Our lives have become so complicated that something as simple as a glass of water is far from our minds. Water soothes, cleanses, and refreshes us when we are weary and feeling out of sorts. Many times, just by increasing water intake, one will become well again. Start your baby right by getting into the habit of giving her water in a bottle, not just milk or juice all the time. Don t forget to give your children more water on hot days.
Herbal teas are a great alternative to the usual sugary drinks.
Make the tea in the morning by placing two tea bags in a quart jar of boiling water. Let the tea steep for five minutes, remove the tea bags and add a little honey. Set the tea in the refrigerator until cold. Serve to the kids on a sunny afternoon. Add some lemon, lime, or orange slices for a festive-looking beverage.
