Drinking lots of water will always be good for you. Well in fact, your body is about 75% water and your body’s metabolism is highly dependent on your water intake. Another thing would be that fruits are generally good foods. They’re full of essential vitamins and minerals in amounts that are very natural for the body, and the risk of overdose is very small. And such are much easily absorbed by the body than synthetic/processed ones (food supplements). I’m not saying that those are bad, but that eating fruits instead is a much better choice.

Infusing fruits into the water you’re drinking is even better, especially when it means you’ll be able to drink more than how much you usually do. The flavors of the fruits you’ve decided to soak in for a number of hours blend smoothly into the water that it may even be more delectably appealing than the usual powdered fruit juice! And the benefits of fruit-infused water is way more than any powdered fruit juice could ever claim.

The mild sweetness of the fruit or a selected mix of fruits gives you that refreshing and invigorating taste comparable to that of sports drinks, but without that salty taste. But if you’d love to, you can add a dash of salt to the water for that added sodium and to prevent discoloring of the fruit like in sliced apples. What’s more is that you get to enjoy all the benefits of the fruit you infused, without having to chew it!

And infusing itself is not only limited to fruits. You can also infuse using vegetables. Take for example, the ever popular cucumber. You can infuse it instead of putting it over your face and have the goodness of cucumber circulate throughout your body.

Some herbs and medicinal plants will also do. Plants like the popular Aloe Vera, dubbed as Egypt’s “plant of immortality” for its rich moisturizing and rejuvenating effects. But just be sure to use the edible ones for infusion, as other varieties are only for topical applications and would taste bad or give unpleasant effects (like an itchy tongue).

But nevertheless, just like in fruit infusion, you’ll get to have most (if not all) of the goodness of whatever edible vegetable, herb, or plant you’re going to do infusion with. Plus that usual advice you’ll hear from your doctor when given the chance well taken cared off (drinking plenty of water).
