Consuming water as per the body’s requirement is one of the easiest ways to keep oneself healthy. Drinking adequate water has many benefits as it helps maintain a good metabolic rate and also the blood pressure levels. But drinking plain water can feel boring sometimes. So, what can you do to help both your gut health and taste buds?
Functional training coach Vijay Menon suggested this easy tweak which can help you have “enough water”.
“Approximately two-thirds of the adult human body is made of water. And did you know your tissues and organs are mainly made up of water. If you are bored of drinking water or don’t drink enough water, add some spices or herbs in it to enhance the taste and the aroma along with enhanced benefits,” he said.
Here’s how.

Ginger
Mint leaves
Pepper
Sea salt
