It's summertime and the season of sunshine, humidity and all things that make one sweat (which is GREAT for the body by the way) is upon us. Therefore, it's a good time to re-think water cooler usage. After all, the warm seasons offer great incentive for human beings to detox from not only a winter's worth of junk food, but to re-gain energy and body vigor as well. We all know that it's not good to hover over a computer for long anyway. While it might have been cozy to huddle up in a blanket and search Google all winter long, it's not a particularily healthy habit, nor does it do anything to help maintain the main engine that carries our souls around. If one has been feeling sluggish lately, chances are a good seasonal flush will work wonders on a stagnant physical body. And that's where a few creative tips can make the chore of drinking 8 glasses a day, a bit more fun. So here's a small list of creative ways to use your water cooler this summer:
1) Make Water Cooler Fruit Popsicles. Chop kiwi, strawberries, blueberries and melons into pieces small enough to fill a 8 piece popsicle holder. Pour 3/4 grape juice and 1/4 water from your water cooler up to the top of the holder, pop in a stick and freeze.
2) Grab a spritz of mint from the garden, slice up a lemon and use a 'cold ice tea' bag. Cold ice tea bags are just like using hot tea bags, only you don't need the hot water. Just drop a bag into your glass, fill it with water from your water cooler and wha-la - instant iced tea with healthy lemon to detox your liver, while you sip away to your heart's content.
3) Jazz up your water cooler water by inviting over a few musician friends. If Masaro Emoto can change water crystals with thought, your musician buddies can tune the water to vibrate to your favorite oldies. Kick back, hear the music and then swallow it down. And then call us in the morning and tell us if you don't feel a big difference in the way you look at life. Who wouldn't feel good with 'We'll sing in the Sunshine...or Love is In The Air' flowing through their veins?
PS - Don't forget to keep the cat & dog bowls full this summer!
