About the challenge

[edit | edit source]

According to the National Resources Defence Council, 90 percent of what we pay for a bottle of water goes toward packaging, shipping, and advertising, and many bottles wind up in landfills, where they might take thousands of years to decompose. Plus, if you're going to buy flavoured waters, they could be bulked up with added colours, sugars, and other unhealthy agents, which actually go a long way in causing more harm than good to our bodies.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Getting rid of soda, juice, and bottled water by taking the time to learn how to make easy, low-cost, nutritious and refreshing flavoured water; by using any fresh fruit (Bananas excluded). Water is so important because our bodies constitute about 70% of it.

Water plays a key role in transporting nutrients and oxygen to every cell in our bodies and it keeps every cell hydrated in order to keep our bodies fit. This process particularly affects the skin, as skin is the largest organ, thus when you are dehydrated your skin also is dehydrated. As such, improve your health with this easy to make recipes and once again start enjoying the natural process of drinking water.
