Is fruit-infused water healthy for you?

Fruit-infused water provides many health benefits, including acting as a healthier substitute for sugary, high-calorie sodas and other beverages. Staying hydrated by drinking water promotes weight loss, improves cognition, prevents headaches, relieves indigestion and helps overall mood.

People who drink plenty of water may experience improvement in the quality of their skin, which tends to wrinkle and dry out when individuals become dehydrated. Water acts as a natural moisturizer for the skin.

Many people don't drink enough water throughout the day, and adding fruit such as kiwis, limes, grapes or strawberries can provide enough flavor to help people meet their daily quota of water. Depending on the fruits used, infused water is a good source of natural antioxidants and vitamins, which make up approximately 20 percent of natural fruit juice.
