Or just don't have pure water. Drink tea/coffee/soda/juice/eat more fruit/veg. I can't remember the last time i drank pure water, on it's own! No need to!0

if there's no nutritional value in this Mio water, does that mean all ingredients are weird chemicals we can't pronounce?0

No idea what is really in MIO. Id suggest organic lemon or lime juice..start the morning with warm cup of water and some lemon or lime juice. Gets the digestion system fired up early or just add some to bottle water. Nothing in the organic jucie other than potassium.0

Tobbs thats a great ? the ingredients are water, malic acid,propylene glycol,citric acid, natural falvor, potassium. I really dont know what they are so im goin to look it up thanx for making me think !!!!!!!:huh:0

Add frozen fruits to the water instead of ice cubes. Flavored water, and a tasty treat at the end of the glass!0

Just fair warning. I loved MIO when I first tried it and it started giving me MASSIVE headaches. I can't drink more that one or two squirts of it a day without being incapacitated for 24 hours. If you search the forums here or some reviews, you will see alot of people have similar issues with it.0

Mio: Another Word for Chemicals. Sweetened with Sucralose. Contains Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Blue 1, Malic Acid, and Propylene Glycol. All artificial colors and sweeteners. Very bad for you health, would not drink0

I really like Mio too. I used to drink a lot of Diet Coke, and I hardly drink it at all anymore. I know Mio is full of chemicals, but I still figure it's better than soda. That's just me, though.0

I actually have a bottle of MiO right here. I do like the fruit punch!
For those interested, here are the ingredients: water, malic acid, propylene glycol, citric acid, contains less than 2% of natural flavor, sucralose and acesulfame potassium, potassium citrate, red 40, potassium sorbate0 -

Most doctors say that as long as you are getting fluid, it counts (milk, juice, coffee, tea, etc.). I personally think soda is not the best idea because it has so much sodium in it. I'd rather have my sodium on my food! I'd also rather EAT my calories, not drink them! I use a lot of decaffeinated herbal tea; they have lots of unique flavors. I'm using a red vanilla tea today. It's good hot or cold.
Edited to add: I'm using Rooibos tea, and it has been shown to have good antioxidants and such.0 -
Smart water has electrolytes in it. That helps post work out or just in general to replace the electrolytes losts through sweat during the day.0

Because coffee is a diuretic, it dehydrates. Soda is too, because of carbonation and sodium. Plus soda and fruit juice are generally too sugary to really be that healthy (in large quantities). Someone who drinks 8 cups of soda, fruit juice or coffee a day will not be adequately hydrated as a person who drinks 8 cups of water.0 -

No it's not. There's no reason to drink just plain water, as opposed to anything else you can drink, other than a caloric reason. Tea, coffee, soda, juice, beer, wine, all hydrate you just like water does. You actually get more water from the food you eat than you drink. What exactly is bad about the advice?0 -

Actually HM's advice is fine although I wouldn't advise drinking coke's and stuff.
The reason why I always say to drink plenty of water is because if I just said fluids, then people would end up drinking their calories away and possibly going over their intake.
It's fine as long as you are getting PLENTY of fluids throughout the day so you release water retention.0 -

False. In order for caffeine (the supposed ingredient that makes coffee dehydrate) to have an effect on hydration you'd need to drink the equivalent of 10 cups worth in a single serving. Coffee has about 100 mg of caffeine in it, in order to have any appreciable diuretic effect, you'd need to consume more than 1,000 mg's at a time, and the amount of water in coffee more than offsets that. There hasn't been a single study that can prove that regular coffee and soda consumption has any kind of dehydrating effect on people.0 -
