SweetLeaf Stevia Announces Summer Campaign: Drink for Your Body
Gilbert, Ariz. (PRWEB) April 07, 2016 -- Many people are familiar with the simple and easy to remember 8 x 8 rule: drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day, which equates to 1.9 liters.1 However, according to the Institute of Medicine, that estimate is lower than it should be; they determined that the adequate intake for women is approximately 9 cups (2.2 liters) and 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages per day.2 Any of these daily water intake recommendations can seem daunting, even more so when one is not a fan of the taste of water. This is where SweetLeaf® Water Drops™ can help.
Water Drops easily add flavor to plain or sparkling water without adding sugars, calories, carbs, or artificial sweeteners. With just a squeeze of one of four fruit-flavored blends, boring water becomes a delicious beverage that makes meeting that daily water intake goal a breeze.
Water is vital for good health and proper body function. In the human body, water generates energy, moisturizes and lubricates skin and tissues, assists with digestion and metabolic functions, provides elasticity to muscles and joints, reduces water retention, hydrates brain cells, oxygenates blood and the lungs, and helps regulate body temperature. Water is a key component of the body and makes up 83% of a person’s blood, 75% of brain and muscle, and is even 22% of bones. The human body is made up of approximately 60% water and daily water loss occurs through basic functions, like breathing, digestion, and sweating, even more depending on activity level and location. But according to a CDC survey, only about 22% of adults are drinking 8 or more cups of water per day; and seven percent of those surveyed consume no water daily.3
“SweetLeaf is dedicated to supporting the changing and health-conscious lifestyles of Americans and their families by developing and bringing to market trustworthy sugar alternatives,” said Carol May, President of Wisdom Natural Brands®, maker of SweetLeaf® Stevia Sweetener. “Water Drops expands on our mission to make the world a sweeter place by offering a delicious water enhancer option that can encourage consumers to increase their daily water intake and help them achieve their goals for better health.”
When a person suffers from even mild dehydration, side effects like fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps can set in. Mood, attention span, and memory can also be adversely affected and impaired. Water maintains the body’s fluid balance and preserves its optimal function by keeping kidneys operating properly, raising energy levels, and helping with the body’s detoxification process. It can even help boost metabolism and make a person feel fuller, promoting weight maintenance or loss. Keeping hydrated can also make skin more luminous. Drinking water throughout the day can prevent dehydration and the negative symptoms that accompany it. This issue is also vital for children, who are often functioning at a mild level of dehydration.
Water Drops simply make hydration tastier. Gluten-free SweetLeaf Water Drops have won nearly 2 dozen awards for taste and innovation; the product is made with stevia leaf extract for a better-for-you product with no bitterness. SweetLeaf is a delicious, easy-to-use option that will not spike blood sugar levels for anyone seeking to eliminate or cut sugar from their diet. Water Drops can also be a helpful alternative for people embracing the recently released 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, by providing a tasty alternative to sugary sodas and juices and allowing for increased water intake.
