Denver Chooses Bottled Water Again

bottled water in denver officesBottled water keeps its spot at the top of the leader board. According to Jill Culora, IBWAs vice president of communications, “for a third year in a row, bottled water is the No. 1 packaged beverage in the United States.” It’s also the most preferred non-alcoholic beverage in 2019 with 72 percent – nine percent more than last year – of Americans choosing it. When Denver individuals think about choosing a brand or type of bottled water to enjoy, the first thing they consider is taste followed by quality and safety.

Importance of Water

The average adult human body is made of approximately 60 percent water. Parts of the body that contain the highest levels of water are the brain, heart, lungs, muscles, and skin as well as bone, which is made of 30 percent water. Bodily functions and systems are also impacted by the amount of water in the body. Water helps regulate body temperature, transport nutrients, flush waste, form saliva, and lubricate joints and create a protective shock absorber to keep vital organs safe.

While each Denver individual’s water needs vary based on their activity level, age, and local climate, without water, the chance of survival is very small. It makes sense that 84 percent of individuals are trying to drink more water. Now that it’s almost summer, and the warmer months are here, let’s consider several water-based beverages that will help everyone stay hydrated.

  • lemonade: water, lemon juice, and a sweetener, to taste
  • iced tea: water, tea, and a sweetener, if desired
  • fruit/veggie/herb-infused water: water plus any combination such as strawberry & lime, lemon & basil, strawberry & basil, lemon & raspberry, and cherry & lime

The number of flavor combinations and preparation methods are limitless, but not everyone will have the option or want to prepare a water-based beverage.

Other Options

If that’s the case, it’s important to remember to keep other types of beverages available for your Denver employees. Sixty-one percent of those polled ranked coffee in second place and soft drinks in third with 59 percent. Healthier options that can be found in today’s break rooms often include natural and organic sodas, carbonated juices, and a variety of coffee-based beverages.
