Using Infused Water for Hydration, Energy & Wellness 

Why Hydration is Key:

Staying hydrated is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in keeping our bodies functioning optimally. Proper hydration helps maintain energy levels, supports digestion, heart, joint, and skin health, and even enhances medication effectiveness. It is easy to make hydration enjoyable with infused water.  If you find plain water boring, drinking infused water is simple with a selection of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, and it may help you drink more water and choose fewer sugary options!

Why Hydration Matters:

Dehydration mimics many conditions that may worry us. Before we add another supplement or medication, let’s make sure we’re hydrating properly. It’s like the foundation before we add anything else.

Signs of dehydration:

• Dark urine
• Constipation
• Low sweat production
• Muscle cramps
• Dry mouth, skin, or eyes
• Cranky 
• Brain Fog
• Low energy
• Headaches

Why Summer is a Great Time for Infused Water:

Summer not only brings with it warm weather and long days, but it also brings seasonal produce high in hydration! Seasonal fruits and vegetables available in the summer months of June, July, and August are rich in water, which supports hydration in warm temperatures. Their natural sugar content also helps supply the body with energy. Did you know cucumbers are 96% water? 

Making infused water is simple! Fill your favorite bottle, cup, or pitcher with water. Add any fresh produce, and let it steep for 1-12 hours! Don’t forget to remove the fruit, vegetables, or herbs to prevent decomposition.
