Although making fruit infused water sounds fancy, it is pretty straightforward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make this drink, all you need is your fruit of choice, a glass of water, and a pitcher. Next, wash your fruits, slice them, then immerse them in the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/mint-water\/\">water<\/a>. Let the fruit soak in the pitcher for at least four hours to absorb the fruity flavors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some can be soaked overnight while others need only one to two hours.

Plain water can be boring. To help with this, experts suggest <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/benefits-of-coconut-water-for-men\/\">infusing<\/a> your water with fruits such as oranges or lime wedges. These enhance the flavor and encourage more water consumption (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/health-benefits-infused-water\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dehydration_Prevention\"><\/span><b>Dehydration Prevention<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking fruit infused water prevents dehydration because it encourages you to drink enough water.

To help your immune system to function at its best, you can consume more foods rich in vitamin C. Luckily, most fruits that are used to make fruit infused water are rich in <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/water-chestnut-benefits\/\">vitamin C<\/a>. Some of them include oranges, lemons, and limes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Medical News Today, one lime provides at least 9.5 mg of vitamin C (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/322556\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Besides a strong immune system, drinking lime water regularly is believed by some to also shorten the duration of colds and flu, but there isn\u2019t much evidence to support this (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/322556\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rich_Nutritional_Profile\"><\/span><b>Rich Nutritional Profile<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other benefit of drinking fruit infused water is acquiring essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavonoids, and other healthy compounds. For example, when you drink lemon water, you acquire plenty of antioxidants (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/318662\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, lemon water contains flavonoids that may reduce inflammation in the body (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/health-benefits-infused-water\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Similarly, one of the orange water benefits is the provision of the powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-to-get-rid-of-water-retention-overnight\/\">antioxidant vitamin C<\/a> which supports immune function. Vitamin C is also essential for functions such as wound healing and iron absorption from plant-based foods (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/318662\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supports_Cancer_Treatment\"><\/span><b>Supports Cancer Treatment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many individuals who are undergoing cancer treatment struggle to stay hydrated. To make these patients drink enough water, several cancer centers have recommended drinking fruit-infused water.

