It is really shocking that on one hand people are dying in absence of water in many developing countries and on the other hand many of us in developed countries are spoilt. Generally plain old water appears to be boring but to stay healthy we need to drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses every day.  So most people would prefer to make water that taste pleasant enough to make them want to drink enough to stay healthy.

To make it easier, a good number of people add some amount of flavor that can help them drink more. People can buy water with added flavour at the store. Of course, a large number of people believe it is one of the most expensive items in the grocery store.The given ideas for water exclude using lot of sugar or expanding a lot of money.

If you are one of the many who want to stay away from chemicals or additives that are artificial as well as caffeine, here are some natural ways to add flavor to your water:

• A slice of lemon or
• A small portion of a delicious fruit
• Some type of unsweetened cranberry juice concentrate
• A piece of cucumber
• A mint leaf 

If you approve of artificial sweeteners try adding:

• A little light cranberry juice
• A reputed sugar-free mix or Crystal Light
• Lemonade and/or limeade by adding a bit of juice
Among these flavors are added to club soda, seltzer water, or diet tonic water.
• Buy sparkling waters and add flavors. (A large assortment of calorie free flavors to flavor sparkling water to great taste is sold at http://allfreightfree.com)

Water is made fruit-flavored by FlavorSplash.  Recently a number of slightly flavored waters have come on the market – bottled by numerous companies.Some are exceptional and some have mixed flavors that really don’t give a good taste (in fact, some are quite awful).

I discovered one that is capable of making water tasty.A teaspoon of honey is to be mixed with a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar and enough hot water should be added to melt the honey. Make a gallon by adding water with stirring. First chill then drink. (Apple-cider vinegar improves your overall health.)
