We all consume a lot of toxins, not just by eating processed foods, but also by living in an unhealthy environment. Do you know how many toxins are there in the air we breathe.
All those toxins that accumulate in your body contribute to you gaining more weight. That weight usually manifests as fat around the belly.
So, if you want to lose weight, one way to do is to flush out the toxins. How can you do that you would ask?
It is not a simple switch on and off for flushing. You need to introduce some detox beverages into your daily routine.
Here are 5 detox drinks you can make from the comfort of your home;
1. Lemon detox water
One of the simplest and easiest drinks is lemon detox water. However, this is not the ordinary lemon detox water.
Lemon has been known as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ingredient for a long time now.
Rich in vitamin C, lemon helps you get rid of toxins easily. But to make the beverage more potent, you can add a slice or two of cucumber.
Ingredients
– 1 lemon
– Half a cucumber
– Few mint leaves
– 1l of water
Method
Slice the lemons and cucumber, and then fill a bottle with water. Add the lemons and cucumber in the water, as well as the mint leaves.
Let the beverage sit overnight, and then drink the next day. In addition to flushing out toxins, this drink will keep you hydrated.
2. Stress-free detox drink
We are living in a stressful world. We face stress on a daily basis. Be it because of an argument with colleagues at work, or because of a fight with our loved ones.
Or simply because we feel like we cannot meet deadlines. Some people even stress out because they do not know what to eat. The fact is that stress is a constant part of our lives. And the worst part is that stress is one of the main reasons for gaining weight. Try out this stress reliving drink.
Ingredients:
– 16 oz cold water
– ½ cup of ice
– 5 strawberries
– ½ cup pineapple
– 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
– 4 basil leaves
Method
Fill a pitcher with water, ice, and apple cider vinegar. Add all the fruits, but be sure to smash and squeeze them into the beverage. Add the basil leaves at the end, and stir well. Let it stay for 20 minutes, and then drink. Stir again before drinking.
3. Apple and cinnamon detox water
Most of the beverages you’ll find on the list are actually detox water or infused water as some people call it. For this beverage, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 apple
– 1 cinnamon stick
– 1 pitcher of water
Method
The recipe contains fewer than 10 calories, which is great when you want to lose weight. Slice the apple, and add it to the pitcher of water along with the cinnamon stick. Let it stay there for few hours, and then drink a glass whenever you feel like it. Bonus points: the beverage provides a huge energy boost.
