Detox water

Here’s how I prepare my Natural Belly Slimming Detox Water:

1-2 Liters water

1 cucumber

1 lemon

1 orange

10-15 fresh mint leaves

handful of ice

Why this combo?

1. Cucumber: contains citrulline which is an amino acid that has been shown to help our liver and kidneys get rid of ammonia which is a by product of the proteins our bodies burn for energy.

2. Water: helps flush toxins and waste through our system while keeping us hydrated.

3. Lemon: stimulates the digestive track so it’s helpful if you have constipation, heartburn, or gas.

4. Mint: helps you digest effectively because it improves the flow of bile from the liver to the gallbladder to the small intestine to break down dietary fats. It also helps relax cramped up stomach muscles.

5. Orange: contains flavonoids in the peel and juice that stimulate the immune system and protects against a fungi/pests while helping to reduce cholesterol levels.

By the way, when I say detox, I’m still eating! Clean and light so I can feel energetic and look awake tomorrow! I’m avoiding anything too salty because that will retain water and make me look puffy. You can prepare the water the night before so that when you wake up, it will be flavorful. I also don’t leave the fruits in the water for longer than 24 hrs. By that time all the nutrients will be in the water anyway. PLUS you want to prevent any sort of bacteria or mold growth.

Hope you guys give it a try. And you can drink this all the time – not just for photoshoots or special occasions. It makes water drinking a lot more tasty actually!

And!! New video for you!
