Hydration Myths: What You Actually Need to Know About Sparkling Water 💦

Staying hydrated sounds simple. “Just drink 2 litres of water per day and you'll be set.” But we hear these sayings without often getting the hard facts. Do you really need to drink eight glasses of water a day? Is sparkling water as hydrating as tap water?

Choosing the right drink can make hydration feel easier and more enjoyable.

Let’s bust some of the most common hydration myths and help you drink smarter.

Myth #1: You Must Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day 💦

This is one of the biggest hydration myths.

While it's a helpful reminder, there’s no exact number that works for everyone. Your hydration needs depend on your body composition, lifestyle, activity levels, the weather, and even the foods you eat.

If you’re exercising regularly, spending time outdoors, or simply living a busy lifestyle, you may need more fluids throughout the day.

The benefits come from staying consistent and opting for drinks you look forward to drinking that do good on your body at the same time. 

Myth #2: Sparkling Water Isn’t as Hydrating as Tap Water 🫧

Short answer, wrong. A can of Skinny Fizz can hydrate you just as effectively as the water out of the tap.

Skinny Fizz is made with real NZ fruit without any added sugar (only from the fruit!).  A refreshingly real, healthy alternative to sugary soft drinks with ingredients lists filled with unpronounceables.

If you get to halfway through the day and find boring old water just isn’t cutting it, a can of Skinny Fizz will do the job.

Myth #3: You Only Need to Worry About Hydration in Hot Weather ☀️

Hydration isn’t seasonal, it matters all year round.

In winter, often people naturally drink less because they don’t feel thirsty. But your body still needs fluids for energy, digestion, focus, and overall wellbeing.

Whether it’s warm or cold, keeping hydrated should always be a priority.

That’s why having a refreshingly real sparkling water made locally with real fruit can make healthy habits easier to stick to year-round.

The Bottom Line

Hydration doesn’t need to be a fuss.

You just need two things - good habits and drinks you actually enjoy. Whether it’s tap or sparkling, consistency is what matters most.

Hydration should be enjoyable, and easy to manage. That’s what makes Skinny Fizz what it is. Made with real homegrown fruit, 100% local, and skinny on your body + the planet. The cans are pretty cool too!
