Drink To Your Skin Health!

Of course we have all heard that drinking pure water is good for the body. Another little known fact is that our body assimilates liquid more efficiently from foods or liquids that contain properties that allow our system to grab and hold on to the molecules. The hydration from eating an apple or watermelon and other fruits and veggies is better "taken up" into the system than pouring water from a bottle. One great drink you can make at home as a "cocktail" after work is :
4-8 oz. of Sparkling Water
grated fresh ginger ( a small bud, skin removed)
a slice of fresh lemon
1/8 tsp. of cayenne pepper
Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory, lemon is antibacterial , and the cayenne is great for vascular health. All these things add up to prettier, healthier. skin!
