Q&A for How to Love the Taste of Water

Yes. Try oranges, limes, grapefruits, grapes (cut in half), watermelon, melon, etc. You can try berries like strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, etc. You can even try vegetables, like cucumber! Try different mixes to find your favorite!

This depends how the water is flavored. If it is done with a squeeze of lemon juice or a few drops from a stevia-based water flavoring, then that should be fine. Be careful about commercially flavored waters though, as they tend to contain added sugar, sodium and artificial flavorings, which aren't necessarily healthy for you. Read the labels carefully.

You can drink tap water, but you should filter it first. Most tap water contains traces of harmful chemicals that can accumulate in your body over time, so it is best to use a filter before drinking it. And dehydration can make you feel fatigued, yes.

Try filtering the tap water; it will get rid of the minerals/chemicals that make it taste funny. You can also chill the water instead. Lastly, you can also add some flavor to it, like some sliced cucumber or a squeeze of lemon juice.

You can purchase water quality testing kits at a local store or online.

Yes, water fills you up just like anything else does.

Yes, water helps to hydrate the skin and flush toxins from your body, helping your skin and giving you a clearer complexion.

It depends whether or not you replace it with normal water. If you drink it all the time, you can get bad kidney damage or a massive toxin buildup. A once-in-a while drink is not bad, but don't over drink it.

You can warm it a little and then add a squeeze of lemon. You could also add cucumber because it is anti-inflammatory. Mint aids digestion and you may like it better because it adds sweetness. I highly suggest aloe water with lime, it is very good tasting and has many benefits.

Drink it slowly and add cut fruit to it.

A teen should drink as much as he/she feels like they need. Again, 8 cups will not harm teens and is the correct approximate amount.
