Sun Tea
One of the best things you can do for yourself is drink plenty of water. Your body is about 98% water. Water is essential for just about every physiological process that takes place in your body. Water has been shown to support weight loss. It’s filling, satisfying, and simply good for you! LOL! With all of that, I am amazed at how little water most women consume on a daily basis. When we talk about it, these women often tell me that “water is boring” or “it has to have flavor.” If you are one of these women, let me share with you a great “trick” for increasing your water consumption: Sun Tea.
SunTea is super easy to prepare. All you do is take two tea bags of whatever kind of tea you prefer and put them in a quart pitcher and fill it with water. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for several hours (overnight is optimal) and voila! sun tea! The proper way of doing this is to take a tea bag put it in a glass pitcher filled with water and set it out in the sun.
I make quarts of sun tea that I store in my refrigerator. This takes absolutely no time at all and I can enjoy it anytime and anywhere and it costs me only pennies (for the tea bags) to prepare. I fill water bottles and bring them to work with me to enjoy throughout the workday. So much healthier for you than drinking those carbonated diet drinks or high-fructose corn syrup sweetened sodas.
I like green teas and herbal teas. If you have never tried it, you might check out tulsi tea (holy basil). It’s caffeine-free, delicious, and tulsi has well known restorative benefits. If you like green tea, Arizona sells tea bags of green tea with ginseng and honey jasmine. Delicious with just a pinch of stevia or your favorite sweetener.
