We all know that drinking water is necessary for our bodies to function properly and we also know that “just one more YouTube video” at night will lead to 3 hours of binge-watching vine compilations. But alas human nature! It fails knowledge and reason in exchange for God knows what. Something as basic as hydrating your body should not be that difficult but in reality, it is so, for a lot of people.
The fact that a lack of proper hydration can potentially kill us should be a reason good enough to make us chug a bottle or two but the human brain creates its own woes. Most people attribute the cause of their dehydration to the tasteless, smell-less, colorless and hence appeal-less being of the liquid. But the same human brain has tailored a solution to the problem that is its own creation- which is, infused water. Also called “detox water”, infused water is basically cold water, infused with fruits and/or herbs. It has the same benefits as water, with some added perks like flavor and some extra nutrition.
So, if you are a non-drinker of H2O, here are five interesting infused water ideas for you that would have your limbs crying in gratitude-

Lavender is an edible flower that smells like heaven and has beneficial nutrients. Blueberries hold down the taste front, along with providing with lots of antioxidants. This is the fountain of youth water that you should be religiously sipping on.
Even though there is still a lot of doubt about how much of added benefits infused water actually provides one with, the bottom line remains the same- it adds some fun to the lifelessness of water and helps people be less self-sabotaging in terms of hydration. More water means more toxins washed away from your body, increased metabolism, lessen muscle tension and a lot more. So, even if the perks are still in question, try some of these recipes out before your internal organs start resembling heaps of corn hay.
