A little secret to hydrate and be healthy, if you’re like me, I need something in my water to make it taste better and if it healthy for me… that’s even better. So, I found great ways to infuse my water and I noticed I’ve been hydrating more… infusing your water with just about any combination of fruits and herbs makes it taste better and it’s good for you… you can combine anything under the sun, let it sit in the refrigerator overnight and the next day you can enjoy it all day long… here is a couple of combinations I love.
Mint, Lemon, Cucumber & Ginger – it’s a tummy detox.
Apple (I love Granny Smith), sticks of Cinnamon – energy booster.
Green Tea, Tangerine, Mint – metabolism booster.
Add frozen berries to your water bottle, great idea for keeping your water cool, in the office, working out or on a sunny day. Simply delicious…
Enjoy!
Chia Seeds…Chia Seeds, when I read that chia seeds were consumed on a daily basis by Aztecs and Mayan, I became super curious about these tiny little super seeds. They’re good brain food with their high content of omega fatty acids that increase healthy brain function, but they have also proven to be good for your heart by fighting high cholesterol and heart disease.
They even boast a wide variety of nutrients, such as: protein, fiber, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, calcium and antioxidants.
Use up to three tablespoons of chia seeds in your smoothie for a thick consistency and a mildly sweet flavor. My favorite way to enjoy them is mixing them in my drink, like adding some on lemon and water. A great detox drink by mixing half cranberry juice and water with the juice of one lemon and add some chia seeds.
Enjoy…
