WATER INFUSIONS TO FRESHEN UP YOUR DAY

WATER INFUSIONS TO FRESHEN UP YOUR DAY We understand how hard it can be to drink the recommended 2 litres of water per day, to stay hydrated. It can be especially difficult if you like fruit juices or fizzy drinks which are high in sugar and in return very tasty. Therefore, water infusions are a great replacement if you would like to become healthier and more alert during the day, without missing out on the great taste. You may have seen the jazzy infusion water bottles many people are purchasing to make their water that little bit more satisfying. Some may use a standard bottle and put the fruit inside but others purchase an infusion bottle so that the fruit is stored in a separate compartment, it just depends what you prefer. Eden Springs is recommending the below combinations which will not only be a helping hand on your way to 2 litres a day but ultimately providing you with a healthier drink. Try the daily vitamin boost - cucumber, kiwi and strawberry... Cucumber is a vegetable high in vitamin K which plays a vital role in blood clotting, bone metabolism and regulating blood calcium levels You wouldn’t have thought, but the Kiwi fruit holds more vitamin C than an orange! It is rich in vitamin E content too Strawberries aren’t to be underestimated by their size, these baddies are packed full of vitamin C and K. Boost your immunity with raspberry, rosemary and pear...... Raspberries happen to be rich in effective antioxidants and phytonutrients. These elements reinforce your immune system and help your body fight disease Rosemary is a fragrant herb full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories which are thought to help boost the immune system and improve blood circulation Pears are rich in antioxidants too which will help to eliminate conditions like the common cold, flu and other mild illnesses A health kick with apple, lemon, cranberries, orange zest and pomegranate seeds... An apple a day keeps the doctor away’ Apples have some quirky benefits like stimulating the production of saliva in your mouth, reducing tooth decay and ultimately giving you whiter, healthier teeth Lemons unusually treat and help cure problems related to indigestion and constipation, which is why adding this into the mix will aid with daily digestion Cranberries are perhaps best known for their role in preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially for those with recurrent infections Orange zest provides excellent support against respiratory distress and is also found to be effective for treating asthma Pomegranate seeds make the list of natural arthritis treatments since they’re a source of antioxidants called flavanols, which act as anti-inflammatory agents in the body Extra tips: Organisation is key Prepare your water infusion the night before so all the goodness from the fruits can be submerged into the water for a longer period (this will make the flavour a lot stronger) Chill your infusion overnight in the fridge so that you have lovely cold water to drink. This is particularly refreshing on a warm, sunny day BUT if you don’t have time to leave this overnight in the fridge then make sure you add some ice to cool your drink down
