Detoxifying water may be a trend that has accelerated and been made popular by Miranda Kerr and the Kardashians, but today, it is supported by most wellness lovers. In fact, these techniques have been used by our ancestors according to the book The Lost Ways 2.
Detoxifying water, also known as water infusion, is basically water soaked in slices of fruits and vegetables along with herbs, greens, or spices to benefit from the nutrients of these superfoods every time we drink.
These are the four antioxidant drinks based on water that will give glowing skin and offer antioxidant action to our bodies.
Water with cucumber slices
It’s no secret that hydrated skin equals cheerful skin. Speaking of hydration, what better than cucumbers containing up to 96% water.
Add some crushed mint leaves and lemon slices for a taste. Just add a cut cucumber to a jar full of water with a handful of crushed mint and a slice of lemon and leave it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours. What you drink is an absolute pleasure.
Water with raspberries
Start your daily routine with the necessary dose of antioxidants, filling a jar of water by depositing berries.
Cut a few strawberries, take a cup of raspberries and pomegranate and add them all in a jar of water.
Mix it together and put it in the refrigerator. Each fruit contains its properties – raspberries are rich in antioxidants, pomegranate is rich in vitamin C, and strawberries are packed with anti-inflammatory benefits. Overall, it is a nutrient power for your skin.
Water… Flash
Boost the glow on your skin and eliminate any dullness by recreating the following detoxification drink in your daily diet.
Use lemons and chia seeds as the main ingredients, as they offer high amounts of antioxidants and vitamin C. Chia seeds have anti-inflammatory properties and help “fad” the appearance of spots for smooth and healthy skin.
Add two slices of lemons and a cup of chia seeds to a jar of water and leave it in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours.
Extra tip: You can also add pineapple slices inside it.
The miraculous apple
You also wonder what the detoxifying drink can be to soothe the irritated intestine as well as the skin.
The combination of apple and cinnamon targets the toxins in your gut and eliminates them for a clean intestine. A toxins-free intestine translates into detoxified skin. This drink is also suitable for people who suffer from acne, cracks, and untamed skin due to their eating habits.
Beware, this does not mean that you can continue to eat what you want and trust this decoction to solve it all, but it certainly helps.
Combine for the creation of the beverage an equal proportion of apples and cinnamon sticks.
That is, 2 apples cut into slices with 2 cinnamon sticks in a jar of water and boil them together.
Then let it cool and enjoy.
