Drink Up! Healthiful Balance Guest Post
Hi! My name is Shannon and I own the blog “Healthiful Balance”. I blog about my life in Germany, food, health and fitness. I’m so excited to be guest posting for Savannah today because I really enjoy reading her blog! So thank you to Savannah for giving me the opportunity to guest post! =)
When I was younger, I though water was boring, unimportant and hardly ever drunk any. I preferred juice or milk over water all the time. Now that I’m older, I realize how important it is and how even though it’s pretty much tasteless; it has many great health benefits!

Health Benefits of Water:
· Clears your skin and makes it glow.
· It helps flush out all the toxins from your body.
· Helps you stay hydrated.
· Boosts your metabolism.
· Regulates body temperature
· Reduces the risk of cancer
· Helps your digestion
· Protects and moisturizes joints
So, as you can see, water is really important and helps keep us healthy!

I don’t mind drinking water plain, but I know a lot of people have trouble drinking enough water because it has no flavor.
Here are some great ways to make your water taste better!
· Add a little bit of lemon juice and stevia. It’ll taste just like lemonade!
· Add some cucumbers to a bottle of water and leave it in the fridge overnight. So refreshing!
· Use water mixes (For example: Crystal Light, K2O Protein Water Mix ..)
· Drink green tea
What are your favorite ways to add some flavor to water?

i try to drink 5-6 cups a day!!
Nice job!
In the summer, I have this really great water made with cucumbers, orange circles, lemon and lime circles, and sometimes grape fruit circles. It tastes so good!
i LOVE drinking water in the summer. it is in the cold weather that I have trouble
I drink like 3+ liters of water a day!! I drink it plain usually (with a lot of ice), but sometimes I add lemon to it.
Oh wow! That is awesome!
I am so bad at drinking water unless I’m really really thirsty. Crystal light packets are my savior.
same here!
I love green tea. And water (especially with ice in the summer) is so refreshing!
I love the taste of water! It definitely has a taste to me. I really don’t like flavored drinks anymore because water is just so crisp and clean!
Great post! I need to work on my water intake, so this was a must read for me right now
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great guest post! Loved reading it.

Hey Savannah! Thanks for the follow, your blog looks fabulous.
Thanks for the guest post – I drink a LOT of water throughout the day. I’ve got a lovely PUMA water bottle that I carry around wherever I go – I end up having to go to the toilet practically every 30 minutes or something! XD
Great post! I LOVE both of your blogs!
