I Don't want to get sick H20 Part II!

 I Don't want to get sick H20 Part II

So after hearing about all the illness that is circulating and me continuing the endless fight to "not get sick".... probably just jinx myself...oh well. I have been sipping, well more like chugging as much of this awesome naturally favored H2O as possible. 

I did a little research and after some contemplation I came up with my own concoction that I am sure will keep me healthy, hydrated and feeling good :) 

Ingredients:

Purified water (enough to fill pitcher continuously)

1 Medium size orange (sliced)

1 Lime (sliced)

1 Lemon (sliced)

3-4 Strawberries Sliced

1/2 a cucumber sliced (5-6 pieces)

Fresh sliced ginger (5-6 pieces)

Fresh Mint (5-10 leaves) muddled/crushed/chopped ( * adjust according to your own taste*)

What does all of this do for your water you ask?

Oranges - Vitamin C, potassium, folate and Flavonoids
Limes- Aids in digestion, Potassium, Vitamin C
Lemons- Alkalize the body, liver detox, Vitamin c, citrus biflavonoids
Strawberries - Vitamin C, photo chemicals (antioxidants)
