Besides delicious taste of fruit infused water and the artsy pictures that you can post of it on social media, putting fruit in your water can have a lot of health benefits. By putting certain fruits in your water, you can lower your risk of diabetes, obesity, the common cold, the flu and heart disease. Adding fruit to your water can help also help your digestive system, strengthen your immune system and get rid of toxins. Fruit water can also decrease your risk of developing cancer.

Fruit infused water can also help maintain your youth. Rather than spending money on anti-aging creams, putting fruit in your water can slow down the aging process. Because fruit contains powerful antioxidants and increases collagen production, it allows you to look and feel younger, leaving your skin silky smooth.

Fruit water can also increase your metabolism and help you maintain a healthy body weight; it doesn’t contain the calories of soft drinks, but it is more fulfilling than plain water. Because there are so many vitamins in fruit, putting fruit in your water can leave you feeling more energetic. Basically, it’s a healthy drink that can help satisfy your sweet tooth. Of course, different types of fruit have different health benefits.

1. Lemon

Putting lemon in your water helps aid digestion and freshen your breath. It also helps detox your liver.

2. Grape

Grapes are notorious for containing cancer fighting compounds.

3. Orange

Oranges help with healthy blood circulation. They are also a valuable source at vitamin C and reduce the risk of stroke.

4. Apple

Apples help maintain bone and tissue health. They are high in iron and low in calories, which is always a plus.

5. Kiwi

Because kiwis contain an enzyme called actinidain, they are great for your skin.

6. Grapefruit

Grapefruit is both great tasting and great at flushing toxins out of your body.

7. Cucumber

Cucumbers hydrate and are good at flushing out toxins.

8. Raspberry

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
