Water is essential for life, and it’s no secret that drinking plenty of water is good for you. But did you know that infused water can be excellent for detoxing and anti-aging? In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of detox waters and provide some recipes for you to try at home!
There are many benefits to drinking detox waters, including improved skin health, increased energy levels, and better digestion. Detox waters can also help to flush out toxins and impurities from the body, which is essential for anti-aging.
Some of the best ingredients to use in detox waters include citrus fruits, herbs, and cucumbers. These ingredients are known for their cleansing properties and can help to improve your overall health. They taste delicious, too!
To make any of these detoxing, age-defying recipes, you will need a two-quart pitcher, purified water, ice, and the ingredients of choice. Add the ingredients to the pitcher and then fill it halfway with ice. Top it off with water and put it in the fridge to steep for an hour. You can refill your pitcher up to three times before replacing ingredients. Try sipping some of these refreshing water detox recipes:
Cucumber Water
Most people are familiar with cucumber water. It was the classic infusion that health clubs began serving their clients. Many detox water recipes contain this vitamin-rich fruit. There are healthy compounds in cucumbers that may reduce inflammation and fight the free radicals that age your skin. To make this drink, wash and slice a medium-sized organic cucumber and steep it in your water. Keep the peel on the cucumber for extra vitamins.
Vitamin C Water
What could taste more refreshing than a blend of tangy oranges and plump raspberries? This recipe will give you a healthy dose of Vitamin C and strong antioxidants to combat premature aging. Wash an orange and cut it into thin slices (with peelings). Gently crush a pint of fresh raspberries and add them to the water. Let the ingredients infuse and enjoy delicious sips throughout the day.
Blue Magic Water
Scientists and nutritionists recommend that your diet be rich in colorful foods. The compounds that give fruits and veggies their vibrant hues also revitalize your body. This blue-inspired recipe contains blueberries and lavender, a flowering herb. Wash a pint of blueberries and add them to your water, plus a handful of organic lavender stems. Blue Magic is just as delightful to see as it is to taste!
Rosemary Water
This recipe is perfect if you’re looking for a detox water that will help improve your mental clarity. Rosemary has compounds that can help to boost cognitive function and memory. It also reduces inflammation in the body. To make this drink, wash and chop a few sprigs of organic rosemary and add them to your water. Let the rosemary steep for at least an hour to get the most benefits.
Lemon Water
This is a classic detox water recipe that you’ve probably seen on many health blogs and websites. Lemons are rich in Vitamin C, which helps to boost the immune system and promote healthy skin.
