Infuse
your WaTeR
DON’T JUST DRINK WATER ADD SOME VITAMINS & MINERAL MAGIC
TO IT....
Here are some cool ways to give a zing to your normal water to replenish and energize you
through the summer day!!!
GRAPEFRUIT CUCUMBER & MINT WATER
I enjoy Grapefruit water so much that i love refilling the pitcher again and again and also the water consumption is on a good graph and i feel fresh all the time :)
The rich pink and red colors of grapefruit are due to lycopene, a carotenoid phytonutrient.
You will need
12 cups of water
1/2 grapefruit sliced
1/2
cucumber, sliced
10 mint leaves.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add grapefruit, cucumber, and mint to
pitcher. Cover with 3 quarts of water and refrigerate overnight or serve right away.
LEMON CUCUMBER & MINT WATER
Lemon: Lemon water makes for a powerful
detox drink; lemon juice helps to cleanse and alkalize the body.
Lemon also aides in
digestion and boosts your immune system.
Mint: Mint adds a ting of sweetness
without any additional sugar, and it also helps settle your stomach and aids in
digestion.
Cucumber: Adding a few slices of cucumber
to your water makes for excellent re-hydration, and also adds in anti-inflammatory properties .
You will need
12 cups of water
2 lemons, sliced
1/2
cucumber, sliced
10 mint leaves.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add lemons, cucumber, and mint to
pitcher. Cover with 3 quarts of water and refrigerate overnight.
Keep drinking this water before and
between the meals.
APPLE CINNAMON WATER
Cinnamon regulates blood sugar levels and
simultaneously increases insulin levels in the body. And it increases the metabolism of glucose.
Since high blood sugar levels can lead to
increased storage of fat by the body, cinnamon helps prevent this increased
storage of fat and enables you to lose weight.
You will need:
1
Apple thinly sliced, I like Fuji but you can pick your favorite
1
Cinnamon Stick
Intructions:
Drop apple slices in the bottom of the
pitcher and then the cinnamon stick.
Makes 2 liters, re-fill water 3-4 times before
replacing apples and cinnamon.
Cover with ice about 1/2 way through then
with water. Place in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
WATER AND WEIGHT LOSS
- The process of burning calories requires an adequate supply of water in order to function efficiently; dehydration slows down the fat-burning process.
- Burning calories creates toxins, and water plays a vital role in flushing them out of your body.
- A healthy (weight loss) diet includes a good amount of fiber. But while fiber is normally helpful to your digestive system, without adequate fluids it can cause constipation instead of helping to eliminate it.
Cheers to Summer
ENJOY !!!!
