Choose natural Health Drinks Over Vitamin Water
Assuming vitamin water products are health drinks that enhance the benefits of drinking water is like thinking that candy is healthy for you. To truly improve the benefits of drinking water, it is wise to search online for natural health drinks that contain live enzymes, real whole food nutrients, and alkaline ingredients.
What is really in those enhanced vitamin water bottles and are they health drinks? The label on a bottle of kiwi-strawberry vitamin water suggests it will somehow enhance "focus". The first element to focus on is that this artificially colored water looks like pink cotton candy. Next, it is easy to focus on what is missing from the ingredients list for these health drinks, not one mention of real strawberry or kiwi, only "natural flavor". In fact, the label on this "nutrient enhanced water beverage" states that it contains less than 1% fruit juice. Looking closer, it is quite clear that these vitamin water health drinks are really only distilled waters with artificial ingredients.
One astonishing nutrition fact to note on the label of this enhanced vitamin water is that each bottle contains 2.5 servings, which is where the total amount of sugar in one bottle can be deceiving. The nutrition fact label reveals 13g of sugar, but that is per serving. Multiply 13g times 2.5 servings and that adds up to 32.5 grams of sugar in each bottle, more than most sodas. The first ingredient listed on this vitamin water label, after the de-mineralized water, is crystalline fructose, which might best be described as modified corn starch. That is what this chemically created pink drink tastes like, liquid candy, only with less flavor and more of a chemical aftertaste. With just a few sips it is easier to clearly focus on how these health drinks do not enhance the benefits of drinking water.
Look closely at the vitamins in these vitamin water health drinks. According to the label, each serving contains 10% of your daily requirements for Vitamins A, B3, B6, B12, and B5 plus an overly optimistic 40% of your daily allowance of Vitamin C. The shortfall is that these vitamins are not from any whole foods akin to real strawberries or kiwis. Remember, those whole foods were nowhere to be found on the nutrition facts label. Therefore, the live enzymes necessary to help the body use those vitamins are not there. It is a nutrition fact that whole foods like raw fruits and veggies contain live enzymes, which act as catalysts for vitamins and minerals to work in the body. Without those whole food properties in health drinks, vitamins are not easily absorbed and are more than likely flushed down the toilet. So, it is apparent that none of those vitamins in vitamin water are actually being used as fuel for the body.
This is why it is an intelligent consumer who makes the effort to look past vitamin water sales gimmicks and celebrity endorsements, read nutrition fact labels very carefully, learn about health drinks with live enzymes, whole foods, and how the body absorbs nutrients. If you are serious about your health and want something more than a vitamin water gimmick, search the web. Look online for valuable nutrition facts about whole foods and natural health drinks that really do enhance the benefits of drinking water.
