Infused Water

(Use during C. T.) Staying hydrated is important during and after cancer treatment. Drinking water can help you feel better, boost energy levels, manage bowl issues like constipation and keep you from feeling run down. But it can be difficult to squeeze in your fluid requirements for the day. If you are experiencing taste changes during your treatment or tryinf to transition from drinking sugar-sweetened beverages to something healthier, infused water could be the perfect solution. Infusing water with flavors from fruits, vegetables, and herbs can add some of you favorite flavors without adding sugar, unwanted additives, or preservatives.
