They say water does a body good!!!

I always understood that water was water...plain, unadulterated, pure water and that to flavour it, colour it, sweeten it or anything else was to detract from it's goodness. I drink pure rainwater but I absolutely cannot manage the 5 litres a day prescribed by my doctor. In the winter months, I 'm lucky if I drink 1 litre!

yes dear water is indeed very good for our body...and w must drink atleast 10 big glasses a day..it cleanses our body toxins and helps us in hydrating..i drink normal water and i cant gulp loads of it down but i keep taking sips in between..it makes me feel refreshed and if i have less water any day i end up having a headache..

Sweetie, i did a discussion about this a few months ago. Unless you have a medical need or you excersize to the point of sweating and depleting your bodies fluids what you drink in the normal course of the day is sufficient. If you are eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, and drinking other things as long as they are not caffeinated, (caffeine tends to dehydrate) you are probably getting as much fluids as you need. The one advantage to drinking plain water is that your body does not have to do anything with it as far as digestion. As we age our kidney functions slow down along with everything else, and you can actually over tax your kidneys by drinking to much water. Although your body needs water to get rid of excess water, you can do harm by drinking to much.

This might be bad but I don't really drink water. I drink coke, coffee, booze sometimes,juice, rarely gatorade. Ok it is bad but lecture me later. LOL

i drink strawberry kiwi propel.. and you can drink TOO much water which will make you light headed and can be dangerous.. figures right?? something they tell you you need to do to be healthy can still screw you up

I prefer the pandan flavor water. It's a 4" to 6" long green leaves boiled to 1 liter water. It is also good for body cleansing. This is good when you drink it cold. But sometimes when we don't have pandan leaves, I prefer to drink lemonade, our local 'calamansi.' I take it before each meal to lessen my food intake.

i also think water is good for health. i try to drink as much as i can do. but its not that i always end up drinking a lot of water. i believe it is needed. also i think its not a problem for me to drink water.

Hmm well I have always had a problem drinking a lot of water too bella but i don't really like to drink flavoured water either - I would rather drink some weak fruit cordial! Sorry sweety but I don't have a favourite flavour of flavoured water - I don't like any of them! xxx

I started drinking flavored water nearly 30 years ago! Through the years I would switch flavors so that I wouldn't get bored or to find something else to add the the supply. And the result?: When I lie on my back, I look just like a camel. Thanks Anheuser-Busch!

I drink my water with a twist of lemon.

I'm with you, I find it hard to guzzle down the 8 recommended daily glasses of water. My 10 year old daughter is the same way. At home I make Crystal Light (or generic equivalent). The only thing I don't like about Crystal Light and equivalents - are all the dyes. (Feed Kool-aid or Crystal Light to a toddler and you'll see what I mean when the diaper comes off - bright green doo-doo!) (of course my 10 year old thinks the dyes are fun cuz she can make her tongue blood red.) I've tried a few flavored waters, but find that they usually have a weird after-taste. I like New York Seltzer and the Sam's Choice (generic Walmart). I think Crystal Light is starting to come out with dye-free mixes - will have to check on that. I hope they do. That would be great!

wait i may have answered this , oh well lol . sorry . i like lemon water too with lots of ice.

During the summer I drink so much water it is crazy . I am always on the go , and active , and water really does help me . It helps when you wanna lose weight to by flushing out all that bad stuff, and it helps with bloat too , and it fills you up . Well , it feels me up , just hate how I am always in the bathroom when I drink way too much .

Hello bellaofchaos, I have been drinking tap water for over a year and my skin feels nice and soft, it cleanses out your body. Tamarafireheart

I drink seven glasses of water in the morning when I get up. After that I don't take anything for at least 45 minutes so that the water can circulate and purify my body. I have never heard of flavoured water. Even if there is such a think I don't think it can ever match the pure taste of ordinary water. I am 51 and robust and healthy. But unfortunately one of my office colleagues who is only 25 is today in hospital after an operation for kidney stones. I saw the stones which were black and like small crystals just half a centimetre. There were two of them. He admitted that he does not have a good intake of pure water. So flavoured or not all the best on your experience with water. Drink more and more.

When I was younger I hardly ever would drink water. But now I do drink water as much as I can. I like the orange flavored water. Yes water does the body good. It also gives you more energy.

I too am like you I hate water, I mean it is just tht wter, but I have come to realize tht our bodies are like the plants I have outside, if you dont' give them a drink once in a wild they die. Our bodies need water for us to survive, so I had to find some way that I could down it. I too drink the flavored water, but I don't buy it flavored, I buy a caseof wter at the first of the month and I add the flavoring packets that they sell at the store. I love the rasberry. I found that they are quite expensive at the local grocerys, but at the Dollar General if you have one in your area, they are the same exact thing and for one dollar, so I bought several different kinds, Ihave not tried the lemonaid yet but hear it is very good. I imagine the bottled flavored water is expensive. Now sometimes I even get a bottle out plain and drink it, I know it makes me feel better when I drink water than when I didn't.

When I was little, I also didn't like drinking water because it's no taste. I tended to drink soda water much more. Now most of the time I will drink water, although it's not delicious. But it's the healthiest drink anyway. And usually I use a big cup so that it will let myself to drink much more water:) Although my favorite drink is still soda water, but I try to drink it less. I love China

I've had to force myself to like water. I'd much prefer soda, iced tea, etc! But, when I start off with water first thing in the morning, I'm more likely to drink it throughout the day. But, it has to be very cold for me to like it! I can't stand flavored waters. I don't know why. They have to be sweetened for me to drink them, and by the time you do that I may as well have a soda!

I am also a "non-water" drinker. Water just always felt "wet" to me lol. I need flavor!! I use the crystal light lemonade powder packets in my water!
