What Is Detox Water?
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".
How to Make Detox Water
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.
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.
