Follow These Watering Flavor Tips To Stay hydrated

The dog days of summer are upon us. It’s more important now than ever to stay hydrated. The best way to accomplish this is by drinking lots of water but everyone knows drinking water can be boring.

Healthy Drinks For Being Fit And Losing Weight

The great debate continues on what healthy drinks you should have whether you are trying to lose weight or just be healthy. Huge money is spent on advertising, stop reading for a moment and try to think of the last time you watched a game without a sports drink commercial. If you are trying to lose weight or stay fit then knowing what you are drinking is important. If you’re trying to lose weight, switching to healthy drinks is a good place to start. Not only can you save calories by never drinking sweetened drinks but cutting out the sugar contents will help you keep your insulin levels down and prevent sugars in your body from turning into fat.

Healthy Coffee Recipes That Taste Great

Healthy Coffee Recipes That Taste Great Count On More Than The Bean

If you think you can never make a cup of coffee as good as the ones at four bucks or plumkins I’m here to tell you that’s wrong. Save your money for something fun and follow these steps to make a great cup of joe in the morning. Be sure to try one of the healthy coffee recipes at the bottom.

You do not need to spend $250 on a coffee maker

But you should buy the best one you can afford. Coffee makers that can grind their own beans seem to make a better tasting coffee. However, I have switched to the Kuerig and I have to be honest, I think they make a fantastic cup of coffee. And I did not buy the most expensive. In fact, I bought it on Amazon for $135. I have my favorite recipe for a cup below. I have spent $5 on a large coffee and have never found it as good as the one I make every morning.
One last thought to share. For years I used a French Press and I can honestly say you can’t find a better cup of coffee. Takes more effort and time but you can pick up a Press for under $20!
