Spice it Up!

We all know how beneficial water is to our health. Water detoxifies, helps with metabolism, regulates body temperature, protects our vital organs, and much, much more. But for some of us, the taste of water gets BORING.

Try spicing up your H20 with a bit of flavor! The goal is to stay away from artificial additives.

  • A twist of lemon or lime (or a little juice) 
  • A small piece of fruit 
  • A little unsweetened cranberry concentrate (look in health food stores) 
  • A slice of cucumber (subtle, but refreshing) 
  • Placing pieces of fruit in your ice tray
