Infused Water vs Juicing

Tu hari ada adik sorang ni emel

Hai Sara!

Hihi. Saja nak hai - walhal dia kata dia pun bc blog ni on off. Hihi.

Ekceli dah jawab pun emel adik ni.

Tapi, takpe lah. Ada juga idea buat entry kan.

Tak tahu pernah buat atau tidak entry infused water nih. But then, oke je. Saya suka. Sbb tahun ni sememangnya saya berazam untuk menulis sesuatu yang lebih berfaedah kepada orang - yg boleh jadi 'inspired'. (tup tup, rasa 'sucked' kejap sbb blog kena blocked. Grrrr!)

Alhamdulillah, ada juga beberapa kawan2, reader yg emel berminat nak tahu pasal juicing semua ni. Begitu jugak kawan2 ofis. Ramai tak tanya direct ngan aku, tp tanya ngan myDH. Haha. Takpe. Takpe.. saya tak marah. Tanya je dia - tapi, kengkadang dia tak tahu pun apa yg saya mix n match kan. Dia tahu terhidang je dah. Kadang tanya dia nak taruk asam boi ke tak. Tu je. Huhu.

So, infused water and juicing.

Oke, ni ada artikel berkaitan.

What is Infusing Water?

Infusing water is the practice of putting whole fruits, vegetables, and/or herbs into water!

Water is extremely important for sustaining our lives, and we can’t live very long without it! Even the smallest parts in our bodies, cells, can only function properly with the help of water! This is why infusing water with fruits, herbs, and vegetables can be most beneficial to our health. Fruit and Herb infused water provides us with hydration and the nutrients our bodies need.

Health Benefits of Infusing Water:

1. Hydration. Drinking plain water is pretty boring for some. Infusing fruits into your water can make drinking water a little more fun! The more you drink, the better hydrated your body will be.

2. Detoxification. The water and the fruit in infused water work together to cleanse your body of toxic buildup. This will also give your immune system a little boost from any toxins that were working against it.

3. Less Sugar. Infused water has no additive sugars like sodas, and juices. The sugar in the water comes naturally from the fruit or herbs you put inside. Perfect for those who are watching their sugar intake!

4. More Nutrition. Infused Water has many more nutrients inside that regular water! Because you include the rinds and peels of fruits in the water, you reap the benefits of the high levels of antioxidants and nutrients in the peels.

Tak sama sebenarnya juicing n infused water ni. Tapi memasing ada benefit. Lagi satu, infused water ni kurang gula (takde pun kot) berbanding juicing, sbb juicing ni kita still dapat gula dari buah tu sendiri.

Sebenar, infused ni more to drink water. Kalau cam setengah orang kan dia tak suka minum air kosong takde rasa apa apa kan, ha, infused water ni lah idea terbaik. Taruk hirisan lemon, taruk timun ke, atau apa2 yg kita suka lah. Boleh google resepi 

Contoh cam ini lah

Dari kita follow insta artis yg asyik selfie atau artis yg rasa dia je paling haibat, paling bertuah tu kan, adalah lebih baik kita follow lah instagram camni. Seronok tau. Kita pun rasa inspired. Hihihiw.

Dan juicing pulak.

What is Juicing?

Juicing is the process of extracting and separating juice from their fruits and vegetables.

Juices are perfect for getting the variety of nutrients and vitamins that your bodies need! If you don’t enjoy the taste of a certain vegetable, try juicing it with a fruit that might complement its flavor. Now you’ll enjoy that vegetable that you never liked the taste for while supplying your body with a nutritious juice!

Health Benefits of Juicing:

1. Variety. Juicing makes it fun to eat a variety of different kinds of fruits and vegetables! Eating a variety is important to make sure you’re getting all the nutrients and vitamins your body needs.

2. Easy Digestion. Fresh juice requires little digestion, so the digestive system doesn’t need to work too hard to distribute the nutrients into your body.

3. Quick Nutrient Distribution. Because the fruits and veggies are in liquid form, it is easier for the nutrients and vitamins to be distributed throughout the body.

4. Good Source of Nutrients. Juice provides the body with many antioxidants which improve the immune system immensely.

Lagi satu, infused water ni mudah. Letak semalaman dalam peti ais, then esok bawak sahaja ke opis. Kalau terlupa pun, pagi tu boleh sediakan, dan bawak ke ofis. Setakat ni saya baru buat lemon+timun, lemon+mint leaves. Oke je mint leaves tu, bukan nak suruh kau kunyah kan..ada la rasa fresh gitew.

