Building Great Body Shape

Soda Water is a great, refreshing drink for health and fitness, because it is always free of carbohydrates and sugars.

Soda water, or carbonated water, is plain water to which carbon dioxide gas has been added; it is also called sparkling water by many people. It is the principal ingredient of most “soft drinks.”. The product of carbonation is carbonic acid — familiar to us a soda pop.

By using a seltzer bottle filled with water and then “charged” with carbon dioxide, soda water (also called club soda) can be produced right at home. Club soda can be the same as plain carbonated water; however, small amounts of table salts and/or sodium trace minerals might be present. These additives make the taste of home made soda water slightly salty. This process, occuring naturally in some areas, produces carbonated mineral water.

A little dental decay may sometimes be caused by sparkling mineral water. The potential problem of sparkling water is slightly greater than “still” water, but the problem remains low. Tooth decay occurs at a much higher rate for users of regular soft drinks versus users of sparkling water. The rate is so low that one wonders if carbonated drinks may be little or no factor in causing dental decay.

Ground waters, usually from artesian wells, often absorb carbon dioxide gases while filtering through layers of ground minerals containing various forms of carbonates. Natural sparkling water is the result. If the water also picks up enough different minerals to add a flavor to the water it becomes sparkling mineral water.

In its basic construction, soda water is just water and carbon dioxide. Carbonation produces naturally-occuring substances, such as sparkling mineral water. In the year 1794, a jeweler invented a different kind of device — one to produce artificial carbonated mineral water.

In a taste test of several carbonate drinks, it was found that Perrier, a sparkling natural mineral water, kept its fizz the longest.

The gentle fizz of club soda may be a welcome alternative for consumers who feel seltzer to be a bit harsh. As part of the tasting test, it was found that club soda seemed to be milder and a little sweeter tasting than standard carbonate water.

Club soda, sparkling mineral water, seltzer, and carbonated water have zero calories, making them a dieter’s choice over soda pop and tonic water.

Tonic water is a type of carbonated drink that contains water, sugar, carbon dioxide and quinine. Originally, quinine was used as an additive to tonic water to help cure or prevent malaria. Today it is commonly mixed with gin and lemon or lime for an alcoholic drink.

These are a few of the simple facts that help us understand soda water.
