Ditch boring water and satisfy your thirst with healthy all natural homemade quenchers.
Water is very essential to your good health, it makes up about 60% of your body weight. Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements, but since every system in your body depends on water to function properly, you must replenish its water supply. Studies determined that your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live but roughly we can say an adequate intake for men is 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and for women 2.2 liters (about 9 cups).
It’s a huge amount of water if you think about it and you are not a water lover! That’s why here is 3 homemade recipes for naturally flavored water with added health benefits, to encourage you meet your daily needs, and stay hydrated especially it’s getting really hot outside!
citrus kiss:
Slice up one lemon, one orange and one grapefruit, add them to one liter of water. The longer the ingredients steep, the stronger the flavor will be, so mix them up a few hours ahead depending on how strong you want the taste to be.
Apple cinnamon:
Wedge up one full apple and toss in one cinnamon stick. This one has a great kick, it helps boost your metabolism.
Cucumber, mint lemon:
Slice up one or two cucumbers and soak in handful mint leaves and one sliced lemon.
You can soak in any fruit you like. Would love to have your new flavors suggestions if you already tried one!
So refreshing that I am sure I will hear lots of ahhhhhh when you try these!
