Detox Water Health Benefits And Myths

May 28,2020
Share:

There’s a lot of hype about the supposed health benefits of “detox water.”

Yes, staying hydrated is important for health.

Therefore, it’s often recommended that you drink eight glasses of water per day.

However, some people think adding extra ingredients to water boosts its health benefits.

The result, called detox water, is said to help your body get rid of toxins, improve your energy levels and help you lose weight.

Detox water is water that has been infused with the flavors of fresh fruits, vegetables or herbs. It’s sometimes referred to as fruit-infused water or fruit-flavored water.

You can make detox water at home in lots of different ways, using any combination of fruits, vegetables and herbs that you like.

Because it’s made by infusing flavor, rather than juicing or blending, detox water contains very few calories. That makes it a popular drink for detox regimens like the “lemon detox” or “master cleanse.”

Detox water is also often recommended in weight loss plans, especially in place of high-sugar drinks like sugary soda and fruit juice.

Detox water is made by infusing water with fruits, vegetables or herbs. You can make your own at home using a variety of flavors.

Making detox water at home is very simple. All you need is water and a selection of fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Simply chop up your ingredients and add them to hot or cold water, depending on your preference. The more of an ingredient you use, the stronger the flavor will become.

If you’re making a cold drink, you can leave the detox water in the fridge for 1–12 hours to allow the flavors to infuse more deeply. Be sure to remove the ingredients after this time though, so they don’t begin to decompose.

If you’re in a hurry, crushing or bruising your fruit and herbs before using them can help release the flavors more quickly.

Here are some popular detox water recipe combinations:

Cucumber and mint.
Lemon and ginger.
Blackberry and orange.
Lemon and cayenne pepper.
Watermelon and mint.
Grapefruit and rosemary.
Orange and lemon.
Lemon and lime.
Strawberry and basil.
Apple and cinnamon.

To make detox water, add fruits, vegetables and herbs to water and then let it stand. Crushing or bruising fruits and herbs can help release more of their flavors.

Detox water is said to have many health benefits, including:

Weight loss.
Toxin removal or detox.
Balancing the pH of the body.
Better digestive health.
Boosting immune function.
Improving mood.
Increasing energy levels.
Improving complexion.
The exact properties of detox water will vary depending on the ingredients you use and the strength of the infusion.

However, many of the health claims for detox water can be attributed to the water itself, rather than the ingredients it’s flavored with.

That’s because you don’t get that many nutrients from the ingredients in detox water, especially not compared to eating them in their whole form.

Detox water has been claimed to help remove toxins, help with weight loss, balance your pH and boost your immune system.

Detoxification is a popular claim for many diets, cleanses and nutrition products like detox water.

Detox products often claim to facilitate health and well-being by eliminating toxins from the body and aiding in weight loss.

However, both “toxins” and “detox” are vague terms that don’t really define what is eliminated or how it happens.

Your body has well-designed detox pathways that eliminate toxins from the body. There is currently no evidence that any product or diet speeds them up or makes them more efficient.
