The Best Detox Drinks for Healthy Weight Loss

August 13, 2024 Dr Livingood

Detoxing your liver and body is important to help flush your system of the toxins that accumulate as a result of our modern lives.

When you need that extra boost of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, a detox drink that quickly delivers these healthy benefits to your body is your go-to.

Keeping a detox drink on hand is the perfect companion for when you’re fasting or if you just feel bogged down.

Here are two excellent detox drinks that will help you detox and make it easier for you to experience real health.

What Are Detox Drinks?

Detox drinks are drinks that are infused with healthy substances that won’t add to your calorie intake or derail your diet.

Instead, they are often cooling, refreshing ways to help lower the inflammation in your body and support your immune system, while staying hydrated.

Detox drinks don’t have to be fancy; they just have to give your body a boost of goodness. Plus, they are made with ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen!

Summer Detox Water

This detox drink is the perfect way to refresh your body in the summer heat, after exercising, or even after a long, stressful day.

Made with cooling cucumber, ginger, fresh mint, and lemon juice, this drink is sure to refresh your mind, body, and spirit while supporting healthy detoxification and weight loss.

To make this drink simply combine:

1 tsp grated ginger
12 mint leaves, crushed
1 small cucumber sliced
Juice of 1 lemon

Combine these ingredients in 32 oz. of water and then let the mixture infuse overnight for the best results.

This drink is great to make in a big batch before a busy week so that you always have some on hand and don’t have to wait for the infusion process.

ACV Lemonade

When it comes to apple cider vinegar, there’s a lot of flexibility in what kind of drink you can make with it.

Apple cider vinegar lemonade not only tastes great but there are different ways you can make this and different benefits that you can add.

For a simple apple cider vinegar lemonade, simply add two tablespoons of ACV to a glass of water.

Then add a scoop of electrolyte powder, which is sweetened with stevia, for an instant lemonade that gives multiple benefits wrapped into one drink.

Another option you can go with instead of adding the electrolyte powder is high dose vitamin C in an orange flavor.

This combination gives you a blast of summery hydration while you detox and support your gut health.

Not even your kids will realize it’s healthy!

Start Your Detox Today!

It doesn’t matter which detox drink you prefer or how you decide to make it.

Adding these types of drinks to your diet not only gives your digestive system a break but also supports your gut health while boosting your metabolism.

Eating clean and healthy doesn’t have to be boring and sad.

Supplementing your diet with these vitamin-filled detox drinks is a great way to have fun with your diet, too!