Food experts have recommended that half of your plate be filled with fruits and veggies only.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Citrus fruits may be incredibly effective in preventing heart disease and its complications, perhaps because they are high in the antioxidant vitamin C. However, more research must confirm how these citrus fruits might reduce heart disease risk (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/322556\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/list-of-foods-that-cause-water-retention\/\">List Of Foods That Cause Water Retention<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Fruit_Infused_Water_Benefits\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44398 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207617-1024x576.png\" alt=\"fruit infused water benefits\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207617.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207617-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207617.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207617-1635x920.png 1635w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207617.png 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dangers_Of_Infused_Water\"><\/span><b>Dangers Of Infused Water<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, some potential risks are associated with drinking fruit-infused water despite being deemed safe for consumption, even in large quantities. It is worth noting these potential risks so that you may determine how to address them if they occur. They include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_Poisoning\"><\/span><b>Food Poisoning<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the \u201cobvious\u201d things often cause food poisoning in many cases. Preventative measures include washing your hands before preparing, thoroughly washing your fruits, or storing the drink in a sealed jar in the fridge (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/health-benefits-infused-water\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Although they sound obvious, most people often overlook them, perhaps when in a rush.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tooth_Enamel_Erosion\"><\/span><b>Tooth Enamel Erosion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking at most water-infused recipes, you will discover that most use citrus fruits like oranges, limes, and lemons. Unfortunately, this category of fruits wears away the tooth enamel due to their high acidity (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/health-benefits-infused-water\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might experience tooth sensitivity or cavities if you frequently drink water infused with citrus fruits. You can address this by infusing your water with other fruits like watermelon or kiwi, or by brushing your teeth after consuming acidic foods and drinks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Store_Bought_Fruit_Infused_Water_Okay\"><\/span><b>Is Store Bought Fruit Infused Water Okay?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, store-bought fruit-infused water often contains extra calories, carbs, and sugars due to the extra ingredients used during manufacturing (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/health-benefits-infused-water\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The safest bet is to make your fruit infused water at home using fresh ingredients, or at least read labels carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you tend to let yourself off the hook, raise the white flag when things get tougher than you expected, send yourself on an unconscious binge-eating trip \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Fruit_Infused_Water_Benefits\">BetterMe app is here to help you<\/a> leave all of these sabotaging habits in the past!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Fruit_Infused_Water_Benefits\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42148 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5824.png\" alt=\"fruit infused water benefits\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5824.png 960w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5824-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5824.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_Okay_To_Drink_Infused_Water_Every_Day\"><\/span><b>Is It Okay To Drink Infused Water Every Day?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, drinking fruit infused water has been determined safe, even in large quantities. However, several health risks are associated with drinking fruit-infused water that must be considered. For example, infused water prepared with citrus fruits like oranges might be linked to tooth sensitivity and cavities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, in light of this, it is safe to say that you must drink infused water with citrus fruits in moderation. Additionally, remember to practice good food hygiene to reduce the risk of food poisoning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking fruit infused water is one of the best ways to increase your daily water consumption, thanks to the fruity flavors. Additionally, other possible fruit-infused water benefits include better immune functioning, weight loss, dehydration prevention, cancer treatment support, and reduced heart disease risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, these drinks have potential risks of food poisoning, tooth sensitivity, and cavities due to enamel erosion. So, it would be best to consult if you are interested in drinking fruit infused water.<\/span><\/p>\n\n    <section class=\"ad-single-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-title-wrapper\">\n            <h3 class=\"ad-single-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_personalized\"><\/span>Get your personalized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n            <span class=\"ad-single-sub-title color-green\">\n                <svg class=\"icon-sparkle\" width=\"36\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 36 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                          d=\"M34.6837 0.515943C34.8247 0.835947 34.9421 1.16291 34.9891 1.48987C35.1417 2.64466 35.3179 6.51949 35.2592 7.29863C35.2592 7.53515 35.1887 7.7995 35.0243 8.01516C34.7307 8.39777 33.9791 8.4256 33.5681 8.07081C33.4154 7.94559 33.3215 7.77863 33.2745 7.61863C33.1453 7.15254 33.0396 6.68645 32.9809 6.22035C32.8165 4.81512 32.6638 3.40293 32.5581 1.9977C32.5229 1.53161 32.6051 1.05856 32.6991 0.592466C32.7695 0.244637 33.251 -0.0197144 33.6973 0.00115537C34.2257 0.0289818 34.5546 0.230723 34.6837 0.515943ZM18.6184 9.78225C18.5734 9.67557 18.5344 9.57528 18.4971 9.47956C18.4178 9.27568 18.3465 9.09257 18.2426 8.91267C16.7159 6.24133 14.2615 3.86217 11.4665 1.60128C11.1377 1.33693 10.7267 1.08649 10.2687 0.919531C10.0221 0.829095 9.52885 0.843009 9.247 0.933445C9.03562 1.00301 8.88295 1.27432 8.92992 1.42736C9.01213 1.71954 9.18828 2.01868 9.4349 2.28303C11.0555 4.02913 12.6879 5.76829 14.3437 7.50048C14.8308 8.0068 15.3395 8.50887 15.8473 9.01L15.8473 9.01001C15.9883 9.14921 16.1293 9.28833 16.2697 9.42746C16.4811 9.64311 16.7159 9.85181 16.9626 10.0466C17.2327 10.2692 17.6437 10.4014 18.0547 10.2553C18.0691 10.2501 18.0836 10.245 18.0981 10.2399C18.1097 10.2358 18.1213 10.2318 18.1329 10.2278C18.3785 10.1424 18.6184 10.0589 18.6184 9.78225ZM1.98942 20.1407C2.17783 20.1221 2.37674 20.105 2.58175 20.0875C2.99012 20.0525 3.42272 20.0154 3.84492 19.9598C6.34632 19.6259 8.84771 19.292 11.3374 18.9442C11.8776 18.8676 12.406 18.7355 12.8875 18.5824C13.5334 18.3807 13.7566 18.0954 13.6509 17.7824C13.5452 17.4694 13.1224 17.2746 12.3826 17.2676C11.8776 17.2607 11.3374 17.2676 10.8559 17.3372C7.69683 17.8102 4.5378 18.2972 1.3905 18.7911C1.03819 18.8468 0.674137 18.9442 0.404034 19.0833C-0.2771 19.4242 -0.065712 19.9598 0.803314 20.092C1.01858 20.1228 1.25262 20.1258 1.51135 20.1291C1.66195 20.131 1.82092 20.133 1.98942 20.1407Z\"\n                          fill=\"#17B991\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n               meal plan!\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-desc-wrapper\">\n            <p class=\"ad-single-desc\">What's your main health goal?<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Fruit_Infused_Water_Benefits\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Lose weight<\/a>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Fruit_Infused_Water_Benefits\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Feel great<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <img class=\"ad-single-img\" alt=\"health-food\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/health-food.webp\">\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drinking fruit infused water is one of the health trends that has taken the health industry by storm.

Although making fruit infused water sounds fancy, it is pretty straightforward.<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">To make this drink, all you need is your fruit of choice, a glass of water, and a pitcher. Next, wash your fruits, slice them, then immerse them in the <a href=\\\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/mint-water\/\\\">water<\/a>.

Apart from the refreshing mix of fresh and fruity flavors, this drink is also thought to have several health benefits. That is apart from those provided by water alone.
