How to Drink Flat Tummy Water for Best Results
Drinking flat tummy water is easy, refreshing, and a great way to stay hydrated with a flavorful twist. But to get the most out of it, timing and consistency matter.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Make It the Night Before
- Prep your infused water in a pitcher or mason jar.
- Let it chill in the fridge overnight so the flavors and nutrients infuse fully.
2. Drink It First Thing in the Morning
- Start your day with a glass on an empty stomach.
- This helps kickstart your metabolism, rehydrate your body after sleep, and support digestion.
3. Sip Throughout the Day
- Instead of guzzling it all at once, spread your intake throughout the day.
- Aim for at least 4–6 cups (about 1–1.5 liters) per day.
4. Replace Sugary Drinks
- Use flat tummy water as a healthy alternative to soda, juice, or sweetened iced tea.
- It keeps you hydrated without added sugar or calories.
5. Reinfuse or Refresh
- Once you’ve used up the water, you can add more fresh water to the same fruits/herbs for another round (though the flavor will be lighter).
- Replace ingredients every 24–48 hours for freshness.