So. gitu lah. Infused water pun ada benefits, juicing pun ada. 

Dan kalau percaya pada supplement, takyah la susah2 consume kot semua ni. Telan ja pil tu - abis citer. Hihi. Masih sentap nampakkk....????

Oke lah. Tu je dulu untuk infused water. This week, mungkin saya akan keluarkan juicing challenge edisi saya. Beserta resepi, benefit nya dan memacam lah. Mari kita sesama sihat - makan secara sihat - bukan secara menyekat !

Eat Clean, Eat Healthy : Infused Water

Contoh infused water.

Why infused water?

But why infuse water with fruit, herbs or flowers you ask? The answer is simple. By improving the flavour with a healthy option, it’s an easier way to achieve your recommended daily amounts. By adding fruits and herbs you are including essential vitamins. The most common flavours used are cucumber, mint, basil and citrus fruits. But feel free to use your imagination to produce a flavour to suit you!
Although there are many flavoured waters on supermarket shelves, producing your home made drink is cost effective and far healthier. Most infused waters available at supermarkets include preservatives, artificial sweeteners and colourings, sodium, sacralise sucrose, dextrose, high fructose corn syrup and refined sugar. Now do you think it’s time to produce your own?

Nak weight loss? Minum banyak air. Tapi tak suka atau tak lalu minum banyak air. So, infused water is the solutions. Baca nih. Kredit to : http://fruitinfusedwaters.com/infused-water-for-weight-loss/

Which fruit infused water is best for weight loss? The answer is: the one you will drink the most. When it comes to weight loss, more water is better and the goal is to drink as much as you can. Drinking infused water for weight loss is one of the easiest habits you can have to help you lose weight without a lot of effort.
Here are 7 tips for drinking more water:
#Drink a large glass of water before every meal, NO EXCUSES. This is one of the easiest rules to follow when it comes to weight loss and it’s also the most important. You must stay hydrated.
#Drink your first glass of water within 15 minutes of waking. Put a large full glass of water on your bed stand every night and drink it when you wake up in the morning.
#Have a pitcher of fruit infused water in your refrigerator at all times. Keeping a large pitcher of fruit infused water available will encourage you to want to drink more water. Plus, the vitamins and nutrients that the fruit adds to the water will provide an additional healthy boost.
#Buy a travel infused water bottle. A lot of people have reported their amount of daily water intake went way up when they got a travel water infuser. It’s convenient to take it to work, school, the gym, or on the road – it’s an easy and convenient way to drink more infused water. #My favorite is the stylish and portable AdnArt fruit infusion water bottle.
#Hungry and want a snack? Go drink two 8 oz glasses of water and wait 15 minutes. If you are still hungry than your body needs food and you should have a healthy snack, if not good for you! You just saved yourself some calories, use that surplus to enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner or to shave  200 calories or more off your daily total.
#Decaffeinated tea counts!! Going to Starbucks with your friends? Order a decaf tea!! You can count it as water and your beverage will be zero calories. Most independent coffee houses have their own specialty teas. Once I had a coconut tea that it was so delicious and much better than my husband’s 500+ calorie coffee drink!
#Try more recipes! We have our own fruit infused water book: Fruit Infusions has over lots of recipes for cold and hot infused water recipes. This book adds lots of variety to your fruit water recipe collection.
Once you start drinking a gallon a day you will notice you are more thirsty and will crave it, your body will help you along if you can stick to it for a week or two. Our bodies need water to stay cool and hydrated, you will also notice clearer skin, stronger hair and nails and best of all water fills you up and it is zero calories!

Memacam simple resepi ada.

Let's try. 

Eat Healthy, Eat Clean.

Ke arah hidup yang lebih sihat.

Pesanan penaja :
Ada orang kata kurus tu sihat.
Ada orang kata gemuk tak sihat.
Sebenarnya, terpulang pada apa kita makan. Kurus tapi makan ikut suka hati pun tak guna gak kan. Ada yg berisi pun, elok je dia makan teratur pastu amalkan healthy lifestyle. Lagi bagus kut dari si kurus tu.
So, semuanya berpada pada lah kan :)
