Wonders of Water: Infused Water

Wonders of Water: Infused Water

Let's be honest. H2O gets BORING drinking glass after glass unless you are already used to it. I've asked multiple people about their fitness and nutrition goals and most of them have told me that one goal is to drink more water!!

 Drinking water naturally boosts your metabolism.... what does this mean? Drinking water helps you LOSE WEIGHT!!!

Some people feel the need to use Mio or Crystal Light in their water to make it taste better but where are the nutrients in that?! That's right! There are none!


Why not add fruits and veggies to your water for an extra boost of vitamins and minerals, and a natural way to detox!

Benefits of drinking infused water

Lose weight

Boosts your metabolism.

Fills you up so you don’t eat as much junk.

Naturally helps your body release fat cells.

Here are some great H2O tips

• Drink a large glass of water before every meal
• Drink your first glass within 15 minutes of waking up
• Buy a travel infused water bottle to keep with you at all times (you're more likely to drink water if it's in front of you at all times)
• Instead of snacking on junk food, drink a full glass of water and wait about 10 minutes to see if you're still in the mood to snack (most times you aren't!)
• Always bring a water bottle to the gym
