00:00Could sparkling water help you lose weight faster than still water?
00:03Science says, maybe yes.
00:06We've all heard that drinking water before meals can curb your appetite.
00:10But what if swapping still for sparkling made an even bigger difference?
00:14New research shows that the bubbles in fizzy water
00:17may actually help reduce blood sugar and speed up your metabolism.
00:21Here's how it works.
00:23The CO2 in sparkling water gets absorbed through your stomach
00:26and turns into bicarbonate in your blood.
00:28This triggers red blood cells to activate enzymes that help your body absorb glucose faster.
00:33As a result, your blood sugar levels drop.
00:36And that might give your body a gentle push toward burning fat.
00:40Doctors even compared it to a process used in dialysis that helps filter waste from the blood.
00:45Though the effects are small, it's a surprising link between bubbles and blood sugar.
00:50Experts say don't ditch your diet just yet.
00:53But if you're already sipping water, maybe make it sparkling.
00:56The science is bubbling with potential, but more research is still needed.
01:01It's clicking a bit now.
01:02Let's see.
01:03I'm going to see.
01:04I'm going to see.
01:05But we're talking about more research shows.
01:06That's the most important advice we've been in this project.
01:07To have a long list of research shows.
01:08I'm going to see.
01:10Mr. Prince, let me see.
01:11I'm going to see.
01:12I'm going to see the next slide.
01:13I'm going to see.
01:14It's going to be the next slide here.
01:15It's going to go on in the lab.
01:17I'm going to see.
01:18I'm going to see.
