Bloggingwithapril

Spring is in the air. everyone wants to feel and look their best so we can enjoy the outdoor activities. Detoxing is one way we can get there. Why do we detox? According to healthline.com detoxing helps to rest your organs by fasting, stimulate your liver to get rid of toxins, promote toxin elimination through feces, urine, and sweat, improve circulation, and provide your body with healthy nutrients.

Detox can help with various health issues, digestive issues, auto immune diseases, inflammation, allergies, etc. We often hear detox, detox, detox. The questions are: Are we detoxing the correct way? Which detox is the most effective? How often should we detox?

I feel like detoxing is the best way to clean out your body and feel energetic. I started detoxing a couple of years ago. At that time, my coworker recommended that I try the cucumber water for energy, and cleansing. Cucumber water is good for weight loss, lowering blood pleasure, helping bone health and improving skin health.

I prepared my cucumber water by taking the skin off the cucumber, cutting up the cucumber and putting in a pitcher, and then I added three bottles of water, and 1/2 bag of peppermints for flavor. I allow my water to chill in the refrigerator over night before I drink it. I try it for a week. By the end of the week I noticed the difference I feltmore upbeat, my skin was glowing, and being regular.

Other ingredients that works well with cucumber infused water are

  • Lemon

  • Lime

  • Orange

  • Mint

  • Strawberry

  • Kiwi

  • Rosemary

  • Thyme

  • Lemon Verbena

  • Lavender

Lemon water detox is good when you are fasting. Drinking lemon water when you are fasting will cleanse the body organs and internal systems. It's been stated that lemon water improves your skin tone, helps to lose weight, and boost your mood.

The benefits of apple cider vinegar detox are

    Apple cider vinegar helps to reduce appetite and burn fat. Adding apple cider vinegar to your routine may help with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. ( healthline.com)

    Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Recipe includes:

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar

  • 8 ounces of purified or distilled water

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons of sweetener( organic honey, maple syrup or 4 drops of stevia)

    I reccomend before you do a vinegar based detox consult with your physician and research the dosage amount and how often you should drink the solution. Healthline.com has an article on Is It Safe to Drink Apple Cider Vinegar While Pregnant. This article is helpful for expectant moms.
