Cucumber and Lemon Water

Most people often have trouble drinking the recommended daily eight glasses of water. I had this discussion with my friend last week on this important topic which is my motivating reason for writing this piece.
We argued on the need to drink properly everyday for healthy hydration of the body. She said to me...

"Blessing, I drink quite well but I can't guarantee that I  drink up to 8 glasses of water a day! At times I find it so hard to drink a lot of water".

Well, this last statement prompted me blog on how to add flavor to water without artificial flavorings. This type of drink is very special in the sense that it is calorie-free and super refreshing! Before I showcase the easiest tip, let me briefly identify the health benefits of lemon and cucumber.
