3 Simple Tips to Help You Drink More Water Everyday

by Cascade Ice on November 4, 2019

We all know that we should be getting adequate hydration each day. After all, it helps with everything from digestion to regulating your mood and brain function. But sometimes our busy lives prevent us from keeping up with healthy habits. Here are some easy hacks to help you stay hydrated 24/7:

Sync hydration patterns to your daily routine

If you’re like most people, you have trouble remembering to drink enough water throughout the day. Any easy way to fix that is to develop a habit of drinking when you go from one activity to the next. For example, before you leave your car to go into the office each morning, finish your water bottle. Or, don’t leave for lunch without taking some sips at your desk. After a while, you won’t even think about it!

Sip, don’t chug

Gulping down a big bottle of water in one sitting definitely helps you meet your daily hydration goals faster, but it may cause bloat and upset stomach. Instead, take small sips all day long – it may actually help you absorb the water better and keep you from that “sloshy stomach” feeling.

Make it fun!

Let’s face it, water can get boring. So liven it up a bit by adding lemon, lime or cucumber slices, or even orange wedges. Muddling the fruit brings out the flavor even more. Flavored sparkling water like Cascade Ice is also a great option for changing things up by adding a bubbly kick of flavor to your daily water intake. There are several different product lines and flavors, so check out our website for more information.

What Makes Sparkling Water so Fizzy?

by Cascade Ice on October 14, 2019

“Sparkling Water.” We’ve heard the name so many times, especially now that sparkling waters are rising in popularity, and often considered a great alternative to sugary soda. But what exactly gives sparkling water those bubbles that tickle your tongue? 

Sparkling water, also known as carbonated water, is water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure during the manufacturing process. Carbon dioxide on its own does not contain color or flavor, it just adds that bubbly fun sensation we crave to quench our thirst. 

Interestingly, a carbonated drink may even enhance digestion by improving swallowing ability and reducing constipation.

For best results, drink your Cascade Ice cold and keep the bottle (or can) sealed tight until you’re ready to drink it, the bubblier your drink will be! 

Cascade Ice Waters are healthier hydration options that provide fewer calories than soda, so it’s no wonder that more people are reaching for the latest flavors to satisfy their carbonated drink cravings.
