Healthy Can Be Tasty – 7 Liver Detox Drinks That You Can Make In Minutes
7:13 AMOur body is abused! I am serious! We eat junk, and that too, at the most ungodly hours. We drink alcohol like there is no tomorrow. We don’t drink water. In short, we do what we shouldn’t and don’t do what we should. It is all muddled up.
And amidst all this, it is only detox that comes to the rescue. It is important because a) it helps you lose weight naturallywithout any side effects, and b) it helps you flush out all the toxins that have been building up for months together. But besides these two important functions, detoxing helps you replenish vitamins and minerals naturally.
Detox is very much essential, and these seven natural fruit based drinks will make it extremely easy for you to do it from the comfort of your home. Listing out the seven magic potions, take a look:
1. Water/ H2O:
Well, this one’s plain, easy, and extremely underrated. It’s almost like we take water for granted. Drinking at least 4 to 8 liters of water a day will surely help you cleanse your liver and flush out the toxins. It also breaks down the fat and instigates weight loss. Water also keeps you energized and makes sure your organs function right.
To make it more power-packed, add about half a lemon juice to your glass of water, and have it the first thing every morning. Lemon helps you rehydrate and also encourages digestion.It’s true that all good things in life come for free, right?
2. The Green Tea Smoothie:
It is not less known that green tea has been used for thousands of years, and has about thousands of benefits. Now let’s take it a notch higher. Add a citrus fruit to your green tea smoothie, and bam! A faster metabolism, an increase in potassium and fiber intake, and a natural detox process. For those of you who have abused alcohol or who haven’t had a detox in years, this one is truly your magic potion.
3. The Master Cleanser:
This one is a morning detox diet. It is also called the Master Cleanse Diet, after Beyoncé used it (for her role in Dreamgirls). The recipe calls for a pinch of Cayenne pepper, a tablespoon of maple syrup, two tablespoons of lemon juice and some water. This one is perfect for weight loss as well as for detoxifying your liver and the overall body.
4. The Apple Pie Water:
This is also called the zero calorie detox water (because it really contains almost zero calories). That already makes it incentive enough, right? The calories from the apple are pretty negligible. The mixture gives out Malic Acid, which softens the liver and allows the release of kidney stones. It also opens up the bile duct. The cinnamon stimulates your inner organs to cleanse themselves.
A very simple recipe, all you need to do is add a stick of cinnamon and some chopped apples into a pitcher of water, and let it chill for a while. And voilà, you have a healthy refreshing drink ready to sip.
5. Lemon Mint & Cucumber:
This one is a classic. As yummy as it sounds, it also cleanses your body and aids digestion. Just slice some cucumbers and lemons, and add them to the water along with some crushed mint leaves. Let the flavors infuse for a while and then serve it chilled. Adding these natural flavors takes care of your liver and leaves you feeling refreshed and hydrated.
6. Strawberry Infused Vitamin Water:
This detox recipe includes strawberries, bits of watermelon, a bang of rosemary, a pinch of salt and some water. Refrigerate this mixture for four to six hours. And Tada!!
This drink has antioxidants, and therefore is great for your skin. It also hydrates you and cleanses your system.
7. Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Drink:
Just add a little bit of apple cider vinegar to the cucumber, lemon and mint water that I mentioned before. Apple cider vinegar flushes out toxins from the blood and liver. As you know, lemon has antioxidant properties and also boosts immunity. Mint and cucumber aid digestion.
While these seven drinks clean your body from the inside out, do remember to take care of yourself and live healthy!
