Detox-WatersDetox water is all the rage right now – especially when you can easily make them at home yourself. Why bother buying the cheap “vitamin waters” you see in store? They contain the unknown mystery ingredient labelled “natural flavor,” which could be a variety of things. Homemade detox waters taste better, anyway, and are much easier on the wallet!

Making your own detox water is quick and easy, and they are packed with beneficial vitamins and minerals that help cleanse out the liver and ease stress on the kidneys. These waters will also help alkalize the body, flush out toxins, improve skin quality and strengthen the immune system.

Infusing your water with fruit, cucumbers and herbs, is also a great way to encourage you to drink more water, which will in turn improve your health and help hydrate the cells of your body.

Always make sure your ingredients are organic and pesticide-free! Talk to your local farmers and ask them if they spray. The less toxins in your body, means the less work your liver and kidneys have to do to filter them out. When we consume too many toxins, our liver and kidneys become overwhelmed and this can manifest as skin issues, headaches, blood disorders and more.

Ingredients:

Strawberry Citrus with A Hint of Mint:
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
1 orange, sliced into 1/4-inch thick half-moons
2-4 sprigs of mint

Cucumber Lime Raspberry Surprise:
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber (half-moon shape)
1 lime, sliced into 1/4-inch thick half-moons
1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Grapefruit Cucumber Belly Slimming Water:
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber (half-moon shape)
1/2 grapefruit, sliced into 1/4-inch thick half-moons

Blueberry Citrus Antioxidant Punch: 
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 orange, sliced into 1/4-inch thick half-moons

Method:

For each combination above, place in a litre of water in a glass jar and let sit for 30 minutes – 1 hour. Alternatively, you could make these the night before, and drink them the next day for better blending of flavours.

    Aside from just placing the fruits and vegs in the glass and covering them with the water, wouldn’t it also be beneficial to lightly squeeze the contents pre-water immersion to intensify the detoxification?
    Thanks.

      You can definitely do that to enhance the flavour and get more out of the water! But if you do let it sit for longer than 24 hours, the water should absorb most of the good stuff!
