Drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water every day is key to good health. It keeps you hydrated, flushes out toxins, keeps your skin looking fantastic, and helps your body to transport the fat to be used as energy.
Despite all these benefits, it's easy to forget to knock back a few glasses of H2O daily—probably because, on the boring scale, drinking water ranks up there with watching paint dry.
But it doesn't have to be! Here are creative ideas on how to flavor your water so that it's something you look forward to.
1 cup ice
2 slices fresh orange
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
4 fresh mint leaves
1-1/4 cup cold water
Preparation:
Place ice in tall glass; set aside.
Combine orange, ginger, and mint in large cocktail shaker. Mash well with back of a wooden spoon or muddler.
Stir in water; cover and shake.
Strain into ice-filled glass and enjoy.

If you are anything like me I don't have the time to spend putting together these drinks, so what are my options?
The other day I saw this product called Aqua Zinger Flavored Water Maker
For those of you who love natural options this is by far the best solution out there. Products that come in packets more than not will contain chemical sweeteners which are not good for your body.
