- Replace Those Sugary Sodas And Juices: If you're looking for a fizzy beverage but don't want your bubbles paired with sugar or sugar substitutes, seltzer is the answer! At 0 calories and 0 grams of sugar per serving, this drink delivers flavor and fizziness that is most enjoyable. If you aren't ready to cut out sugary drinks altogether, you can use seltzer water to help trim the calories in other favorite drinks like wine and fruit juices, too. Make a white wine spritzer, for example, by filling your glass halfway with wine, then splashing in some club soda. Five ounces of white wine contains 121 calories, so you'll reduce that number by one-half or one-fourth by tempering your drink with sparkling water. Similarly, a cup of orange juice has 112 calories; reduce your caloric intake by using less juice and more fizzy water.
- Keep Yourself Hydrated: You may not think of water as a nutrient, but it is essential for good health. Water keeps you hydrated, is necessary for moving nutrients throughout your body, keeps you feeling full between meals, and reduces fluid retention. Most Americans don't drink enough water, according to dietitian Sheila Tucker from Boston College. The amount of water you need to drink each day depends on age, gender, food choices, activity, weather, and health conditions. In general, you should aim for 1 quart of water for every 50 pounds of body weight, or 3 quarts a day for a 150-pound person. Adding carbonated water to your drinking routine may help you meet your daily fluid needs to stay hydrated.
- Improve Your Digestion: If you're feeling a little sick to your stomach after eating, drinking a glass of carbonated water can help, according to a 2002 study published in the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is a term used to describe a variety of symptoms that occur in the upper abdominal area and may include bloating, nausea, vomiting, or quickly feeling full after eating. The researchers say that carbonated water helps.
- Alleviate Constipation: The same 2002 study also found an improvement in constipation in the study participants who drank carbonated water. When you're dealing with constipation, you know to up your intake of foods high in fiber. But getting enough fluids is as important as fiber when it comes to constipation. Fluids, such as carbonated water, help the fiber work better in your gut and make stools normal and regular.
