinach for example - but once your body has had enough for its normal processes, having any more isn't helping you. Drinking a litre of milk every day won't give you stronger bones than someone who drinks one cup. And all that milk you are drinking is just increasing the amount of energy you are consuming, meaning you are putting on weight or else have to exercise more to maintain your weight. Not to mention, milk costs money, whereas a glass of water from the tap probably costs a fraction of a cent. And one last thing, that glass of water likely contains flouride, which is protecting your teeth, whereas milk is contributing to their decay.

oh, the advantages of living on a farm...free milk.

mix mineral water with some fruit juice, not packaged juice, or you can just add some tea bags to your normal water.

What is special about water? And if I'm making tea, why wouldn't I add sugar?

well, you're asking for "healthy aternatives to drinking water" you know, I kinda like to use mineral water for its bubbles, you can add sugar to your tea if you want.

I'd say vitamin water or something, but judging by the fact that you won't even drink water, you probably wouldn't end up using any of the energy

just deal with drinking water like everyone else, it's the healthiest thing you can drink

How about some beer it has water in it.

I do drink water, I didn't say I don't drink it, just I don't drink it as much as other things.

I don't drink alcohol.

 

[slaphappygamer]

I quit drinking alcohol a number of years ago. I turned to soda and mixing juices with seltzer water. Recently though, I just drink water.

In case it hasn't been mentioned, I have found mt dew to be an acceptable substitute for water. Just don't stop drinking it cold turkey, could cause some withdrawal. And invest in dental insurance. Had like 8k of work done.

Edit, oh wait, you said healthy..

Homemade juice, cuz commercial ones have more colorants than actual juice.
