What's So Great About Water?

Water is an essential element of LIFE and a very important component of any serious weight-loss program.

Water makes up 80% of our blood and brain - and about 50% of your body tissues.  It is vitally important to your good health.

Water regulates the body's temperature and aids the liver and kidneys in processing body waste (toxins). 

Water is also necessary for nutrient and oxygen transport in your body and for absorption and utilization of vitamins and minters.

So Drink Up!

Promised some good water recipes:  Note:  You can make a pitcher of any of these, store in refrigerator over night and drink the entire contents the next day to get your daily water needs.
Just fill a large pitcher with whatever fruits or herbs you like from the selection below, add ice half way and the rest with H2O.

1. My favorite is frozen pineapple tidbits and mint leaves.  YUMMY!
2. Orange slices, lemon wedges and lime wedges.
3. Orange slices with a cinnamon stick thrown in.
4. Cucumber - plain.
5. Cucumber - fancy - throw in some mint.
6. Lemon - plain.
7. Lemon - fancy - thrown in some basil. 

You get the picture.  Let your creativity flow here and create some of your own.   Some organic grocery stores are now selling single glasses of some of the above and charging $1.99 per serving.

I'd love to get some feedback on these if anyone comes up with something so that we can share it.

Thank you and have a wonderful FRIDAY [wrote this Thursday night because I have my grandkids tomorrow]!  LOL!
