Just few pieces of fruit can make water a little more “cheerful” and colourful!
We are all familiar with benefits of proper hydration, yet sometimes, especially in those times we are on a weight loss diet, we crave some flavor too. If plain water simply isn’t enough, here’s how to add flavor the healthy way.
Lemon water
By adding few drops of lemon juice to each glass of water you take, you will get better flavor, more vitamin C to prevent flu, and most importantly, it will act a natural metabolism enhancer, making fat burning much faster.
Watermelon and mint water
For those occasions when you need extra energy and flavor, you can make this great detox mix. Watermelon acts as a natural diuretic and helps the body to get rid of excess water, while mint reduces the swelling of the stomach and helps to lose the fat from this area too.
Sparkling water
Sparkling or carbonated water is an excellent choice for people who need a break from drinking plain water while on a diet as it doesn’t add too many calories, while its texture leaves you feeling full and little less susceptible to snacking.
