The Summer heat is upon us. It is important to stay hydrated at all times of the year but now it is time to get super diligent!
Water flushes out toxins and helps carry nutrients to our cells. Staying hydrated is vitally important to help prevent mindless eating. Sometimes we think we are hungry but we are just in need of life giving water!
Keeping fluids handy is a good habit when it is water or something equally as healthy and light in calories. The problem arises when a sugar or other carb-sweetened beverage is guzzled all day. Glucose is flushed straight into the blood stream on a constant basis. Liquid carbs are the most dangerous of all high glycemic, insulin spiking, fat flooding, health enemies that we face.
If you are one that just does not like the taste of plain, ol’ water… give our Hydrates a try! If your kids want flavor and pizzazz in their drinks, but you know what they really need is more water… now you can beat water boredom! Your whole family can drink up and health up at the same time!
In this edition of the Trim Healthy Living EZine, we are also sharing with you some delicious recipes where you can use the Trim Healthy Healthy Hydrates in various ways besides just chugging them down as flavored water!
