Summer Hydration - Detox Waters

 

Hello and welcome to the Creative-Capsule ...!!!

Its officially summer here in Australia and the temperatures are going crazy. Staying hydrated is one most important thing to do to get through the hot weather. But when you are supposed to drink 2-3 liters of water in a day, plain water can get boring. Adding just a few ingredients to your water will not only give a refreshing taste to the water but also help you cleanse and detox your system.

Detox waters are so easy to make and a perfectly healthier substitute for the bottled juice or soda. There are so many different ways to make the detox water with all kinds of fruits, vegetables and fresh herbs. Well today I am going to share two of my favorite detox water recipes that I make all the time. 

WHAT WE WILL NEED:

• Water
• Lemon slices
• Lime slices
• Cucumber slices
• Watermelon chunks   
• Fresh Mint
• Ice cubes (optional)           

                                                              

METHOD:

1.      SLIMMING Detox Water:

• Add lemon and cucumber slices to a large pitcher. Top up with fresh mint leaves and fill the remaining jar with water.

• Let it sit on the counter or in the refrigerator at least 45 minutes for the flavors to infuse.
• Cucumber are rich in antioxidants and known for flushing out toxins from your body. Mint and lemon help with digestion and relieves bloating.
• Sip on this detox water all day to keep yourself hydrated. You can refill the jar once or twice. At the end of th e day just discard the fruits n make a new one. 

 

2.      REFRESHING Detox Water:

• Add watermelon cubes and lime slices to the pitcher. Add mint leaves for freshness and fill the remaining jar with water.

• Let it sit on the counter or in the refrigerator at least 45 minutes for the flavors to infuse.

Staying hydrated is vital for both mind and body. Even mild dehydration can affect mood, concentration and energy levels. Infusing your water with fruits and vegetables means that you drink more water and less sugary drinks.

Detox waters can help improve metabolism, flush toxins from your body and hence can play a vital role in your weight loss journey.
