There are lots of choices when it comes to water, but somehow, it\u2019s still hard to get enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people don\u2019t drink enough water, period,\u201d said Laura Stout, a registered dietitian nutritionist with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/uchealth-yampa-valley-medical-center\/\">UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center<\/a>. \u201cBut studies show a range of benefits from drinking water, such as more youthful skin, better GI function and possibly weight loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So grab a glass of your water of choice and check out Stout\u2019s recommendations below for staying hydrated.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Water at its source<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tap water is always a good option. It\u2019s regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act, which means it is treated and tested to ensure it\u2019s free from harmful substances. \u201cOur drinking water in Steamboat is really safe to drink,\u201d Stout said.<\/p>\n<p>Well water is also a good choice, as long as it is regularly tested for bacteria and other harmful substances.<\/p>\n<p>Filtered water can be the way to go for people who don\u2019t like the taste of chlorine or other chemicals. Install a water filtration system, use a filtering water pitcher or purchase filtered water at the store. Just be sure to brush your teeth with toothpaste containing fluoride, as the filtering process also removes the enamel-strengthening compound.<\/p>\n<p>Bottled water, however, is not Stout\u2019s favorite. \u201cA lot of times, you\u2019re paying extra for regular old tap water that\u2019s bottled,\u201d Stout said. \u201cAnd unsafe chemicals from the plastic can leach into the water.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Flavored waters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Naturally flavored waters have the added benefit of tasting good, which is a plus when it comes to hydration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people don\u2019t get the hydration they need unless they have a flavored water,\u201d Stout said.<\/p>\n<p>Always read food labels to make sure you\u2019re avoiding artificial sweeteners, flavors and added sodium.<\/p>\n<p>Adding fresh fruits or veggies to water is also popular. While some people attribute benefits such as better digestion and a more balanced pH to the fruit that\u2019s added to the water, Stout suggests otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s probably not so much that you\u2019re adding fruit or lemon, but that you\u2019re just drinking the water,\u201d Stout said. \u201cYou don\u2019t need all of these fancy added fruits, but if it helps you drink water, I think it\u2019s a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Carbonated waters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Stout supports drinking La Croix or other carbonated waters, especially if they help you meet your hydration quota. Just keep in mind that water is always the best option.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid club sodas, which have added salts. And be aware that carbonation in water is acidic which can erode the enamel on your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe carbonation can promote enamel erosion if you drink it in excess,\u201d Stout said. \u201cRinse your mouth with regular tap water after drinking a carbonated water and before brushing your teeth, so you don\u2019t hurt the enamel.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hydration basics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Drink a half to one ounce of water per pound of body weight every day. Aim for the higher amount if it\u2019s summer or you\u2019re exercising. And begin each day with a big glass of water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour body is really thirsty when you wake up,\u201d Stout said. \u201cIt\u2019s been doing a lot of detoxifying during the night, and it\u2019s nice to get that hydration started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since caffeine and alcohol dehydrate the body, they don\u2019t count towards your daily fluids quota. And when it comes to sweet drinks, Stout recommends finding a healthier replacement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many of us end up drinking empty calories,\u201d Stout said. \u201cBut really what our body needs is water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared in the March 5, 2018 edition of the Steamboat Pilot &amp; Today.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tap or bottled; flavored or plain; carbonated or filtered.
