It has been years now that our family stepped away from drinking much more than water. So many of the drinks on the market are loaded with artificial coloring, sugars, and other harmful-to-health ingredients. What a waste of money, both in the purchasing and also in the dentist/doctor bills these help to incur!
We also avoid drinking fruit juices on a regular basis because they are not a whole food. The fiber in the fruit actually slows down the absorption of sugar to the body, thus making it a better choice to eat the whole fruit rather than drinking the juice.
But sometimes water gets boring. Here is a fun thing I tried this afternoon (has been on my to-do list for a few weeks).
Into a gallon jar, place
4 thinly sliced lemons and 1/2 cup
chopped mint leaves. Fill with water, place a lid on the jar and store overnight in the fridge.
Enjoy a flavorful, refreshing beverage for a different twist on drinking water.
