Sparkling water, also known as carbonated water, has long been a matter of debate. While some avoid it because they believe it “bloats” or “makes you fat,” others enjoy it as a healthy and refreshing alternative to sugary drinks. But what are its effects on the body? In this article we review the main benefits of sparkling water, debunk some common myths, and explain in which cases its consumption might not be recommended.
Is sparkling water fattening?
This is one of the most widespread myths. The answer is clear: no, sparkling water does not contain calories or sugars, therefore it does not make you fat. It has the same energy intake as still water. However, some people may experience a feeling of abdominal bloating, especially if they suffer from digestive problems or during pregnancy, where constipation can intensify.
