Losing weight can be so difficult, especially since you have to start watching what you eat and drink. There are so many added sugars in sodas and flavored drinks, that without knowing you could be ingesting many calories without even knowing it. Infused water is a healthier alternative that can even aid in weight loss.
What is infused water? Infused water is generally any type of water than you can add a combination of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Those that don’t enjoy the taste of plain water can greatly benefit from infused water because it’s low calorie and tastes great. In addition, infused water can carry a variety of health benefits, such as:
- Flushes toxins from your body
- Fills you up so you don’t eat as much
- Helps release fat cells
- Good for digestion
- Reduces fatigue while working out
- Improves your mood
- Helps you keep hydrated
Lemon & Mint
Helps you lose weight by feeling fuller and giving you energy while you work out. It gives your body natural electrolytes, a great form of Vitamin C and antioxidants, but the best part is that it has anti-aging properties, which helps give your skin look great.
Cucumber, Lemon & Mint
This water is a little better than the first one because it cleanses and alkalizes the body. It aids in digestion and boosts your immune system. The mint can add a touch of sweetness without the calories, plus it helps with digestion and relieves an upset stomach. Cucumber has anti-inflammatory properties that will also aid in keeping your skin look great because it’s a good source of vitamin B.
Orange, Lemon & Ginger
This is a very tasty combination and if you like citrus, this is the one for you. Oranges aid with healthy blood circulation and ginger is a great anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that boosts your immune system.
As you can see, you can try a variety of options. You might want to try adding berries to the lemon and mint water, cinnamon and apples or pineapple with mint. The choice is yours and this is also a great way to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet, which are not only good for you but are also great for your skin, hair, and nails. Salud!
