ravenyvolle 583 #1 Posted September 25, 2017 Water infusions are best for our health because of its natural antioxidants and vitamins plus it has zero calories!:) Personally, I have my own water infusion (cucumber, lemon, rosemary leaves)-- Good for skin, nails and hair health, lots of vitamins C and E, muscle recovery, quenches thirst, suppresses appetite and an overall antioxidant or detox. ***How to prepare it?*** -- I usually have a 2-liter tumbler, that is good for the whole day and a half. -- Slice 2 cucumbers( prefer organic ones), 1 lemon and rosemary leaves --Put them all together with water and ice ofc and leave the infusion for at least 8 hours. --Discard the fruits afterwards.Enjoy! ***When to drink it?*** -- Early in the morning 30 minutes before eating -- Drink one glass of the infusion before meals(30 mins) --And before sleeping, at least an hour before sleeping:) --Good for a post workout too:) Hope you love my post and enjoy your healthy water! ? 1 reusue reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mistletoe 430 #2 Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Dont we need to soak it to water for at least an hour before doing that? Idk.. Somebody advised me to soak apples in water before eating it so the chemicals sprayed on the apple would go into the water. Not sure if that applies to veggies and other fruits too Edited September 25, 2017 by Mistletoe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zephiera 109 #12 Posted September 25, 2017 A lot of people are doing this nowadays. I guess this is worth the hype. I'll try it next week. But I prefer berries. Do you know some good berry infusions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know some good berry infusions? I do !:) But it is more expensive:) I read it online that blueberries, raspberries and mints are good combination for a fruit infusion. But you can substitute one strawberry instead with mint and cucumbers:) Yum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zephiera 109 #14 Posted September 25, 2017 But where can I get blueberries here in the Philippines? there's a lot of strawberries so it will not be difficult for me. But I prefer blueberry and raspberry. Hmmm mint? the leaf that we can see on TV that tribes chew when they don't have a toothbrush? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate my belly fat immunity ✔ -> I got hospitalized weeks ago so this is a must for me. If you are doing it for almost 4 months then I guess it really works well for you. I hope this will not be a burden on my weekly budget. Based on your post it seems that you are doing this twice a day only? I must set a budget so I am interested to know.
