Fruit-Infused Water 💦

I don’t know much, but I know two things for sure:

👉Most people don’t love drinking water.

👉Water/hydration is one of our core foundational strategies.

So what’s a girl to do? 😉

I went on a little statistics hunt, and what I discovered didn’t surprise me at all. Per www.statista.com, only 25% of beverages consumed in 2022 were bottled water. 1.5% was from value-added water (water with enhancers, flavors, etc.) and 9.4% was from tap water. That’s a total of 35.9%. All other beverages consumed (around 64.1%) were a mixture of alcohol, soft drinks, tea, fruit juices, milk, etc. If you’d like to read these statistics for yourself, here is the link:

Either way, I think it’s safe to say that most Americans don’t love drinking just plain ol’ H2O. 😉

Fortunately, I have a good answer, and it’s called fruit-infused water. 🍋

Not only are you optimally hydrating when you drink fruit-infused water, but you’re also squeezing in another basic component we’ve discussed before – micronutrients (aka, vitamins and minerals)!

Drinking water doesn’t have to be grueling, friends! Spice it up with your favorite fruits and herbs and reap all of the wonderful benefits! If you need some fruit-infused recipes, check out the link below for ideas!

SWEATY FUN FACT: Did you know that you lose more than just water when you sweat? That’s right! You also lose sodium and other electrolytes when you sweat; therefore, it’s important to replenish them after a good sweat sesh! 💦 There are plenty of great electrolyte water options out there today! My favorite is just good ole homemade electrolyte (spring) water with fresh squeezed lemon & sea salt / Celtic salt. Simple and cheap!

TAKING ACTION:

Okay, time to ‘fess up, friends! How’s your commitment to drinking water? Have you found a trick that helps you drink more than you used to? If so, share your tip below!
