Making water tasty :
Drinking water helps you loose weight. Now, that sounds ridiculous, but its true. Drinking enough water each day can also help your body drain toxins which makes your body more healthy. To achieve this, it is advised to drink 7-8 liters of water each day, however, this sounds too much and to some it sound almost impossible. Drinking coffee and tea dehydrates our body, and not drinking enough water signals it to retain more water to stay hydrated. This can be one of the reasons for increase in weight. The percentage of salt you consume in a day also increases the amount of water retention. To best way to shed extra pounds is to flush this stored water out.
Drinking plain water is too boring, so to make it more tasty, we infuse it with flavours like cucumber, mint, oranges, lemon, strawberries, etc. or anything that your might want. So lets check out various tasty ways that can help you shed pounds as you drink.
