Why water infusion: Unlike boiling, blending or juicing where fruit/vege nutrients are made more complex by the “not so gentle treatment”, water infusion is subtle, very gentle and gradual, thus preserving the pristine nature of the nutrients from the fruit/veges.

Why Fruit Infused Water?

Why not just drink juice? Several reasons:

Better Flavor

I personally prefer the subtle flavors of infused water to the over-sweet flavor of most juices. Unlike juice, the flavor is gentle and very refreshing.

Less Sugar

Most fruit juice also contains a lot of sugar. Even without added sugar, juice is a source of naturally occurring sugars and it is better to consume fruit whole so that you get the fiber, which helps slow down sugar absorption.

Hydration

Fruit Infused waters contain much of the flavor (or more) of fruit juices, without the sugar, making it easier to drink more of them. Most people enjoy the taste of fruit waters, making them more likely to drink more water and they are an easy way to add variety to regular water.

You may add flower petals or use coconut water too: http://www.buzzfeed.com/melissaharrison/fruit-infused-waters#.fkqa9DKnr

Happy holidays, Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Hydrating!
