These are healthy drinks meant for suppressing the appetite and losing weight effectively.

It’s a good idea to keep some healthy and delicious recipes ready so that you don’t get bored of the same bland detox tea or some other drink.

Detox tea or detox water is known around the world for quick weight loss but that doesn’t mean that slim or smart people cannot enjoy them. In fact, everybody needs detoxification every now and again regardless of their weight. Many of these healthy drinks would have diuretic properties so that water could be removed from the system for gaining health benefits. All you are going to need is a few natural ingredients and a blender or pitcher to mix them well.

Detox water is actually prepared by keeping sliced fruits or herbs in water for a few hours before consumption. This allows them to release their useful content into water. People who take medication regularly also need detoxification of their system every now and again in order to feel refreshed and energized.

Below is a list of fruits and herbs that can be combined in various combinations to make a delicious and totally refreshing drink for weight loss:

  • Grapefruit
  • Cucumber
  • Lemon
  • Mint
  • Ginger
  • Orange
  • Blackberry
  • Watermelon
  • Pineapple
  • Raspberry

 

Mint provides sweetness and cucumber is good for curing inflammation throughout the body. Make sure you don’t add any sugar or salt to keep your drink absolutely healthy.

Lemon is the best ingredient for cleansing and weight loss. Even if there is no other ingredient available, simply combine lemon and mint and drink the detox water all day long for energy, rejuvenation, and calmness. In addition, you may also use apple cedar vinegar for added benefits. All the above mentioned ingredients have rehydrating properties so they can easily replace the soda water or processed fruit juices that we are so much fond of. However, since these drinks contain too much sugar content as well as a good number of calories, they are not recommended to people who want to lose weight quickly.
