Infuse your water: It's healthy, easy, and yummy!--Recipes

Infuse your water: It's healthy, easy, and yummy! 

Water is so important, as explained on this blog post. Here are some ways you can infuse your water to make you want to drink it!

Adding certain fruits, vegetables, and/or herbs to water can help in one or more ways: Flush toxins (detox), aid digestion, boost immune system, fight inflammation, improve blood flow, aid in weight loss, fight depression, fight cancer, ease stomach, contains antioxidants.


Directions: Fill desired pitcher with fruit/vegetable/herbs of your choice, then add water to fill and ice (optional). The more fruit/veggies/herbs, the more the flavor. Drink immediately or leave in the refrigerator 1-4 hours to better infuse the water with nutrients. The longer you leave the water in the fridge, the stronger the flavor.
