Sip In Style With These Fresh Citrus Infused Waters

by Inspired H. on June 04, 2018 Updated on November 16, 2018

Everyone knows it’s important to drink water. But do you know why? Water is clinically proven to improve mood, boost energy, promote weight loss, detox organs, reduce muscle fatigue and rev metabolism. Still, most of us don’t get enough. Experts recommend a daily intake of around 92 ounces for women and 124 ounces for men.

That’s a lot of H2O! And in our humble, hydrated opinion, it goes down a lot easier when it’s infused with fresh, juicy flavors and served from a gorgeous glass vessel. Fill up a carafe now, and see how much better you feel once you’ve drained it dry.
