Target Specific Health Complaints Through Water
Water is vital for all of us to remain healthy and functioning at our best, we require between 1.5-2 litres of water each day, and more if we are exercising, have a strenuous lifestyle or are experiencing hot weather. But sometimes we find ourselves struggling to maintain the quota for optimum health; water can become dull and tedious leading us to becoming lax.
But instead of reaching for a sugar laden or caffeine boosted drink, think about what fruits and herbs you could infuse into your water. Not only would you be giving your hydration the mantainance it requires but you are using natural ingredients that have health boosting properties within them. Each herb and fruit contains vitamins and minerals that have been found to increase certain areas of your health and wellbeing.
Check out the table below and match up your fruit and herb choices that you feel your health is most in need of. Mix and match to suit, there’s no one size fits all!
