South of the border, there’s a consumer group causing a commotion over the VitaminWater’s health claims.
And in answer to the question above, no, you should be getting your vitamins through a balanced diet–but you already know that, my Health & Swellness readers, right?
Sure, I drink VitaminWater from time to time. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a big water drinker (still working on picking up that habit again), but VitaminWater is flavourful enough to satisfy me. From the many dietitians I’ve interviewed and past articles I’ve written, I know this drink is providing me with vitamins I am probably not deficient in–along with extra calories that plain old water wouldn’t. But I don’t guzzle it regularly as my source of vitamins (I’m making veggie-filled meals for that), and the occasional one I do have is fewer calories than a soft drink I might otherwise drink.

Well, this research finding just seems like a cruel joke, especially coming out just a few weeks into the new year when hordes of us have made a resolution to exercise more (making working out top of mind):
Just thinking about exercise may lead you to eat 50 percent more, according to researchers at Cornell University.
Uh oh. You may soon notice way fewer posts on Health & Swellness about fitness…
