Bored with plain water
That’s Right – I’m Bored with Drinking Water…
I *know* that drinking room temperature water, and loads of it, is the one of the best things you can do for your body. And I *know* that because nutrition is my job, and I do practice what I preach. But, to be quite honest, I’m completely sick of drinking plain ole’ water. In fact, I’m so bored with it, I’m thinking about drinking a soda. Okay – I’m not that far gone yet.
Instead, I’ve started to drink Tulsi Tea (also known as holy basil) . I heat up the water, and prepare it just like regular tea. Tulsi is an adaptogenic herb that is perfect for people who are dealing with a lot of stress in their lives. In fact, all adaptogenic herbs are good for stressed out folks.
My favorite place to get Tulsi Tea is www.OrganicIndia.com – they have like 40 different flavors. My faves are sweet rose and passion fruit. I add a little Sweet Leaf Vanilla Liquid Stevia, and it is delicious!

Hi Rose and the gang!
Want to make water fun again AND do your body even better?
Add some clean, mineral-rich salt and lemon to your water and LOOK OUT! You will detox faster, uptake nutrients better, get more alkalized, fend off false-hunger, prevent energy slumps, lose weight, look younger, fill out your muscles, etc.
80% of people are chronically dehydrated, show obvious signs of it and still claim that they “don’t like water”. Why? Because they are deficient in salt and minerals which allow absorption of water to occur at the cellular level.
Without enough salt/minerals your body will literally not be able to use much water and therefore stop craving it – to your detriment.
Adding a pinch of clean, mineral-rich salt to your bottle of water will not only taste good but your body will love you for it!
See, natural salt (and the trace minerals within) increase waters ‘wetting angle’ which means that your cells can absorb water easier.
Typically after beginning to drink water with a bit of salt, my friends and clients find that their water consumption goes way up along with their energy, attitude and they begin shedding pounds effortlessly.
What’s super important to recognize is that since your body is biologically blueprinted to be made up of 80% water – then allowing chronic dehydration to occur leads to an enormous amount of preventable/reversible symptoms and conditions including: fatigue, false hunger, joint pain, poor toxins elimination, constipation, dry skin, etc.
The worst being low energy caused by toxic accumulation. Because usually when your body has no vehicle (water) to transport toxins out it will make you low on energy.
Another thing that water transports is the vital nutrients to your cells. So if nutrients can’t get there – then your body believes it’s starving and this leads to over consumption. Plus, even if you force yourself to drink lots of water – if your cells are low on salt and minerals – then the water (and the nutrients being carried) cannot enter your cells. This causes us to reach for quick-energy foods (like sugar) and end up overeating.
Here’s what I started using 2 years ago and it has totally rocked my world. Sunfire Salt. It is THE cleanest salt in the world that I could find.

Rich in natural trace minerals for rapid water absorption which means faster detoxing and better nutrient uptake.
I hope this helps.
