If there is one thing everyone can agree on it is that water is all important to our health and good looks.\u00a0 Sure, sometimes you feel like something a little more exciting than a glass of straight up h20.\u00a0 But it can be difficult to avoid sugar and sugar-substitutes in flavored waters, ingredients you definitely do not need to add to your health plan.\u00a0 Fortunately, there are two great (and healthy) alternatives for flavored water lovers.\u00a0 First, let\u2019s take a look at Herbal Water<\/a>.\u00a0 These refreshing beverages are made by infusing organic herbs in pure water.\u00a0 They use absolutely no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, additives of any kind or calories.\u00a0 Herbal Waters were created by Dr. Ayala<\/a>, a trained pediatrician with a love of gardening and healthy living, as an alternative to sugar-laden and artificially flavored beverages.\u00a0 Hopefully, tempting finicky children (and some adults) into drinking more water.<\/p>\n We personally tested the full range of Herbal Waters at our house, including; Lemongrass Mint Vanilla, Lavender Mint, Ginger Lemon Peel, Cinnamon Orange Peel, Cloves Cardamom Cinnamon and Lemon Verbena Geranium.\u00a0 The label states that the waters are best served cold and I would definitely agree.\u00a0 My kids were especially fond of \u201cthe ones that taste like candy\u201d (not sure if that is a good thing, but they were drinking water) which were the Cinnamon Orange Peel and the Cloves Cardamom Cinnamon.\u00a0 My top choice would have to be Ginger Lemon Peel for its fresh, crispness.\u00a0 But I must admit, the more flowery types I could not do.\u00a0 This is probably due to the fact that I test (and smell) lots and lots of beauty products made with lavender and geranium and, though I love them on my skin, can not drink them.\u00a0 My sister, on the other hand, loved those two in particular and wants them to \u201cbe a part of her daily life\u201d.\u00a0 The bottom line:\u00a0 Herbal Waters are pure, fresh \u2013 and very herbal.\u00a0 A case of 12 is $24<\/a>.<\/p>\n Next up \u2013 Twist<\/a> juice flavored water beverages.\u00a0\u00a0 These drinks are also free from preservatives and artificial sweeteners, but do have calories \u2013 a whole 9 per serving.\u00a0 Twist organic flavored waters come in six flavors; Mandarin White Tea, Pomegranate Blueberry, West Indies Lime,\u00a0Lemon, Wild Strawberry\u00a0and Mango Acai.\u00a0 We truly loved them all, but if pressed to choose a favorite would probably pick Mango Acai to pal around with (I\u2019m a tropical kinda gal) but the Wild Strawberry is mouth-watering too.\u00a0 The bottom line:\u00a0 a healthy beverage that is still basic enough to please the whole family.\u00a0 Available at stores nationwide<\/a> for $1.29-$1.49 (19 oz).<\/p>\n It is refreshing to have a healthy drink choice on hand that isn\u2019t plain water and the kids jumped at the chance to try out each one.\u00a0 And I found that a flavored water that isn\u2019t carbonated is also a pleasant switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If there is one thing everyone can agree on it is that water is all important to our health and good looks.\u00a0 Sure, sometimes you feel like something a little more exciting than a glass of straight up h20.\u00a0 But it can be difficult to avoid sugar and sugar-substitutes in flavored waters, ingredients you definitely […] More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[15],"tags":[4394,4395,16,26,4396,3706],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/twistwater.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2945"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
