Sparkling Water Still Healthy as Ever

April 30, 2024

Every so often Web discussions and articles appear on the health benefits and effects of sparkling water. And the results are always the same, sparkling water is as healthy as ever! One of the latest trending topics is effect of sparkling water on digestive health. According to this article on Healthline.com, sparkling water has many digestive health benefits:

Improves swallowing ability

Studies suggest that sparkling water may improve swallowing ability. In one study, 16 healthy people were asked to repeatedly swallow different liquids. Carbonated water showed the strongest ability to stimulate the nerves responsible for swallowing.

Can make you feel fuller

Carbonated water can make you feel fuller after meals when compared with plain water and help you lose weight (read our customer testimonials of weight loss). According to HealthLine, in a controlled study in 19 healthy young women, fullness scores were higher after the participants drank 8 ounces of sparkling water, compared to when they drank still water.

May help relieve constipation

People who experience constipation may find that drinking sparkling water helps relieve their symptoms. In a two-week study in 40 older individuals who had experienced a stroke, average bowel movement frequency nearly doubled in the group that drank carbonated water, compared with the group that drank tap water. What’s more, participants reported a 58% decrease in constipation symptoms.

Helps to relieve stomach pain

There’s also evidence that sparkling water may improve other symptoms of indigestion, including stomach pain. The Healthline.com article references a controlled study that examined 21 people with chronic digestive issues. After 15 days, those who drank carbonated water experienced significant improvements in digestive symptoms, constipation, and gallbladder emptying.

So there you have it. There is one other issue that has been the subject of online discussions of late, and that is whether carbonated water can aggravate IBS (Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome). HealthLine says that sparkling water doesn’t cause IBS, but if you have IBS and are sensitive to carbonated beverages, it may be best to remove them from your diet.
