Detox Water

Drink one or two glasses of this water a day for a great detox

Detox Water Recipe
1 lemon sliced
1/2 cucumber sliced
10 fresh mint leaves
About 12 cups water


Allow the lemon, cucumber and mint to sit in the water for 24 hours.

Lemon water makes for a powerful detox drink; lemon juice helps to cleanse and alkalize the body. Add one thinly sliced lemon to a large pitcher, or squeeze fresh lemon juice into your glass. Lemon also aides in digestion and boosts your immune system.

Mint adds a touch of sweetness without the sugar, and it also helps settle your stomach and aids in digestion.

Adding a few slices of cucumber to your water makes for excellent re-hydration, and cucumber contains anti-inflammatory properties.

  1. I never have fresh lemons around but I am obsessed with lemon juice. I'm secretly hoping it's almost as good. :)
