Most people want to eat healthy but admit they have a difficult time trying to figure out how to regularly and consistently prepare healthy food. Eating (and drinking) healthy does not have to be complicated or even time consuming.
Soft drinks are loaded with high fructose corn syrup and empty calories. Worse yet, diet soda is loaded with artificial sweeteners and provides no nutrients for the body. Sparkling mineral water, such as San Pellegino or Perrier, is an all-natural healthy alternative. It provides hydration the body needs with zero sugar, zero calories, zero artificial ingredients, zero fat, and zero carbohydrates. Sparkling mineral water also provides bubbly carbonation making it a great substitute to soda.
Sparkling mineral water is relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at many locations around the Twin Cities. Target sells one liter bottles of San Pellegrino for $1.79 and Perrier for $1.52. Whole Foods Market makes their own brand which costs $5.99 for a six pack of one liter bottles.
Try some of these additional tips:
• Add lemon, lime, orange, kiwi, peach, or berries to add flavor
• Feeling fancy – drink mineral water using a wine glass
• Purchase small bottles to take with you to a BYOB event
• Drink in place of alcohol and save yourself that morning hangover!
Cheers!
