Benefits to Drinking Infused Water
Nutrition Information
Since infusing water with fruit is something that tends to be done at home, it’s difficult to find standard nutrition information. While flavor is imparted through the inclusion of fruit, the water itself does not typically take on high levels of nutrients, vitamins, or minerals through the infusion process. If you squeeze the fruit to release juice, more vitamins and minerals may be released, but further research is required.
Health Benefits of Infused Water
The main benefits of drinking infused water come from the simple fact that it’s water. Adequate hydration is absolutely key to being healthy. By infusing tasty flavors, many people tend to drink more water. Infusion can thus be a way to make water more appealing.
A one-cup serving of fruit-infused water typically contains:
Calories: 0
Protein: 0 grams
Fat: 0 grams
Carbohydrates: 0 grams
Dehydration Prevention
Many people regularly experience mild dehydration because of their busy schedules. However, it’s important to remember that dehydration can become a serious health issue. Severe dehydration can lead to side effects like diarrhea, vomiting, fever, heat injury, seizures, and more.
Weight Loss
If you’re turning to sugary drinks for your flavored beverages, consider replacing them with infused water to instantly reduce your sugar/carb intake and help you achieve sustainable weight loss. Water in general is also known to help with weight loss by contributing to feelings of fullness.
