Do You Like The Tase Of Water?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

OK, call me crazy, I'm getting kind of used to it (Lol)
But... I don't like water and yet since PD, a dehydrate so easily and there is too much sugar, real or artificial and too many calories in most everything else. But I found a wonderful alternative for me. I'm now so excited about infused water. It gives me natural sugars, very few calories, servings of fruits and vegetables and I get to play the mad scientist by brewing up my own combinations of fruits, veg and seasonings or spices.

Oh, no one is boring or out of touch- I only know about infused water because Humana sent me a book of recipes for 'making' infused water as 1 possible way to encourage water intake. And... i tried it and it did increase my intake of water by adding a bit of flavor with few to no added calories. I wish I could be more of a purist and just drink water. I live in the country and only have access to well water so I had a water filtration system put on my water tank to make the water safer to drink but I still search for a way to kick up the flavor a bit hear I am complaining about something so basic.
Thanks for calling me on this guys. I am having fun acting as a mad scientist searching for flavor that will make me feel better without taking a pill.
This infusion stuff is just another project with the side effect of actually making me drink more water. My hat is off to those of you who just drink water. I'm working on it.
Anyway- infused water is just a fancy way of adding vegetables, fruits and spices to water and letting the items you select just soak in the water for a couple of hours and add there combined natural flavors to the water which I then drink- no electric devices needed. No magic, just my way of trying to get myself to drink more water without adding sugar, colorings and chemicals.
Sorry if I forgot my roots for a moment and thanks for bringing me back to real life.
Please keep sending me interesting flavor combinations. Sadly, I still need a project and to entice my taste buds to drink water.

Yes I enjoy a cold bottle of water several times a day. Actually ice tea and water is all I drink.
