Everyone knows that water is the most important thing for our bodies to function properly, but most people don't even enjoy drinking plain water. Not only will infused water help you enjoy drinking your water, it's also one of the best ways to ensure that you're drinking the correct amount of water everyday. Infused water is water combined with fruits, vegetables, and herbs to add flavor. In addition to tasting better than plain old water, there are also many health benefits that come with it. When you drink infused water, you're getting vitamins and minerals from the fruits and vegetables. Along with the added vitamins and minerals, there are also gut health and digestive system benefits from herbs, such as mint, basil, and ginger.
If you're ready to hit your daily water intake by making some delicious infused water at home, here are six great recipes to help you along the way.
