Bridal Shower

A beautiful beverage server filled with fruits, herbs and/or edible flowers is very eye-catching and can be used as a decorative centerpiece for your shower. For example, if you are hosting a garden party, our Mountain Meadow Spa Water (pg 22 of Spa Water Book) is perfect to serve.

Rehearsal Dinner

Keep your wedding party well-hydrated the night before the wedding by displaying pitchers of Spa Water on each table during the rehearsal dinner. Add ingredients to the water that complement the foods being served that evening. If seafood is the main dish, our Citrus Blend Spa Water(pg 1 of Spa Water Book) is quite refreshing and will provide a boost of Vitamin C that will help keep hangovers away.

Wedding Day

There are so many wonderful themes to select from when planning a wedding. You can choose a season, holiday, color, location, plus much more. We had noticed that Lavender seems to be a popular wedding hue this year! Well, it just so happens that we have a delicious recipe for a Lavender Scented Orange Spa Water (pg 26 of Spa Water Book). If you are hosting a Beach Wedding, then our Watermelon Dew Spa Water (pg 18 of Spa Water Book) makes a perfect addition for outside dining. No matter what theme you choose, be sure to peruse our Spa Water Book and Spa Water App for a little inspiration.

PS- Please note that our Spa Water Book makes a great gift for the bride-to-be. Also, if you are an event planner, personal chef, catering company, hotel, spa or restaurant – you will find that this book is an excellent beverage resource for weddings and other special events.

Real-Housewives-Bethenny Frankel

Real Housewives, Bethenny Frankel, revealed on the Today Show that she’s had an ulcer. “I took an antibiotic pill at night without a full glass of water and it burned a hole in my esophagus,” she said. “I thought I was dying.”

*”Drinking adequate amounts of water daily, including before and after meals can reduce and prevent peptic ulcers “*

An estimated one in ten Americans develops a peptic ulcer at some time in his or her life according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). While many illnesses could be prevented by drinking adequate amounts of water, once ill it is even more crucial to get plenty of fluids. This is why when doctors prescribe medications, the pharmacist will add a note: *Take with plenty of water.*

 Some medications can also dehydrate the body ~

This Excerpt from free drinking water:  When ill, a person needs water more so than when totally healthy. People with a fever, diarrhea or who are vomiting will need greater fluid intake. Many ailments like this can lead to dehydration. So even when taking medication to cure or ease an illness, water still needs to be replenished.

Also, drugs themselves can dehydrate the body . This is because many of the side effects of drugs can cause symptoms like diarrhea. And, in the make-up of the drugs themselves, dehydration may just be a usual symptom. Diuretics, antihistamines, blood pressure medication and steroids can all cause the body to be depleted of water. So, when prescribed these drugs, one should intake more water than the usual required amount.

To look a little further into this, blood pressure drugs like pyridostigmine can be aided by the intake of more water. This is because fluids will help increase the volume of blood. So, coupled with medical treatment, water in this case is a great help.

Since older people usually take more medications, they are also more likely to be in greater need of water. This is why senior citizens should also pay careful attention to their water intake.

Welcoming Special Guests?

It is often thought that the most important ingredient in hosting a party… is the Alcohol.

But offering your guests refreshing “Spa Water” is not only a great way to present a “special” alternative to those who may need one, but making water more aesthetically appealing can encourage important hydration for those who are indulging,  reducing the effects of a hangover.

Thanks to Grammie Jane for writing in and sharing this informative article with us! We love sharing great information about hydration   Pictured here from our Spa Water App is our Orange and Lime Spa Water.    Citrus, such as oranges and limes contain many heart-healthy nutrients such as Vitamin C, folate, pectin, potassium and phytochemicals. Adding citrus to ordinary water naturally infuses whole food nutrition that gives water a powerful boost of vitamins, nutrients and flavor, providing healthy hydration that is perfect in every way!

Heart Attack and Water

I asked my Doctor why people urinate (pee) so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor – “Gravity holds water in the lower part of you body when you are upright. When you lie down and the lower body (legs and other things) seek to level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier.”

I understood that you needed to drink water to help flush toxins out of
your body, but the following information was news to me. Here is some
additional information that my doctor had recommended:

What is the correct time to drink water?

Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:

·         2 glasses of water after waking up – helps activate internal organs

·         1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion

·         1 glass of water before taking a bath – helps lower blood pressure

·         1 glass of water before going to bed – avoids stroke or heart attack

He also noted that water at bed time will help prevent muscles cramping which can wake you up with an unwanted “Charlie Horse”.
