How To Make Drinking Water An Experience
We need to bring this daily necessity to an entirely new, more exciting level.
There are countless articles out there constantly drilling us with the many benefits of water, telling us how much to drink and how often we should drink it. Indeed, all of water’s benefits are enticing, but wouldn’t we be more likely to drink up if the process itself was more of an experience? It’s time we get enthusiastic about how we drink our water and what we add to it. We need to bring this daily necessity to an entirely new, more exciting level.
First, let me give you the facts. As you probably know, water is good for you. It aids in digestion, circulation and the flushing out of toxins. Water maintains your bodily fluids and keeps your body temperature normal. It also assists in absorption, saliva production and the transportation of nutrients throughout the body. Water maintains the kidneys, lubricates the joints and protects the spinal cord. Needless to say, water is a pretty powerful and important substance.
The combination of a healthy moisturizer and good water intake can help keep your skin hydrated, making it pliable, better able to perform, less susceptible to oil buildup, and more resilient to the appearance of wrinkles.
As an aesthetician, it’s also important that I point out water’s positive impact on your skin’s health. Skin is the body’s largest organ, and skin cells are made of mostly water. If skin is dehydrated, its pores become rigid which triggers a change in oil production, ultimately resulting in breakouts. In addition, skin dehydration affects your skin’s collagen production, causing your skin to appear dull and flakey, creating a perfect breeding ground for unwanted wrinkles. The combination of a healthy moisturizer and good water intake can help keep your skin hydrated, making it pliable, better able to perform, less susceptible to oil buildup, and more resilient to the appearance of wrinkles.
To make drinking water more of a special event, we can infuse it with all kinds of natural flavors: strawberry, mint & lemon, blueberries & basil, cherries & vanilla, even apples & cinnamon.
Now let’s move on to the juicy stuff. On its own, water doesn’t really taste like much; that very well may be why we so easily and so often forget to drink it. Fortunately, there’s an easy fix. To make drinking water more of a special event, we can infuse it with all kinds of natural flavors: strawberry, mint & lemon, blueberries & basil, cherries & vanilla, even apples & cinnamon. Not only are these combinations endless, but they are also so good for you. By drinking infused water, we can simultaneously benefit from the vitamins, fiber, anti-oxidants and minerals that fruit, herbs and even spices provide. For example, cucumbers, a common water infuser, are especially high in silica, which calms skin irritations. These infusions can make both our taste buds and our bodies look and feel better.
