Improving Outcomes - one case at a time
Dated : 11th February 2015
Misdiagnosis has its consequences. One of the worst consequences are financial stress. Chronic conditions takes a heavy toll on both the health and finances of the patient. The average healthcare costs for someone with one or more chronic illnesses is 5 times greater than someone with none. Also, chronic diseases account for $3 of every $4 spent on healthcare which is nearly $7,900 for every American dealing with a chronic illness. You read this right. Healthy water recipes. You're probably thinking, "Isn't water already healthy?" Yeah, it is. But it can also be pretty boring if that's all you drink. For me, I like to add ingredients to water in order to have it in some flavors that not only taste good, but are good for the body and are refreshing. Water naturally detoxifies the body and also infusing it with fruits and vegetables can add some more healthy bonuses. I found some recipes from bembu.com where they post a lot of healthy tips.
The first one is water infused with strawberries and lime. Both fruits are extremely delicious, as well as nutritious. Strawberries are a great source of anti-oxidants while limes help prevent aging by restoring your hair, nails, and skin. The second one is orange, lemon, and ginger infused water. According to them, oranges keeps your blood circulation healthy, lemon helps with your digestion, and ginger boosts your immune system so this combination works out to be really healthy! To make these delicious water recipes, you slice up all the ingredients into small pieces and put them in the bottom of whatever container you use. Fill it with ice and water. Let it steep for at least thirty minutes (to let all the great flavors mix together) and then enjoy cold. If it's in a big container, you can always use the same fruits/vegetables again until they're all juiced out! Here's how they look below:
