Welcome!

I am an Advanced Practice RN who is asked all sorts of thought inspiring questions about health, healthy living, medicine, and life in general by family and friends. I have found that many people have similar questions and just don't think to ask, or are just too embarrassed. So, I want to air my thoughts and opinions, that are based in my education and constant reading of medical/nursing/nutrition/health journals, to get people thinking in a healthier way and making healthier lifestyle changes that fit their lifestyles!! I hope you join me in my quest for healthy living, and I really urge people to question me further...I want to answer YOUR health questions!! NurseBridgid@gmail.com BlogCatalog

Whats' your Aura?

I am a huge fan of trying things that are new and healthy, promote wellness, and of course add organic to the mix, and I am head over heels in love.  There was a new product I saw the other day in my local grocers organic produce area, called Aura Water.  It seemed intriguing, so I tossed it in my basket and headed on my way...I am SO GLAD I DID!!



What is Aura Water?
It is Natural Botanical water that is 100% naturally enhanced, and infused with herbal extracts and fruit juice. They come in three flavors, which is what really got me: cucumber lemon rosemary, orange basil, and grapefruit sage.  Let me go on record as saying that each flavor is just as amazing as the next, but my favorite is the grapefruit sage.  They are all crisp, refreshing, and they really taste healthy and natural.

The Real Scoop?
 Each bottle has 15.2 oz and approximately two servings, with each serving being around 45calories AND a full serving of fruit, along with 100% recommended daily value of vitamin C and 50% of your Vitamin B3, B5, B6, and B12.  There is no added sugar or artificial flavors.  So, you may be adding 90 calories to your diet BUT you are getting vitamins, one serving of fruit, and and extra 500 mls of fluid into your day.  The product is made by Bolthouse Farms, which is an innovative health and wellness company from California, that grows and processes their own fruits and vegetables; so the fruits and herbs that are used in these beverages are as fresh as possible and grown in the good old USA!

I think that these are a great supplement beverage for your day, not to drink constantly, there are some calories involved, but it gets you added vitamins, and a whole serving of fruit while you are busy and on the go. Plus, it is great for me to add into the mix of my beverage selections, because I usually just drink water or sparkling water, and I am constantly running around, and rarely have time to add in extra fruit while I'm at work.  Give it a try, and I promise you won't be disappointed, they are amazing!!!

Yours in Good Health
