Now onto this cucumber lemon mint water and the ‘skinny’ on weight loss detox drinks.

What does detox mean and who should be detoxing? You may also wonder what are the benefits of detox water?

To start with, detoxification is the process of removing toxins from the body. Toxins can be found in foods like canned and processed foods, seed oils, grilled meats, tuna, etc.

As for who should do it, the answer is everyone! Even the healthiest of eaters are exposed to toxins whether they realize it or not. Things like fragrances, pesticides, cosmetics, and even the air we breathe all contain harmful toxins that can wreak havoc on your gut, liver, metabolism, and other body systems.

What are the benefits of detoxing? Flushing your body out with water is very cleansing. It keeps things from stagnating in your system and moves it all along.

Removing all of that buildup and gunk can aid in weight loss. A detox drink for flat belly is what we all would love. Another bonus of flushing the toxins is the improvement in the appearance of your skin. A detox water for clear skin includes hydrating ingredients.

Ingredients for Infusing Detox Water:

lemons – stimulates healthy digestion.
mint – contains anti-inflammatory properties.
cucumber – high water content to relieve bloating.
filtered water

How to Make Detox Water:

Infusing your water is super simple.

First, we need that vitamin C from the lemon juice so we start with slicing some lemons.

Next, slice up the cucumber and tear the mint leaves from the stems. Split it all between two large glass jars with lids and pour in the filtered water.

Let the cucumber and lemon water infuse overnight and work its magic.

Serving Suggestions and Substitutions:

Re-use the lemons, mint, and cucumber that’s left in the jars! Once you have drunk the water, top the jars up with more fresh water and leave them again overnight in your fridge. I’ll get 2 uses out of them. Think of it as a detox water bottle.
Switch up the citrus with limes, oranges, or grapefruit.
Add fruit flavor with fresh strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, raspberries, blackberries, pears, and watermelon.
Swap in different herbs like basil or rosemary.
Add a few slices of fresh ginger to the jar which also fights inflammation.
