This week I finished reading a refreshing book on water recipes by Harry Love called,
Awhile back I wrote a book review on Natural Vitamin Water Recipes. I love to drink water, especially a glass of water that is jazzed up a bit. All last week our temperatures ran in the high 90s, so it was quite necessary to hydrate before going outside. As you can see, I added some watermelon pieces, a bit of spearmint and sliced lemon to the filtered water.
Why do I infuse? Because it keeps me from feeling groggy in the afternoon and the water tastes refreshingly different. It keeps our organs healthy while we are sweating.
Introduction

My Thoughts
There's so many beneficial points the author has touched upon here. If you're feeling overtired, anxious, restless, dizzy, have trouble with sleeping, and unable to concentrate for long, then you should try infused water. You'll find an amazing list of fruit infused water recipes to try out every day. I especially like to boost my metabolism with an all time favorite, Citrus Ginger Water. There are so many beautiful choices to make and these delicious infused water drinks will do wonders for your body. It's a good book to have in your library, to enjoy skimming through the variety of drinks you can make for your enjoyment and good health.
