Drinking water is a vital aspect of maintaining a healthy physical and mental state. And without proper hydration, you could risk losing skin elasticity and developing dry skin and acne. Water from a filtered source ensures that you are hydrating efficiently, without consuming any harmful contaminants that remain in unfiltered tap water. 

A Brio water cooler provides you with fresh, cold filtered water that is free of any major contaminants or impurities. Brio coolers also dispense water with a significantly improved color, odor, and taste - the perfect glass of water.

Even with access to clean drinking water, it can still be difficult to get that daily recommended intake of water each day and keep your skin looking revitalized and fresh. 

 

Water supplements for hydration

Water supplements are a great solution to keep you strong on your hydration game and maintain a healthy skin glow. Some of these additives not only add flavor to enhance the taste of your water, but also provide you with an array of probiotics, nutritional supplements, and vitamins. 

Products like collagen and chlorophyll are filled with B vitamins, essential fatty acids, and fish oil to achieve healthy skin. The water will keep you hydrated, and the supplements will add a great boost to keep you energized throughout the entire day.

1. Collagen supplements

Collagen is a protein in your body mainly found in the connective tissues of your tendons, ligaments, skin, and muscles. As we age, collagen production gets low, leading to the lack of dexterity in your skin, causing you to get dry and wrinkly fine lines on your face. 

You may also experience a lot of joint pain and sore muscles as you get older as a result of collagen reduction. Collagen supplements are commonly sold in a powder form that easily dissolves into your drinking water. 

Benefits of collagen

• Can revive skin and bring back a natural glow
• Can slow the aging process
• Helps strengthen muscles and cartilage which in turn can improve bone strength 
• Reduces joint pain and bone loss
• Stops development of joint disorders and skin conditions such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis 
• Can improve mood and anxiety levels

 

There are plenty of flavored and unflavored collagen supplements, making them an ideal option to take with plain, filtered water or to add into some coffee or green tea!

2. Chlorophyll supplements 

Chlorophyll is the natural compound present inside of plants that gives them their distinguished green color. It helps plants absorb energy from the sun as they photosynthesize. Whilst studies into the health benefits of chlorophyll on the human body are ongoing, chlorophyll supplements are usually filled with vitamins, antioxidants, and other energizing elements. 

You can add chlorophyll to your filtered water in either liquid or tablet form. The liquid form is tasteless, so you’ll get all the benefits of chlorophyll without having to dread the taste. Insead, your water will transform into a vibrant emerald green color! 

Benefits of chlorophyll:

• Reduces inflammation in skin, irritation and growth of bacteria in surface skin wounds
• Can improve facial acne and when taken with water, can replenish dry skin damaged by acne scars
• Can aid weight loss, by stimulating your immune system which can help increase metabolism rates.
• Can help reduce harmful cholesterol levels, eliminate fungus growth, and clean out intestines
• Can contribute to reducing the occurrence of cancer tumors

 

3. Vitamin Supplements

Vitamins and minerals can be found in the foods we eat, the environment, and in nutritional supplements to add to our water. Vitamins revitalize bones, heal wounds, and strengthen our immune systems. Sometimes it can be difficult to naturally consume all of the necessary vitamins to stay healthy. So adding them to our water in the form of supplements, is an effective way to acquire all the vitamins we need.

Vitamin supplements are small tablets that dissolve in water and are filled with several probiotics and vitamins A, C, D, and E. Many tablets are packed with electrolytes - salts such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. These salts help regulate blood pressure and muscle fatigue. When you exert a lot of energy, these critical electrolytes are lost and you may experience dehydration, headaches, and dizziness.

The hydrating elements in some brands of vitamin supplement water tablets include combinations of elderberry, echinacea, and zinc to defend immune health. Salts like potassium, sodium, and magnesium restore levels of energy in your body and support muscle relaxation.

Look out for vitamins with zero artificial flavorings and sweeteners, and keto-friendly products so you can enjoy a low-calorie alternative with no extra fatty acids. 

 

4. Apple Cider Vinegar

Whilst popular to use in cooking and cleaning, apple cider vinegar can be used as a supplement in your drinking water. Apple cider vinegar contains an acetic acid with many beneficial properties to your dry skin cells and internal organs.

Many people may be put off ingesting apple cider vinegar because it can have such a strong odor. However, apple cider vinegar also comes in powders and even flavored juices to add to your water for a more pleasant experience.

Benefits of apple cider vinegar 

• Improving irregularities with digestion and immune system
• Neutralizes stomach acid
• Helps fight off harmful bacteria without eliminating healthy bacteria
• Maintains blood sugar levels which caters to the healthy development of hair and skin
• Paired with water, it balance’s skin’s pH and provides an exfoliation effect

5. Remineralize your water with calcium, potassium and magnesium

Don’t forget that you can use one of Brio’s alkaline water filters to remineralize your RO water. Restoring beneficial levels of calcium, magnesium and potassium will help your body stay healthy. 

Alkaline minerals aid with bloating, maintain ideal pH balance, and lower toxic build-up for clearer, glowing skin hydration and higher energy levels.

 

Filtered water is the best water

A lot of experts say that many people do not drink the recommended amount of fluids daily. And if your main source of fluids are sugary sodas, coffee, or energy drinks, you won’t be hydrating sufficiently. 

Proper hydration is crucial to eliminate dead skin cells and to achieve overall skin health. It is extremely important to drink plenty of water, while ensuring that the water you are consuming is free of dirty contaminants.

You know what you’re putting into your body with filtered water. No harmful or dangerous contaminants or substances. Peace of mind.
