The human body consists mainly of water and thus, we have heard so many times in our lives that we should drink more water to keep our body healthy. Not only that, the body also needs water to survive, but water can also help in losing weight. So if we all know that water have so many benefits for us, then why we do not drink more of it anyway?
Well, the answer is simple, the bland taste. When it is tasteless, it is hard to have to drink too much. Maybe this is the reason why many people hope that the drink is flavored, so that drinking water is so much more fun? Of course it is. And instead of purchasing those flavored water from the supermarkets, you can actually make the flavored water yourselves. Flavored water can reduce your cravings to snack so that it will help you to even reduce more weight.
Frozen berries would be one of the best ingredients to be infused to plain water. If you choose frozen berries, you can skip the ice cubes. There are many choices of berries that would be perfect for the flavored water. Among the berries are the strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. Refrigerate the plain water and then add the berries of your choice to the drink. This sweet cold treat is perfect for food snack cravings and also a good way to help you create something out of the abundant summer harvest that is stacking in the refrigerators.
Cucumber will also make a great addition to mineral water. The flavor of cucumber is more subtle than the berries and it is also less sweet but still has certain refreshing quality, which makes it perfect for those who prefer the kind of taste. A few slices of cucumber added to each glass of fresh water will give you the rejuvenating spa like taste. This drink will help you lose the urge of drinking soda.
Different citrus addition would also be a ore sophisticated addition to water. Simply keep a bowl of the citrus slices in the refrigerator so that you can create the drink anytime you feel like it. For those who like a little bit more acidic, then answer would be limes and lemons. But for those who prefer on the sweet side, then oranges, tangerines and mandarins would be better. The lime and water in the mornings is said to have the ability to reduce body fat.
