I am completely and 100% obsessed with detox water this week. I cannot get enough of this stuff and have made several batches. Each of these detox waters smell wonderful, are refreshingly delicious, have a refreshing taste, look absolutely beautiful and has tons of health benefits! My current favorite is Cucumber, Lime & Mint detox water.
Here are just a few of the health benefits of this detox water:
Cucumbers: High in antioxidants (fight free radicals in the body) that protect you from chronic diseases, is a natural diuretic; flushing out waste, toxins and excess water from the body.
Limes: Contain citric acid which can increase metabolism and burn fat.
Mint: Promotes digestion, reduces inflammation and is a natural stimulant. Use mint to give your mood a boost!
Notes
*Amount of cucumbers, limes, mint and water will depend on the size of the pitcher/container.
