First, read the label. If it says “sodium” or “potassium” in the ingredients, you’re drinking a seltzer that can actually raise your blood pressure if you’re sensitive. Opt for “plain sparkling water” or “club soda” with no added minerals.
Second, make it a ritual. Pour it into a nice glass (glassware matters), add a wedge of cucumber or a sprig of rosemary. You’re not just drinking; you’re curating an experience.
Third, don’t drink it during an intense workout. The bubbles can cause uncomfortable burps mid-squat. Save it for post-gym or pre-dinner.
