Staying hydrated is a good idea all year round, but as temperatures rise in the summer, it’s important to drink enough fluids to combat the heat.  Many people don’t enjoy sticking with plain water, but if they turn to other beverages like soda, they may not be getting the benefits of hydration and actually what they drink could have the opposite effect.

It’s true that all beverages contain some water, but practically speaking, caffeinated, sweetened and alcoholic drinks pack chemical cargoes (or trigger chemical reactions) that demand significant amounts of fluid to properly process and filter. Chief among these are sugar and caffeine, so as your body works to move these substances through your body, your body’s actual stores of fluids may be reduced. According to an article on the care2.com website, this has led some experts to believe that non-water beverages actually dehydrate the body.

In another article on diabeteslibrary.org, the website reports that “the body will attempt to dilute the high level of glucose in the blood by drawing water out of the cells and into the bloodstream in an effort to dilute the sugar and excrete it in the urine.” This dynamic can be compounded by the levels of caffeine in soda, which can have an additional diuretic effect.

Syfo Beverages Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters contain no sugar, caffeine, artificial sweeteners or any other additives, so they’re just pure hydrating refreshment. And since they’re made using 100% purified water with all-natural flavors, they’re a healthy way to stay hydrated throughout this hot summer and all year long.
