by Chrystal Caruthers
It’s normal to feel sluggish after the holidays. Carb-heavy foods, cocktails and desserts add pounds and wear us down. But it’s a
new year and time for a new you. Let’s get back to basics starting with the most vital element of all, water. Whether trendy “Detox
Water” will help you lose belly fat or cleanse your kidneys is up for debate. Drinking more water, however, is always a good idea.
Fresh fruit and herbs can up the flavor and give you a healthy alternative to soda. Just seeing the colorful fresh fruit in a pitcher
of water will make you grab it every time you open the refrigerator. Any combination of fruit, water and herbs will work. This is a
great starter recipe to whet your whistle.
