MAKE YOUR OWN DETOX DRINKS

“Detox drinks” are drinks that have been infused with the flavours of fresh fruits, vegetables, or herbs. They typically contain very few calories and are a healthy replacement for high-sugar drinks like soft drinks and processed fruit juice.

Some detox drinks are said to help your body get rid of toxins, improve your energy levels, beautify skin, and help you lose weight. Many of the benefits of detox drinks are as a result of the water itself and not the added fruit, vegetable or herbs, which are only used in tiny amounts.

Infused water made at home should not cause any side effects. But many commercially marketed detox drinks like detox teas and herbal detoxes may contain very high doses of certain powerful herbs which can cause serious liver or kidney problems. Be careful when buying such products and ideally stick to making detox drinks at home.

Here are 3 simple detox drinks that you can try and make at home.
