Water is excellent for your body, we all know that, but how can we make this everyday drink more exciting and how will this influence our body. At Oh Hey Beaut, we look at 3 top favourites, and how you can benefit, the results are quite surprising!
Water & Lemon
Lemons are full of vitamin C, it’s a perfect morning drink, giving your immune system a well-needed boost, so when you’re in meetings or on public transport, and you can hear people coughing around you, you don’t need to worry, your body has been prepared! Lemons also contain pectin fibre, which actually helps fight hunger cravings, cool right? It also reduces inflammation, aids digestion, and freshen breath, tell me were not all mentally adding lemons to our shopping list right now!?
Water & Cucumber
When I think of cucumbers, I think of slices over the eyes and relaxing spa days, but they are also a great water accompaniment. Not only do they add a refreshing flavour, but they are also full of antioxidants. They contain Vitamin C, beta carotene and manganese, which all have lots of health benefits, which may even prevent cancer. Antioxidants help to delay cell damage from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, and oxidative stress can lead to many life-threatening diseases, like cancer and heart disease. Now we know why they say ‘Cool as a Cucumber’, cucumbers are pretty cool!
Water & Mint
Mint is always very refreshing & reminds me of cocktails, (a delicious mojito) and also contains vitamin A, which is important for your eye health. Just like cucumbers, mint contains important antioxidants. Mint is known for helping with digestion helping to settle upsets stomachs, and even masking bad breath. Mint is also thought to help with seasonal allergies. It’s super easy to buy or even to grow if you are feeling green-fingered.
