Health & Water Talk – ICE MOUNTAIN Sparking Water

Not a personal fan of carbonated soft drinks, I do know many clients and friends out there who can’t seem to take carbonated soft drinks out of their diets. I realized that there should be a solution to this issue, but I cannot simply tell them to stop drinking carbonated drinks and switching them to plain water immediately!

ICE MOUNTAIN Sparkling Water

ICE MOUNTAIN, the No. 1 brand for bottled water, has just launched a new flavoured sparkling water. And I really love how the entire objective is to get young female adults like myself who are health conscious to drink ICE MOUNTAIN flavoured sparkling water by convincing them to opt for a guilt free, great tasting and refreshing beverage as a replacement to carbonated soft drinks.

ICE MOUNTAIN SPARKLING WATER is a good alternative to carbonated soft drinks and is a lot more exciting than the usual plain sparkling water as it comes in 2 flavours - grapefruit and lemon.

So I always had problem drinking water, really. And I decided to bring the sparkling water to the gym and drink it post-workout and throughout the day.

I really like how the sparkling water tastes very refreshing, considering the fact that there is no sugar added, zero calories, no colouring, no artificial sweeteners, and of course, a lot more affordable compared to other sparkling water in the market – only $1.20 at the supermarkets. There is also a hint of fruity flavour – lemon or grapefruit which makes it super tasty!

Personally, I cannot even tell which flavor is my favourite because both taste very refreshing and are unique and yummy! Well, go ahead and try for yourself if you like! ☺

Health & Nutrition - Health & Beauty Tips

I hope the week is going fine for everyone. I'm back to share 5 quick health and beauty tips, as promised! Will share more along the way too.

Tip #1: Put a slice of lemon in your everyday water bottle.

Try to drink your water warm if you can. Having a tinge of sour in your water actually has a lot of wonderful benefits! Here are some.

- Improves your immune system

- Aids digestion #truestory

- Cleanses your system

- Freshens your breath

- Helps to detox your body of toxins

Tip #2: Drink green tea.

Green tea helps to boost your metabolism! Try replacing your daily coffee with green tea instead.

Tip #3: Cup of black coffee for your pre workout energy boost.

Personally, I find it difficult to quit coffee. So, I'm making full use of this caffeine-addiction to fuel my workout sessions. I used to have a cuppa mid-day but I replaced that mid-day cuppa with green tea and have simple black coffee (no sugar no cream) before my workouts. How black coffee helps?

- Accelerates fat loss 

- Improves focus and performance

- Decreases muscle pain

- Makes me perspire more

Tip #4: Try Accupressure Therapy.

I tend to have quest stomach after meals so this really helps soothe it! Use your index and middle fingers to press down on the groove between the tendons that run from the base of your palm to your wrist. Keep massaging and pressing it down for 1-3 minutes. Really helpful especially when you have to sit down for a next 4-5 hours after lunch everyday.

- Relieves queasy stomach after meals

- Detoxify your body for better health and beauty

Tip #5: Avoid alcohol.

Okay, people who have 'grown up' with me will know that I used to drink and party more, especially when I was still working for RB. Since I embarked on this fitness journey, I have managed to stay alcohol-free and I'm very happy and proud about it. My friends have all given up persuading me to even take a sip. Alcohol is toxic to your body and the thought of having it flowing in my body disgusts me (no offence). Alcohol reduces your body's ability to burn fats up to 73% and ultimately cause weight gain. 

So, I'll be back with more tips!

Here are some updates in photos from the last week and past few days.
