Make Your Own Fruit Water

You know the advice: Drink eight glasses of water each day to help you lose weight. But getting all that water down can be a drag. And flavored bottled waters often contain extra calories, sodium, and artificial sweeteners. Solutions? Make your own fruit-flavored water.

At Atlanta’s Four Seasons hotel, Executive Chef Robert Gerstenecker helps guests rehydrate after workouts with refreshing citrus water. You can make a pitcher and keep it in the fridge for up to five days.
The following is the recipe:

16 cups (1 gallon) water
2 Large Lemons, sliced
1 large orange, sliced

Instructions:
1. Combine water with fruits slices in a large pitcher and chill 1-2 hours.
2. Strain out fruit after 2 hours. Pour water into large glass and serve.
Enjoy!!

When do you work out?

According to the Journal of Applied Physiology, most people exercise best late in the day. To study how the body’s internal clock affects athletic performance, researchers put 25 swimmers on a wacky sleep schedule for 55 hours and measured their performance when they swam. The swimmers did better in the afternoon and into the evening, finally peaking at 11 pm. – but they plummeted between 2 and 8 A.M. “Even with too little sleep or not having eaten before exercising, your body will produce this rhythm naturally and peak late in the day,” says study author Chris Klein.

So don’t pass up a workout even if you’re flagging come 6 P.M. – you may have a few circuits in you yet. Amazingly, even if you are feeling tired and not that thrilled with the idea of getting in some exercise, you might just be suprised at how your body responds.
