About detox water

Regular consumption of detox water drinks helps remove or flush out toxins from the body.

We often tend to indulge in unhealthy eating habits and include high-calorie drinks or food in our diet, which can cause trouble in our bodies with digestion.

Detox drinks help remove the toxins deposited due to unhealthy food lifestyles to a certain extent.

One cannot entirely depend on these drinks and eat whatever comes our way. These drinks are a natural way to cleanse our bodies to a certain extent.

Note: I would always suggest consulting a physician, nutritionist, or medical expert who can solve detoxification or weight loss issues. 

I am not a medical advisor, but I am trying to share some of the articles from my blog that could be useful with the help of a doctor's advice.

What is detox water?

In simple terms, detox, water, or detox drink is the drink that comes out after hours of soaking water in fruits or vegetables.

Most of the time, herbs and detoxifying ingredients or weight loss ingredients are used to make the detox waters.

These infused water recipes work well in detoxifying, cleansing and with weight loss mainly if consumed on an empty stomach followed by a healthy lifestyle.

I have shared some of the water recipes that are made instantly and infused for a longer time, and both kinds of drinks work well to help detox and cut down unnecessary fat.

I am trying to share natural homemade detox water recipes and each recipe will take a detailed way of making the water, its uses, and benefits and also give many tips and tricks along with their variations.

Try to refer to each recipe and follow the best one suitable to each individual.

These are made commonly using lemons, herbs such as mint or cilantro, ginger, cucumbers, fruits such as berries, and some more herbs such as parsley and cilantro.

Also, many more fruits and veggies can be used to make detox water recipes for weight loss.

Benefits and uses of homemade detox drinks

  • Do check out my individual detox recipes, which dive into the detailed uses and benefits of each drink.
  • In brief, these detox water recipes help remove toxins from the human body as well as help keep the digestive system clean.
  • If digestion happens well, most of the problems in our body are solved, and it helps us stay refreshed and energized throughout the day and helps us stay active, too.
  • These drinks or water recipes help lose body fat or belly fat with proper usage and with correct advice from the doctor.

Different kinds of detox drinks

I will be linking some of the detoxifying drink recipes below, but I would also like to share different kinds of detox recipes that are useful along with my own recipes.

Listing the various homemade detox recipes that one can make easily and with simple homemade ingredients.

These infused water for weight loss recipes are easy to infuse in water jars or glasses and can be stored later.

Lemons are commonly added to every detox water as they are an essential ingredient in giving the required results.

Benefits of detox ingredients

Below are the benefits of some of the most commonly used ingredients to make detox water drinks, and I hope these benefits may be helpful to my readers.

Lemons: A powerful ingredient to clean the gut and help improve digestion, lemons have many medicinal properties.

Plus, it has high usage in weight loss recipes. These are high in Vitamin C and give an excellent glow to the skin.

Cucumber: It is a very hydrating vegetable, high in fiber, which can help with cleansing and digestion and hence can help lose unwanted fats.

It's a just veggie to include in every detox drink. Check out my articles for detailed benefits.

Ginger: It is high in antioxidants and is known to fight problems related to obesity as well as help in lowering high cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels.

It is a great source to include in the diet for digestion and has been used for digestive purposes for ages.

Honey: This has many medicinal properties and can fight several ailments, too, and acts as a natural sweetener.

Try to replace high-calorie sugar with low-calorie honey in any drink and see the difference. Always use natural organic honey and not processed ones.

Cinnamon: This ingredient, too has benefits related to treating cholesterol levels, heart issues, and sugar levels and is a common spice used in American recipes. It is also a powerful ingredient known to fight obesity issues.

Cumin: A wonderful spice mainly used for bloating digestion issues. Adding this spice to drinks, too can work wonders in reaching weight loss goals.

Apple cider: Using raw organic apple cider vinegar helps lower blood sugar levels fights heart-related issues, throat issues, weight loss issues, etc...

Mint: This powerful herb is a must-use in drinks as it can help with flatulence, bloating, cleansing, and many other medicinal properties.

These are some of the highly used ingredients in weight loss detox drinks, and there are many more, but listed only the most commonly used ones.

Variations

Here, making a drink in one way is not necessary but mixing all the mentioned ingredients to make infused water for a few hours in one single water recipe can also be done.

Trying out different flavours preferred to make infused water is suggested and any ingredient mentioned in the article can be added to water and let it infuse.

The benefits of all the weight loss ingredients are listed in the article and can be used accordingly.

Storage

The best advice is to make these drinks as fresh as possible as there are more chances of valuable nutrients lost from the drink if stored for a long time.

The freshness and taste change as well. Do not store it for more than a day or two as they lose their nutrients if storing these drinks for many days.

How much detox water can we drink in a day?

Try to include at least a litre of detox drinks on a daily basis as they are not harmful and plain water with fruits or veggies infused can be taken in place of normal water.

Strong drinks with apple cider can be limited to glass and fruit-flavoured detox drinks can be taken as much as preferred.
