Flavored Water
"Water is crucial to your health. it makes up 60% of your body weight" (Fulcher 176). The disadvantages of not drinking enough water are fatigue, dizziness, muscle cramps, bad breath and chills. Some benefits of water are that it energizes muscles, makes your skin glow and helps cleanse your kidneys.
I’ve really never been a huge fan of water. I’ve always wanted to make bland water, flavorful. The only way to make water tastier is to add flavorings. Most flavorings have some much sugar and artificial flavoring, that’s not healthy. I wanted to find something that made my water more appealing, that was healthy, easy and quick.
This is a simple and easy way of making your water have more flavor. Throwing thing into water is quite easy. Also apart from the simple ingredients and easy making. The health benefits of water are needed everyday in our life, but by adding other simple and healthy ingredients, the water becomes even better. Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C. Cucumbers have many B vitamins. Lemons lower the risk of stroke. Mint leaves freshen breath and promotes digestion.

This type of drink is extremely refreshing especially during the summer! Can you add other ingredients to switch up the taste?
ReplyDeletePrabjot this looks absolutely tasty! For me, water is my life. I don't drink soda as the carbonation is just to much for me to handle. Whenever I go out to eat or even just eat at home, I always get water to drink. I love lemon water and often ask for that whenever it is possible. I have also tried orange water, but never cucumber. I am going to have to try this one day. To answer your question, no eating healthy has always come easy for me. By doing so, it allows for me to always feel good and helps me prevent getting sick. Due to your drink looking so good, I am going to have to try this out one day. Thank you!
