I was one of those people that would
rather drink iced tea or soda than water. Whether ti be at work or at
home, whenever I was feeling thirsty I would usually take a large cup
of iced tea and when I didn't have tea I would drink soda or some
other flavored fizzy drink. So, I basally avoided water as much as
possible like it was my worst enemy. On an average day I would drink
only one or two small glasses of water. Don't get me wrong I'm aware
of the fact that staying hydrated is very important for overall
wellbeing, but I thought that two glasses of H2O and all the other
floured drinks that I was sipping on throughout the day were more
than enough to keep me hydrated. However, as I learned later water
not only keeps the body hydrated, but also helps all organs in the
body to function properly.
I've always had problems with acne and
breakouts and although I use a whole arsenal of creams and lotions to
keep my skin clean and acne-free, I've never managed to get rid of
them for good. My dermatologist says that all women experience
hormonal changes, especially during their period and this is one of
the main reasons for breakouts. But, he could never understand why I
still have a lot of acne, dispute using all those lotions he
recommended until I told him, while casually conversing that I hate
drinking water, and I keep myself hydrated with flavored drinks like
tea and soda. After hearing this he said that the sugar that flavored
drinks contain in abundance could be the thing that is triggering the
appearance of acne and that drinking more water actually contributors
a lot to a cleaner and younger looking skin.
So, it turns out water was my best
firmed and the sweet tea that I used to love so much my biggest
nemesis. Now water is my number one drink and I have even found a
great way to improve its taste by using healthy water enhancers
like flavored Stevia drops and cinnamon sticks. Ever since I
discovered the amazing Stevia water drops I can't get enough of them.
They are healthy water enhancers made from Stevia leaf that is
naturally very sweet, but has non of the harmful effects of refined
sugar. That's why it's used in many other products not just water
drops. For instance, it's the main ingredient in sugar-free chewing
gum and dietary drinks. The best thing about Stevia water drops is
that they contain no calories and due to the sweet taste of the
Stevia leaf only a few drops are enough to enhance the flavor of
water. They come in range of wonderful flavors like mango, raspberry,
lemon, lime, apple, strawberry, etc. My personal favorite are the
raspberry lemonade which make my water taste almost exactly like my
much loved raspberry flavored iced tea.
