Spa Water

Life sustaining water does so much more than quench your thirst.  Your body uses that glass of water to regulate your body temperature, breakdown and absorb dietary minerals, and lubricate your joints.  When you are dehydrated, your blood becomes thicker which puts more stress on your heart.  Are you feeling sluggish today?  Refresh your body with water.  Are you someone who would rather drink soda or juice than plain water?  Here's a tip: try fruit infused water.  You can experiment by adding your favorite flavors, but this simple recipe is a good place to start.

1 juice orange
1/2 cucumber
6 mint leaves

1. Wash and thinly slice the orange and cucumbers, discarding ends.
2. Add fruit & mint to a large pitcher and fill with ice water.

You can refill the pitcher and reuse the fruit for a couple of days.  Enjoy!
