Benefits of Fruit-Infused Waters
These infused waters make our water pretty and very picture-worthy. However, once you’re done uploading your photo of infused water to your social media or group chat, you will appreciate all its benefits. We spoke about hydration, but how does adding extra elements to the water keep us hydrated? Our bodies need minerals known as electrolytes to absorb, retain, and deliver fluids efficiently to our cells. Some major electrolytes include calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Therefore, citrus fruit or cucumbers are naturally rich in electrolytes.
The next benefit ties into the importance of hydration. When you are dehydrated it shows – poor complexion, dry lips, etc. However, once you boost your intake with the fruit infusions, it will improve general blood circulation and detoxification.
