Dehydration causes a variety of unpleasant symptoms. One possible symptom of dehydration is swelling and distension of the belly. Remedy? Drink more water.
Mix-it-up and add some variety to your hydration routine by making your water yummy!
Also, my children (ages 7 and 2) love these drinks. The below mixes are a superior option to the typical fruit drink, soda drink, etc. which is concentrated sugar.
- Lemon (1 slice per 8 ounces), ground up ginger (to your taste), a dash / sprinkle of cayenne, 1 tablespoon of honey -this will help reduce nausea (for those of you possibly experiencing nausea during your pregnancy), reduce inflammation and increase circulation
- Fresh / frozen strawberries and basil will help detox your body to make your fabulously refreshed
- Citrus slices, it only takes 1-2 slices of lime, lemon or oranges per 8 ounces of water to sweeten your pallet
- Mint and cucumber, really -it is good!
- Fresh / frozen raspberries, and if you are a fan of mint they tend to compliment each other and are a great source of antioxidants
- Don't forget -Ice Chips Go a Long Way! They give our water some much needed bite from time-to-time
- Avoid seltzer water as it is limited hydration and the phosphorus is not healthy for our bones
