Bubbly or still – which quenches your thirst? If you love the fizz of carbonated (sparkling) water and wonder if it affects your health or weight loss journey, you’re not alone! At Performance Pain and Sports Medicine, we’re committed to separating the facts from fiction so you can make the best choices for your wellness.
✨ **Did You Know?**
- Sparkling water is just water infused with carbon dioxide, creating that satisfying pop. It’s calorie-free and hydrating—making it a smart swap for sugary sodas if you’re managing your weight.
- Concerned about acidity or dental health? Sparkling water is mildly acidic, but research shows it's much less risky for teeth than sugary drinks. Rinsing with plain water after your bubbles helps protect your smile.
- Digestive perks: Studies suggest carbonated water might help with swallowing and even support appetite control by increasing feelings of fullness—a useful tool for healthy weight management!
- No need to worry about your bones or heart. Science shows carbonated water doesn’t weaken bones, and there may be some heart and circulation benefits (though more research is needed).
💡 **Bottom line:** Enjoying carbonated water can be part of a healthy lifestyle—and a refreshing way to stay hydrated as you work toward your wellness and weight goals.
