Even though I am a
“skinny” or “petite” young woman... I eat like a pig. I am so unhealthy and I need to change
that! I would consider myself a lazy
person because I don’t really exercise at all.
I eat greasy fried food all the time along with chocolate and sweets,
and eventually it will catch up with me.
I have been feeling very gross and sluggish lately, so I decided to make
a change and try something new. My best
friend and I have decided to try some detox waters to help clean out our bodies
from all the garbage we put in them. If
you don’t exactly know what detox water is, here is a brief definition. You basically put different fruits in water
and let them infuse for a given period of time, and then you just drink the
water. All the natural ingredients in
the different types of fruit give different benefits for your body. For example, lemon is good for your skin and
your digestive system. Cucumbers prevent
water retention, and oranges contain juice that stimulates the immune
system.
Of course I had to go on the
beloved Pinterest to search for some detox water recipes, and I did not get
disappointed. There are so many types of
recipes you can choose from that will give you the same result. My friend and I chose three different recipes
we would like to try, and then took a trip to our local grocery store to pick
up what we needed. I ended up getting
some strawberries, lemons, cucumbers, oranges, kiwis, and mint leaves. These are the detox water recipes I am going
to try.
1. Natural Belly Slimming Detox Water

3-5
slices of cucumber
-
1/2
small lemon sliced
-
1/4 of
orange sliced
-
A few
fresh mint leaves
-
24oz
of ice cold water
o
This
one didn’t give a specific recipe, but I will just let it sit in the fridge for
an hour or two before I drink it.
-
Add
some fresh sliced strawberries and lemon slices to 24oz of water, let sit
overnight and sip throughout the day. Extremely
beneficial to digestion as well as clear and healthy skin.
-
1/2 gallon
cold water

2
kiwis, sliced
-
6
strawberries, sliced
o
Mix
all ingredients and keep chilled for 1-2 hours before drinking.
o
Discard
after 24-48 hours or when fruit starts to taste bitter.
I can’t wait to
try this and see how it goes. I have
been so busy with work and school; I haven’t gotten around to making any
yet. I plan to start tomorrow, and I
will definitely keep writing updates here and there on what I think and if it
works or not. If you try these or have tried other detox water recipes, I would love to hear about them in the comments below!
See ya next time!
