Warm
Lemon Water – One of the simplest and most effective ways to detox and
boost metabolism every single day is by drinking warm lemon water in the
morning before breakfast. This is an ancient Ayurvedic detox
tradition that boosts the immune system, aids weight loss and
improves digestion.
Watermelon
Detox Water – This one couldn’t be simpler to create, and is there anything
more refreshing than watermelon on a hot day when you’re feeling low on sugar?
All you need is watermelon and water! The watermelon infuses the water, and
when that happens, it creates a beautiful, subtle sweet smell and taste.
Slim
Down Detox Water – Detox water has become one of the most popular forms of
detoxifying beverages, and there’s nothing more bloat-reducing and cleansing
for the body! This water is full of nutrients, vitamins and minerals for
an optimal health, immune and metabolism boost. Cucumbers are natural
diuretics that will help your body release water; lemons and limes loosen
toxins in your digestive tract and the grapefruits are high in enzymes that
burn fat.
Apple
Spice Detox Water – The apple, cinnamon and star anise in this water taste
delicious, and also looks stunning! It is a great detox water to help digest
after perhaps indulging in too much comfort food. Cinnamon is extremely healthy
for the heart and brain, and it also speeds up metabolism and helps regulate
blood sugar. Anise is a very powerful spice that helps with digestion and
insomnia.
Water
(aka Sassy Water) – Cucumbers are one of the most hydrating
vegetables because they’re mostly made up of water. Many detox programs include
cucumbers on them for this very reason, and adding them to your water pulls out
their minerals so you’re getting an added benefit. Mix in the lemon juice and
you’re getting the cleansing effect of citric acid and helping to clear out the
digestive system. The mint makes things taste fresh and crisp, and goes nicely
with the lemon and cucumber while providing additional nutrients and benefits.
Strawberry
Kiwi Detox Water – This sweet, delicious detox water is great if you feel
like a subtle sugar fix, but want to keep it natural, refreshing and hydrating.
It has some fantastic detoxifying benefits from the lemon, as well as a mega
boost of vital nutrients, powerful vitamins and essential minerals from the
kiwifruit and strawberries.
Frozen
Fruit Infused Hydrating Water – This is a great idea if you don’t have
time to keep your fridge or fruit bowl stocked with fresh fruit. Keep berries
in the freezer and simply rinse them to defrost before infusing them in water.
This recipe suggests lemon, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries,
blueberries, apples and cucumber, which each have a number of detoxifying
qualities, essential micro-nutrients and immune boosting vitamins. Of course,
you can pick and choose your berries of choice depending on what’s in the
freezer!
Citrus
Detox Water – This refreshing mix of citrus fruits with cucumbers and mint
leaves creates a powerful infusion of vitamins that will have your body feeling
a little bit lighter by the end of the day! Grapefruit is not as common as
lemon and lime when it comes to citrus detoxing fruits, but it is just as
beneficial, with plenty of vitamin C, potassium, lycopene, calcium and
phosphorus.
Apple
Cinnamon Detox Water (as seen on Dr. Oz) – This is also referred to
as the Zero Calorie detox water because it contains nearly zero calories. There
are calories from the apple, but they’re pretty negligible. You’re probably
used to seeing the zero on a bottle of water when it comes all the categories
on the Nutrition Information label, like calories, fat, and sodium, and this
would clock in pretty close. The cinnamon it contains is going to help
stimulate your internal organs to cleanse themselves, while the apple is
providing you with its all natural source of vitamins and minerals. Way better
than just drinking regular water and a helpful boost to any detox program.
Jillian
Michaels Detox Water – You are probably familiar with Jillian
Michaels if you’ve ever seen an episode of The Biggest Loser. She also promotes
her own line of workout programs and diet books. Here she’s endorsed a
particular detox water recipe that uses cranberry juice, lemon juice, and
dandelion tea all mixed together with a lot of water. The end result is that
it’s also supposed to also help you lose weight. This can really be said for
anything that has a detoxifying effect, since getting back to our more natural
and clean state will have the byproduct of weight loss if we’ve moved toward a
heavier state.
Strawberry
Detox Water – Strawberries are a great way to add a familiar and
preferred flavor to most anything, and in this case it can make your water
taste better while also providing antioxidants and added vitamins and minerals
to your body. This particular recipe includes watermelon and rosemary as well.
This makes it a great detox recipe to use in the summer when it’s easier to
build up a sweat, and it’s only natural to have the taste of strawberries and
watermelon. It will help to make your detoxing efforts more enjoyable and seem
like less of a chore.
Apple
Cider Vinegar Detox Water – Apple cider vinegar is a handy detoxing
aid and it’s good to keep a bottle of it in the cupboard. You can instantly
improve the quality of a glass of water by adding a bit of ACV to it, but in
this case they’re showing you how to make a detoxifying drink from it. They’re
also including lemons, cucumbers, and mint, a popular combination you’ve seen
elsewhere on our list, but the use of apple cider vinegar gives it additional
properties and benefits that you won’t want to miss, and that will only amplify
the detoxing process.
Lemon
and Cayenne Pepper Detox – The most important part of the Master
Cleanse is where you stop eating regular foods and rely only on a concoction
made of organic lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. This is supposed
to spur the body into detox mode, with the lack of food helping to give the
digestive system a break and make sure that you’re entirely cleared out. We’ve
gone into detail about what you need to do in order to complete the Master
Cleanse, so if you do decide on it be sure to check our guide for the best
chance of success.
