From protein boost to younger looking skin – we test three waters with health benefits
WE all know keeping hydrated is even more important when the sun is shining. Getting enough liquid in your body means fewer headaches, more energy, lubricated joints, organ function and much, much more. 4 To get your two litres of water a day you just need to turn on the tap. But there are now waters with health benefits. Today I've put some to the test to see if they are worth the cost . . . Alkaline water 4 ACTIPH Water from Shropshire undergoes a unique process of purification before having electrolytes magnesium sulphate, sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate added to it. You are left with an alkaline water with a PH of 9+ compared to your average water, which is about 7. Some studies suggest higher PH might help with hydration, acid reflux and bone health. This water has a smooth, clean taste. My favourite of the three. I loved the 600ml bottle size, which is great to carry about. £1.40 for 600ml, Tesco. Is Bathroom Tap Water Safe to Drink? Protein water IN each 500ml bottle of Warrior Protein Water there is 10g of protein as well as essential vitamins, with zero sugar and only 48 calories. It comes in two flavours, tropical and berry, and is a clever way to boost your protein intake if you don't want to eat any actual food – plus you are obviously hydrating at the same time. But this stuff is sweet. I tried the tropical flavour, which reminded me of Lilt. Although it doesn't contain sugar, it does contain plenty of sweetener. So unless you've got a sweet tooth, this is not for you. I thought the lid was great, unlike some other bottles where they can flick open. I had this one in my sports bag and it didn't spill. From £1.67 for a 500ml bottle, Spar stores or Collagen water TIDE has just launched a sparkling raspberry collagen water that can help support glowing skin, strong hair and healthier nails. It is a premium collagen formula with 3.5g of high-quality, hydrolysed collagen peptides sourced from wild-caught North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean fish. When you drink marine collagen, studies have shown it can hydrate and firm skin, reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and enhance the overall structure and appearance of skin. There are zero artificial sweeteners or additives but this one is very sweet thanks to the addition of fructose, a natural sugar that is found in fruit, vegetables and honey. It comes in at just 27 calories per 250ml can. If you're drinking it for the collagen benefits I would recommend having two. A clever idea for skin, but only if you have a sweet tooth. From £27 for 12 cans or £2.25 each,

Steven Gerrard suffers major blow as friend's water company CLOSES with eye-watering debt - after Liverpool icon and investors 'pumped in £2.5m'
Steven Gerrard is licking his wounds after a business he invested in heavily was forced to close in mountains of debt. The Liverpool legend and fellow investors reportedly pumped £2.5million into his friend's water company, as per the Sun. But now Angel Revive alkaline water has been forced to close after years of financial struggles and accounts on Companies House show a £542,220 debt. Almost £400,000 of that is in unpaid rent. Gerrard held a 25 per cent stake in the firm and has reportedly had £50,000 of his money back, but is still missing lots. He was also a brand ambassador. Angel Revive was founded in 2016 by Mark Doyle and Gerrard has previously called it 'the superhero of waters in purity, nutrition and healthiness'. The water was sourced from a spring in rural Lancashire and its website said it 'naturally contains minerals and electrolytes that promote wellness for the body', helping to maintain an 'optimum pH balance'. However, the business is now listed as 'permanently closed' on Google and the link to its website on Instagram leads to a 'domain misconfigured' page. Angel Revive did manage to amass a following of more than 34,000 users on Instagram but has not posted since December 2021. The company was reported to be in around £1m of debt in October 2020. The water originated from an aquifier in Mawdesley, Lancashire, with reports going back to the 1700s of its healing benefits. Doyle previously said: 'Our spring and its water have been the subject of numerous reports and commentary since Elizabethan times as to the curative benefits of water. 'However we do not claim our water can heal you - the belief is your own. 'For unknown reasons the spring had been covered over and buried for over a century until its history and benefits were brought to the attention of the current landowner.' Doyle had initially come across the natural spring in his back garden and brought in an excavator to find the source, before extracting and bottling it for sale. He is reportedly shortlisted for the Rangers job, having won the title there in 2020-21 Gerrard will be on the hunt for his next opoportunity having left Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq in January. He is one of four former Premier League bosses who have been shortlisted for the Rangers job, according to The Telegraph. Philippe Clement was sacked in February and Barry Ferguson has been in interim charge. Gerrard led Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title in 2020-21, winning 32 of 28 league games, going unbeaten, and only conceding 13 goals in the process. However, since then, his stints with Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq have been more of a mixed bag.
