You Don't Like Drinking Water? Refreshing it May Help.

I've heard many people say they don't like drinking water because it has no taste. Huh? I drink water all the time and it's weird to hear that statement. We need water to live more than we need food. Consuming water, instead of soft drinks is the best thing we can do for ourselves because our body is made up of 60% water. Having a good balance of water in our body helps with hydration, flushing out toxins, digesting food, or preventing constipation. Who doesn't want to be regular?

If you don't like drinking water because it has no taste, there are several ways to dress it up so that you can drink more of it. I use True Lemon packets to refresh mine because I get tired of drinking plain water. I like this product because it's all natural and I don't have to keep fresh lemons in stock. Each packet is a slice of lemon and I use one or two in my water bottle. I also learned from Dr. Oz that lemon detoxifies the body and it's good for digestion. If you don't like the taste of lemon water because it's not lemonade, you can infuse a pitcher of water with cucumber, orange, or lemon slices, or herbs such as peppermint.

How much water should you drink? Well, that depends on the individual. For instance, someone who exercises needs more water than a sedentary person. Also, if the color of your urine is the shade of orange such as pumpkin, you need more fluids.

How do you take your water? Straight up, on the rocks, or with a twist of lime? Let me know and here is to your health.
