One of the main culprits of premature aging is a build-up of toxins in our body. Doctors
tell us that the best way to flush these toxins is to drink plenty of water. Are you bored
with plain water? How can you boost water’s benefits and flavor?
Water detox recipes infuse specific foods, herbs, and spices into the water to enhance
the detox process. They taste delicious, too!
To make any of these detoxing, age-defying recipes, you will need a two-quart pitcher,
purified water, ice, and the ingredients of choice. Add the ingredients to the pitcher and
then fill it halfway with ice. Top it off with water and put it in the fridge to steep for an
hour. You can refill your pitcher up to three times before replacing ingredients. Try
sipping some of these refreshing water detox recipes:
Cucumber Water
Most people are familiar with cucumber water. It was the classic infusion that health
clubs began serving their clients. Many water detox recipes contain this vitamin-rich
fruit. There are healthy compounds in cucumbers that may reduce inflammation and
fight the free radicals that age your skin. To make this drink, wash and slice a medium-
sized organic cucumber and steep it in your water. Keep the peel on the cucumber for
extra vitamins.
Vitamin C Water Detox
What could taste more refreshing than a blend of tangy oranges and plump
raspberries? This recipe will give you a healthy dose of Vitamin C and strong
antioxidants to combat premature aging. Wash an orange and cut it into thin slices (with
peelings). Gently crush a pint of fresh raspberries and add them to the water. Let the
ingredients infuse and enjoy delicious sips of it throughout the day.
Blue Magic Water Detox Water
Scientists and nutritionists recommend that your diet be rich in colorful foods. The
compounds that give fruits and veggies their vibrant hues also revitalize your body. This
blue-inspired recipe contains blueberries and lavender, a flowering herb. Wash a pint of
blueberries and add them to your water, plus a handful of organic lavender stems. Blue
Magic is just as delightful to see as it is to taste!
Apple Cider Vinegar Fizz Detox Water
If you are used to drinking sweet, bubbly soda, having a glass of water detox may not
sound appealing. How about a recipe that offers a satisfying taste with the bubbles you
crave? Reap the benefits of organic apple cider vinegar and lemons! Pour two quarts of
mineral water into your pitcher, and add the juice of two lemons, and six tablespoons of
organic apple cider vinegar (unfiltered). Sweeten it to taste with stevia, if you want.
Tastes like soda, but detoxes like water!

help you lose weight, too. After trying some of these recipes, you may create your own
