Chia Seeds: For centuries Chia Seeds have been used because of their high nutritional value.  All that chia seeds have to offer, changed my diet, while adding some life to plain snacks. Chia seeds are rich in Protein, Iron, Dietary Fiber and Calcium.

You can even add chia seeds in your water. Possibilities are endless when it comes to chia seeds. A little sprinkle of seeds can go a long way.

Infused Water: Never underestimate the power water. Water is taken for granted. People argue that water is bland, and they would rather drink a can of soda instead of purchasing a bottle of water. For many people it is a struggle to have 8 cups in one day. Unless you’re engaged in activities throughout the day, it’s less likely that you will have your daily ounces.

One way you can change the lack of water in your life is by adding flavor to it. Fruits don’t only have to be eaten. You can use them in your water and receive twice as many nutrients. Infused water is simple to make and tasteful to drink. Infused water can be made with any kind of fruit. All you have to do is take your fruit of choice slice it up and let it sit in a jug for an hour or two. Immediately you will see the water changing color and the water acquire the taste of fruits.  When making infused water feel free to add more than one fruit. The simplest and most common form of infused water is Lemon and strawberries.

Infused water provides more than taste. It provides your daily needs of Vitamin and minerals. When adding certain ingredients, Infused water can be used as a way to detox. Most important of all infused water will effortlessly keep you hydrated.

Green Tea: The best ways to nurture your body is through natural supplements. Tea is the simplest drink to make and it provides countless antioxidants. Although many prefer three cups of coffee a day in order to stay awake, replace a cup of coffee with a cup of tea. Slowly you will begin to see changes in your body.

The best part about tea is the variety of flavors. Whether you love green tea or chamomile tea, every tea provides its specific beneficial factor for your body. Tea provides physical and internal health. The most common and accessible tea to find is Green Tea.
