"No body function is optimal if under-hydrated. Before supplements, before stimulants, before even the idea of energy, the body needs hydration to do almost everything well. That's where these refreshing, sugar-free and caffeine-free drinks come in. And the good news is they're all delicious, and could easily become your go-to sip instead of too many high-caffeine, high-sugar (or sugar-substitute) beverages."
"A lot of people don't like drinking water. Often plain water doesn't register as rewarding in the same way coffee, soda, or juice does. Over time, it's easy to fall into a pattern of sipping sugar or caffeine all day instead, both of which trigger reward centers in the brain, to the point of being habit-forming. That habit comes with tradeoffs."
Hydration underpins nearly every bodily function, and even mild under-hydration impairs performance. Drinking water before reaching for supplements, stimulants, or energy products can resolve many everyday slumps. Many people find plain water unappealing and instead sip sugary or caffeinated beverages that trigger brain reward pathways and foster habitual consumption. Liquid sugar causes rapid blood glucose spikes and crashes and contributes to dental erosion. Caffeine can persist for hours and disrupt sleep. Replacing those drinks with sugar-free, caffeine-free options makes it easier to meet hydration needs and maintain steadier energy and oral health.
