Are you drinking enough water? Seventy-five percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated. In addition, drinking water every day has many health benefits beyond just keeping you hydrated. According to the CDC, water helps your body keep a normal temperature, lubricate and cushion joints, protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues and get rid of wastes.
The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is about 15.5 cups a day for men and 11.5 cups a day for women. With some of that coming from food, 8 cups is the generally recommended amount of water we should drink daily. This amount may vary by person depending on if they are in a hot climate, more physically active or not feeling well.
So why are so many people not drinking enough water? It could be that they are too busy, or believe they are getting enough. Other reasons are they just don’t like the taste of water, think it is boring or would rather drink soda, juice or other beverages that may be loaded with processed sugar.
SweetLeaf®, the experts in all-natural and zero-calorie sweeteners, has developed zero sugar squeezable SweetLeaf Water Drops® water enhancers that can easily be added to water to give it a delicious, refreshing taste without any artificial dyes and sweeteners. They are available in six fruit flavors: Strawberry Kiwi, Peach Mango, Raspberry Lemonade, Mixed Berry and Lemon Lime.
Sweet Leaf Water Drops provide a non-glycemic response for diabetic, keto- and sugar-sensitive populations. They are convenient to take anywhere and help you drink more water without the added sugar. They are great for children and adults of all ages.

SweetLeaf is a family-owned company that has been around for over 40 years. Jim May, the founder of SweetLeaf, knew there was a better, healthier option to sugar, and he found it first with stevia. The stevia leaf’s natural sweetness had the potential to naturally replace sugar without calories, glycemic response, and adverse health effects.
SweetLeaf’s mission is helping people find natural and healthy ways to sweeten up their favorite beverages and foods without sacrificing taste. All products are all-natural, low/zero-sugar, low/zero-calorie, non-glycemic, diabetes- and keto-friendly, vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO.
