Tired of all those useless fad diets? We understand!
Oftentimes, diet culture is a lie and the secret recipes and weight loss tricks that find their way into our inbox or creep up to the top of our social media feed, don’t do what they promise. Lucky for you, there are a number of healthy detox drinks that are effective for digestion and weight loss.
Health Benefits of Detox Drinks
It goes without saying that the more you drink water, the more hydrated you are.
But detox drinks do more than hydrate your body. From aiding digestion to boosting your metabolism, there are so many amazing benefits in a glass of detox water. Here are a few:
- Elevated mood
- Boosted energy
- Aided digestion
- Faster metabolism
- Hydration
- Weight loss
- Clear, moisturized skin
- And so many more!
Now that you know, you’re probably reaching for a cup right now. Here are some of the best detox drinks for weight loss you can try at home.
Lemon & Ginger Tea
Lemon and ginger tea is one of the most popular detox drinks. It can be prepared by simply boiling lemon and ginger in water, and is the simplest way to reap the health benefits of both ingredients. It aids digestion, making weight loss easier, reduces nausea, and keeps you hydrated. Here’s an easy way to make Ginger and Lemon Tea.
Green Tea
Green tea is one of the easiest detox drinks you can prepare. It aids digestion, tastes good hot or iced, anytime and anywhere, and contains zero calories! Green tea is loaded with antioxidants that suppress free radicals in the body and helps speed up your metabolism. The weight loss drink many swear by also contains caffeine, offering a calmer alternative to your morning coffee.
Cinnamon & Honey
Keep your cravings at bay with a small teaspoon of cinnamon. While a dash of cinnamon helps your body crave the nutrients that really matter, honey helps boost your metabolism, making it easier to burn calories and therefore lose weight. Boil a cup of hot water, mix in a spoonful of honey, add a dash of cinnamon power and enjoy!
Fruit-Infused Water
Aside from its additional hydration, fruit infused water is loaded with nutrients and water-rich flavors. Upgrade your water with a cucumber and mint infused bottle and enjoy staying refreshed while avoiding all those sugary juices.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Say goodbye to the bad bacteria in your body as you sip a refreshing glass of apple cider vinegar. With its core ingredient being water, drinking this in the morning will help restore your body’s water content and hydrate you after a good night’s sleep. Its apple cider vinegar content is commonly known to help you lose weight and maintain a flat belly. Dilute a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. Upgrade the flavor by adding a touch of lemon zest. Repeat 2-3 times a day for the ultimate results.
Notice that most of the ingredients are probably within your budget and can easily be found around your kitchen. Make the healthy choice and give your body a break from all those diet fads. Sip on an enjoyable detox drink instead.
