The Benefits of Infused Water

Most people know that staying hydrated is one of the key components to being healthy. Drinking water can increase energy, flush out toxins, improve the complexion, and ward off headaches. But, sometimes people find it hard to drink just plain water and opt for other beverages, such as sodas or juice. The downside to this is that many of these drinks, even 100 percent fruit juices, contain a lot of sugar. This is why many people have turned to fruit-infused water.

One easy way to make your own infused water is to use pitchers or water bottles available for sale that are built with a container in the center that holds fruit. Then the pitcher or bottle is filled with water, allowing the fruit’s flavor to seep into the water. Typically the fruits need to steep in the water for at least four hours to get the desired effect. This leads to a drink that is hydrating, delicious tasting, and very low in sugar.

Another benefit of fruit infuser bottles is that the user can create numerous combinations of flavors using different fruits and herbs. Some common combinations include:

• Strawberry and lemon

• Lemon and lime

• Cherries and lime

• Raspberries, blackberries, and mint

• Lemon, cucumber, and mint

• Pineapple and blueberry

• Cucumber and watermelon

• Lemon, orange, and ginger

Of course, nearly any type of fruit or herb can be used in these infusers, so residents of PepperTree apartments near The Villages, FL, can easily come up with their own delicious combinations.
