Since the rise of obesity is at its peak these days, weight loss solutions and recipes are a dime a dozen! But not all are free of side effects. Well, I’ve already praised water and how it’s the best bet for people looking to lose weight, but did you know that adding certain fruits, vegetables, or other ingredients to water can greatly increase its effectiveness in preventing weight gain? Well, it can, and I’ll show you how and why.
If you’re reading this, I’m sure you’ve already done a lot of research on weight loss. And I’m also sure by now you must have learned a thing or two about detoxing. For those who haven’t, while the word “detox” has a…serious and scary medical procedure, it seems to be nothing more than cleansing the body. Simply put, detox water helps speed up digestion and boosts the immune system, which helps with weight loss. Plus, it just makes drinking a good amount of water easier and more fun!
So… yes, even though your research might have done you good, what you may not have discovered are some delicious detox water recipes to add a punch of flavor to your water.
This is where you want to be!
- watermelon detox water– Could it be easier? Dice a nice cold watermelon, fill a pitcher with water and add it. Drink it every day, as many times as you want. It is a tasty and refreshing drink that also speeds up metabolism.
- Citrus Boost Detox Water– This drink, which is loaded with the most sought after nutrients like vitamin C, is made up of the ultimate refreshing trio: mint, cucumber and lime. Slice these vegetables and put them in your jar that contains the water and store it in the fridge. Let it sit for a while and then drink and feel the toxins leave your body.
- Detox water with Chia Seeds– If you want to try something different and more abundant, this is your drink. Chia seeds have a tendency to swell when added to water, thus creating a thick, gel-like consistency. By providing you with the right amount of calcium and fiber, this detox drink also helps control appetite and lose weight.
- Detox water slimming combo– This recipe is packed with the most effective and active weight loss agents: Grapefruit, Tangerine and Cucumbers. This drink provides complete weight loss aid by providing flavor, minerals, and of course, detox!
- Strawberry and kiwi detox water– Infusing fresh sliced strawberries, kiwi and lemon into cold water is what makes this tasty detox water a favorite. Are you sick of the old sour-tasting, medicine-like diet drinks? Try this and you will never want to switch to other drinks again!
- Apple cider vinegar– This rather strong and spicy-tasting ingredient is known worldwide for its detoxifying abilities. Add it to one of the recipes mentioned above or just to a glass of drinking water and it should help you lose weight faster than you can say “Apple Cider Vinegar”! Adding apple cider vinegar to the aforementioned cucumber, lime and mint detox drink will definitely amplify its detoxifying properties substantially.
All these are recipes that include fruits and vegetables that are easily bought in all stores. Other recipes include infused water with apples and cinnamon, or with organic lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. It really comes down to how you like your detox water.
