Delicious water!!! Our body is made of 50-60 % of this glorious liquid... We just simply can't live without it! I am one of those people who just have always loved drinking water... I am not a soda or even a juice fan... too sweet and most important of all not good for the body.
Having your daily intake of water does the body good: eliminates headaches, gives a clear complexion, stronger hair, helps the body cleanse itself through urine and perspiration, good for joint and muscle health... and I bet you can find 100 more good reasons to trade the soda and juice for water. Now don't get me wrong, I do drink coffee each day and I do love a bottled soda once in a while.
I can understand water might be non-appealing to some folks and trying to create a habit of drinking water might be difficult when you are used to taste the very strong flavours found in soda and juices.
I have a couple tricks that might help you start loving water! I drink it each day with a twist...
Even if I love the simple glass of water I find giving it a little twist makes me feel like I'm having treat. During the day I will press half a lemon or orange in my glass of water. Usually people will flavour their water by putting in slices of fruit. I prefer pressing all the juices out of the citrus. It gives a lovely flavour to the water and at the same time I benefit from the properties of the fruit (contains high levels of potassium and vitamin C, stimulates the liver helping the body cleanse itself). At night I will do the same but this time I use sparkling mineral water. I will add the juice of half an orange and half a lemon or half a grapefruit... sometimes a little lime... and this drink feels like a treat!
Give it a try! You might be surprised how good this tastes! Enjoy!
