We all know the importance of good ol’ H20! It’s vital for whole-body health, great for your skin, keeps you hydrated on hot summer days, the list goes on. Drinking water may not be the most exciting of beverages to drink, which can sometimes make it tough to stay hydrated. We’ve all grown up following — or at least trying to follow — the eight-by-eight rule, which says we should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. But, what happens if you have an aversion to water? While we do not suggest getting rid of water completely there are other alternatives that can provide much-needed hydration for those with particular tastes.

4 Delicious Alternatives to Water

1. Coconut Water – Not to be confused with water flavoured by coconuts. Nope, this is the real deal! Coconut water comes directly from the coconut and is packed full of electrolyres and potassium.
2. Fruit Infused Water – The base of this will be water BUT with the addition of your favourite fruit, you can expect a punch of flavour in every sip.
3. Seltzer – Seltzer is another great alternative to so-called plain water as it has a bit of a kick to it thanks to the carbon dioxide, which gives it its carbonation. Seltzer can come in many flavors with brands offering a variety of options. We suggest going the seltzer route if you’re looking for a no-calorie, no-sugar alternative to soda that provides hydration.
4. Cucumber Juice – Cucumbers are known to contain 90% water and are one of the most hydrating vegetables. Vegetable juices are better for hydration than fruit juices because the natural sugars present in fruits may inhibit hydration. Moreover, fruit juices tend to have a concentrated form of sugar. However, if you’re fond of fruit juices, orange juice can be a good option as it contains lots of electrolytes.

If you don’t love drinking water there is no need to fret, there are plenty of alternatives to hydrate or spruce up your existing glass. Keeping hydrated is crucial for health and well-being, and many people do not consume enough fluids each day. We guarantee that keeping hydrated will do wonders for your health! Give it a try.
