Stress Reduction Detox Water

I'm sure you know how important it is to both reduce stress AND stay hydrated to stay healthy and keep your metabolism running in top shape... But did you know that dehydration contributes to stress on a cellular level? It's true. Your cells, tissues, and organs need a consistent flow of water to function properly. When your body is starved for water, your organs get "stressed out," and start producing more cortisol--your stress hormone. When cortisol is too high for too long it can act like a corrosive...

Damaging your cells and organs and leading to lots of problems. Fortunately, you can avoid all that by drinking 8 glass of water every day! And to make drinking water, and lowering cortisol, as easy and tasty as possible, I present to you: Stress Reduction Detox Water!

This recipe takes ordinary water and elevates it to a flavorful, antioxidant-rich, nutrition powerhouse that takes the boring out of hydration. What I love most about this recipe is that you can customize it to your personal taste, or to whatever's in season.

Experiment with the flavors and enjoy the increased energy, mental clarity and fluid joints that come with drinking enough water.
