Drink water or homemade infused water!

It is important to drink, at least, between 1.5l and 2l of water per day to keep you hydrated and to allow you body to work the better way to deliver the nutrients you need throughout the organism and eliminate the toxins accumulated. This must be a very important part of your diet, keep hydrated!

Yes, yes, it's easy for you to talk (you're thinking)...

Well, at the beginning it was difficult for us to drink water too, because of our job or we used to forget about the importance of drinking water or we didn't enjoy to drink it or we we're lazy to take a bottle with us every time we went out... lots of excuses!!

Drinking water doesn't mean the bottles with flavored water which has a big quantity of sugars or juices or refrigerants or wine... It mean's bottled spring water or tap water.

Don't you like the flavor of water?? Don't worry, we'll show some different ways for you to prepare water, giving it flavor with natural ingredients that will keep you hydrated, help you with the diet and give you nutrients and minerals that your body needs.

There's different ways to make infused water and we'll post different recipes soon...

Today we decided to share the recipe that we most use.... Ginger, Lemon and Cucumber Water! This one gives us Vit. C, increases satiety, hydrates, protects our skin integrity, is diuretic and antioxidant.



What will you need?

  1. Put the water in a jug.
  2. Add the juice of one lemon to the water and cut some lemon wedges to put in the water as well.
  3. Cut the cucumber in thin slices or different way and add it to the water.
  4. Add the ginger, sliced.
