    As an athlete it is especially important to stay hydrated. Over 90% of the fluids my son and I drink is pure water! I never consume alcohol or sodas, but if you do remember for every ounce you drink drink at least two in water!!!

    This is how I always chose to drink. It just makes sense!

    I personally drink alot of water and prefer it over anything else when I am thirsty. It is good for your skin and helping to flush out toxins in your body and also helps to lose weight.

    I love the idea of drinking water, but I’m not a fan of how it tastes. I have tried many different things to try to make water taste better, but I can’t seem to find anything… Do you have any suggestions?

    I keep water with me at all times. I’m not a fan of soda, but love seltzer water. Maybe someone trying to eliminate soda could enjoy a seltzer.

    I have always been more prone to drinking water. My challenge has always been to get my children interested in drinking more water (slowly but surely making progress).

    I like to make herbal or decaffienated tea to stay hydrated—tea usually has zero calories and it is a healthy way to flavor water.

    since I started taking in more water, I have notice a huge improvement in my skin. If water can make that much of a difference on the outside, I can’t even imagine how much difference it makes on the inside. Not to mention how much better I feel NOT drinking soda!

    Since giving up caffeine, artificial sweetener and corn syrup I don’t buy sodas anymore. I’ll make sun tea this summer but I almost exclusively drink water now. better for the budget and better for me.
