      Introduction

      In recent decades, the glass of thirst-quenching water has slowly been replaced by sugary alternatives such as sodas and sweetened fruit juices. Concerned by the increase of conditions related to sugary drink consumption, many people have started opting for the pure hydration that can only be found with water. Replacing sugary drinks with water has helped many people in their efforts to lose weight and live healthier lives by avoiding the catastrophic illnesses and conditions that can result from the overwhelming amounts of sugar and chemicals in the standard diet. While major threats to health loom in every glass of synthetic juices, sodas, and drinks, there is a more serious (and far more common) condition that can develop in just a few hours without water, producing symptoms many people ignore. Most people simply dismiss their daily dips in energy, mental fogginess, unexplained hunger, and even irritability and mood swings on the blood sugar spikes and dips that sugary drink consumption inevitably causes. Surprisingly, though, these experiences are more likely symptoms of a far more serious condition: dehydration.

      The average person’s daily water consumption falls short of the widely accepted recommendation of 64 ounces, with some folks drinking little to no water at all. The most common reason people don’t choose water is the plainness of water. In contrast to the synthetically formulated sugary beverages they normally drink, water seems to lack flavor. But what if there was a delicious way to add water to your day that not only brightened every glass with vibrant color, but also added vital nutrients that help your body to function and thrive? While this may sound too good to be true, there is such a creation, and you can make it right in your own home simply and easily. Introducing: infused water!

      By adding slices and bits of your favorite fruit combinations, fragrant herbs, and other simple ingredients, you can create pitchers of water that make a daily water habit more delicious (and nutritious) than ever before. Flavored with sweet, spicy, or savory combinations of vibrant fruits and vegetables, you can get out of the plain water rut and start succeeding at your water intake goals every single day.

      Consuming adequate amounts of water will boost everything from your skin health to your brain function. With the array of benefits you can reap from adding fruits, vegetables, and other extras, your water becomes packed with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that can help you achieve a variety of health goals with every single sip!

      This book provides you with 100 detailed infused water recipes that combine your favorite fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices to create drinks that not only taste great but also help you achieve better overall health. So, whether your goal is to increase energy, improve immunity, lose weight, fight chronic disease, or aid digestion, you can combine specific ingredients in your water to produce the very benefits you seek . . . simply and deliciously!
