Vitamin Water Goes Lo-Cal

vitamin watersVitamin Water has been in the news lately with some contretempts over the caloric content of their brightly colored, somewhat nutritious beverages. So it's fortuitous timing that they're coming out with 10-calorie versions of several flavors. Up for the dietetic treatment are Energy (tropical citrus/yellow), XXX (acai-blueberry-pomegranate/magenta), Multi-V (lemonade/white) and Essential (orange/orange).

Can you tell the difference between the 25-calorie bottle and the 125-calorie bottle? Well, the Essential lo-cal version is, weirdly, sweeter than the original, while the Multi-V is about the same. Along with the lighter revisions. Vitamin Water has also come out with two new standard-calorie flavors: Tranquilo (tamarind-pineapple/chartreuse) and Sync (berry-cherry/lavender).

An 8 oz class of juice or soda will contain as many carbohydrates and sugars as a portioned well balance meal which consist of vegetables, meat, and a small amount of brown rice. If you desire taste and fell that water is bland try mixing "propel" powder or another low card low calorie vitamin enriched sports powder in ordinary water. This will add taste without the calories or carbohydrates. If you want to be super healthy try drinking alkaline water: http://www.bawellwaterionizers.com/
mixed with the sports powder. By cutting out juices and sodas from your diet you can effectively reduce more than 50% of your daily caloric intake.

there is a great site at http://FlavoredWater.net that has lots of "Water and Your Health" type of information such as:

# Water lubricates joints and protects organs

# Water helps reduce stress, anxiety and depression
# Water helps keep skin cells hydrated giving the skin a more youthful appearance
# Water helps maintain healthy body weight by increasing the metabolism
# Water aids in the digestive process and prevents constipation
# Water helps transport energy (sodium & potassium) to the neurotransmitters in the brain
# Water helps curb addictive urges for some addictive substances like tobacco, caffeine and alcohol
# Water prevents the clogging of arteries in the heart and brain
# Water is a solvent that regulates all the functions of the body
