Fruit Infused Water to Stay Hydrated

The average human body is about 55-60% water. Water is important for health and general well-being, for maintaining the proper functions of the body (kidneys, blood circulation, skin elasticity).

It’s recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water daily, to get the maximum of benefits such as:

Good for detox, facilitates sweat and flushes body waste;
Maintains blood pressure and improves circulation, delivering oxygen to the tissues;
Water helps improve physical performance, while dehydration reduces the overall body performance, impairs the brain function, generates fatigue, digestive issues, skin problems. Studies have shown that even mild dehydration (water loss of 1-3%) can affect memory and brain function, the energy and mood;
Prevents kidneys damage and stones formation;
Water can also help with weight loss, accelerates metabolism and reduces cravings;
Drinking water can help with constipation – the low water consumption is a risk factor for constipation;
Water helps prevent and reduce some symptoms of hangover.
Water is good for your skin – it improves elasticity, reduces wrinkles, prevents pimples and acne, moisturizes.

As some people may find difficult to drink at least 2 liters of liquids daily, there are practical ways to ensure your body gets enough water/liquids to maintain the hydration balance positive and keep your body alkaline.

How to prepare them: In an ice tray place the fruits according to your preferences, fill the tray up with water and keep it in the refrigerator. Keep a variety of ice cubes so that you can diversify. The sky is the limit when it comes to combinations of colors and flavors!
