Charlie’s Organics (sparkling waters with a squeeze of fruit)
Charlie’s Organics is a Dutch brand of sparkling water, in cans with a squeeze of fruit. These drinks are natural and hydrating, and super-tasty. Ask your local shop to stock this super brand, as an alternative to sugary sodas or cans made with yucky-tasting artificial sweeteners.
You don’t have to crush cans, but always pop ring-pulls back over cans before recycling, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.
There are six delicious flavours:
- Blackcurrant
- Raspberry Lime
- Lemon
- Grapefruit (check medication)
- Orange-Mandarin
- Passionfruit
Why Choose Charlie’s Organics?
Most sodas on sale are made with refined sugar (often blended with artificial sweetener, to get more profits due to the upcoming sugar tax). They are not just bad for your health and teeth, but give a ‘quick hit’ followed by a ‘quick crash’.
These sodas are only made with sparkling water (hydrating and with no calories) plus a squeeze of real healthy fruits, to give a nice refreshing taste.
The brand also packs the drinks in easy-to-recycle cans, so they are zero waste too (no plastic bottles to litter the streets).
Many people in England are chronically dehydrated, because tea, coffee, cola and sugary sodas are not as good as plain water. Obviously you could drink plain water. But if you prefer a can of soda, something like this is a far better choice than big soda brands (that also are not owned by independent companies, like this one).
Getting enough proper ‘water’ into your system has many benefits. Staying hydrated is good for your heart, helps to flush out impurities, and also is good for your brain, mental focus and sleep.
It’s a mystery why our supermarkets, newsagents and petrol stations tend to mostly offer plastic bottles of unhealthy sugary or artificially-sweetened sodas. Switching to offerings like this, would likely help better public health, and also help to reduce NHS costs (and littering).
