The big question is whether or not sparkling water is good for you. The answer to that is yes, and there are many advantages to drinking it. It's a healthier option than soda. Lovers of sodas like Coca-Cola can enjoy the bubbles of sparkling water. But unlike sweet sodas, sparkling water doesn't contain sugar, which makes it a good alternative.
Sparkling water is also as good as normal water when a person is thirsty. Many people do not drink enough water each day, but one study showed that people who drink more sparkling water at home also drink more regular' water. As such, sparkling water may help prevent people froms getting dehydrated". Sparkling water can also help make an upset stomach'feel better.
Sparkling water brands like Perrier and Schweppes can now be found around the world. Among all countries, Germans love this bubbly water the most. In fact, 78% of all the bottled water people consume in Germany is sparkling water. The average German drinks roughly 138 liters of it each year. This is much higher than that consumed by Americans, who drink less than five liters per year.

重點是,氣泡水是否對你有好處。這個問題的答案是肯定的,而飲用氣泡水有許多好處。它是比汽水更健康的選擇。喜歡像可口可樂這種汽水的人可以享受氣泡水帶來的泡泡。但不像甜甜的汽水,氣泡水並不含糖,因此是不錯的另一種選擇。
當一個人口渴時,氣泡水也和一般水一樣好。許多人每天喝的水量不足,但一個研究指出,在家喝愈多氣泡水的人也會喝更多的一般水。正因如此,氣泡水可能有助於防止人們脫水。泡水也有助於舒緩胃痛。
諸如沛綠雅及舒味思的氣泡水品牌可以在世界各地看到。在所有國家之中,德國人最愛這種充滿的水。事實上,德國人飲用的所有瓶裝水中有78氣泡水。一般德國人每年喝約一百三十八公升的氣泡水。這比美國人喝的還要多上許多,美國人每年飲用的氣泡水不到五公升。
