I've spoken about the health benefits more than once on the blog and the newsletters. How it's important to get 1/2 your body weight in ounces daily, how you should drink room temperature water and not freezing ice cold. We've talked how hydration is key for so many normal functions of the body such as proper digestion, hydration of the skin, and lubrication of the joints.
It's no mystery that water--the substance that is 75% of our bodies and 75% of our planet--is crucial to our over health and well-being.

Some can't stomach the idea of drinking room temperature water. I've heard a million different reasons in my practice and with my friends and family. With that said, there are always solutions!

I'm not going to lie, I probably drank at least 4 bottles of my infused water and tea, plus the other plain water I was drinking. People are definitely onto something. Below are my top 5 fruit and tea infusions that I made. Try them out! Tell me what you think! I've also posted what the ingredients are good for from an Ayurvedic perspective.
